SUGGESTION/HELP – Recurring Events

[Marco]

I am a teacher, and give photography classes. Most of times don’t have a regular recurrence for my classes. So it means that I can have classes, for three mondays in a row, and then skip one, and then have classe for two mondays, and then have the practical part on a Sunday. Would it be possible to have such possibility with the PRO versione of Events Calendar?

Hi there, Marco–thanks for getting in touch!

Good question. You can certainly do custom recurring patterns, but the frequencies are pretty locked in. For example, an event can occur Weekly on Mondays every 3 weeks for six months. However, you can’t change the pattern beyond that once it’s created.

We’ve started working on a more freeform way to create recurring patterns but don’t have a set timeframe for when it will be ready.

In the meantime, I think your best bet is to create a recurring event that repeats weekly on Mondays, then edit/delete the specific instances where they fall outside the pattern. You can edit each event individually once the series has been created, though editing an event will take it out of the series.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

HI Geoff! Well Thanks a lot. Please keep me updated on the development of this feature.
So far, I have edited info in the text of the event, but in the next ones I will try to use your suggestion.

Thanks

That sounds great, thanks Marco! I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to open a new one if any other questions pop up–we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
