Is it possible to display only the first date of a recurring event in the Upcoming Events module? I’m working on a site that offers multi-session classes, but you can only register and pay once. They want to keep the dates on the calendar so people can see when the classes take place, but no dates after the first class session should display on the widget to prevent people from trying to register. I do have the option for list views toggled on in the settings, but apparently that doesn’t affect the widget?
Hi Lisa, and welcome to the forums! Let’s see what’s happening here with your recurring events.
The “Recurring event instances” option in Events > Settings should affect the Event List widget as well. In fact, it does only display the first instance when I tested it out on my local setup.
I know this sounds dumb, but the first thing I’d check is that the setting is in fact selected Events > Settings (screenshot). Check that and then hit the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the screen just for due diligence.
Hopefully that helps but, if not, then it sounds like there may be a theme or plugin conflict at play. Will you please run through the steps outlined in our Testing for Conflicts Guide and see if you notice a difference under those conditions?
When testing for conflicts, please test with new recurring events after the default theme has been activated and all other plugins have been deactivated, as I’m not sure that those steps will have an impact on existing events.
Give those steps a shot and please let me know what you find. 🙂
Cheers!
GeoffThanks, I’ll test for conflicts and see what happens. I did toggle the bar off, cleared the cache, and then back on, and it still shows the final date of a recurring event in the widget. I’ll run through the conflict testing after hours and let you know the results.
