Hey Guys,

I think I have got the same problem. Cannot tell 100% since I cannot read the private messages. I have hundreds of duplicates of recurring events and some of them I cannot delete in bulk. Because we have really a lot of recurring Events, there are about 4500 Events in total right now of which many are duplicates. I started deleting them but they reappear faster than I can delete. I do not really understand this. However I use the roots.io theme as a base and the Events Calendar 3.7.
Do you have any clue how to fix this? Anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks in advance

Christoph

Hello Barry, hello Katy!

Do you have any Idea if you will add such a feature in the near future (say 6 months) or is it something you might do someday which also could be “never”. We are scheduling recurring courses with Events Calendar Pro and it is a pain in the ass that we have to setup individual events and all by hand and then apply changes to each individual event etc…

Thanks in Advance!

Hey Brook,

thanks for you help. Everything you say makes sense to me. I actually just found another solution to solve my issue finally:

I set up two queries. One with get_posts for posts and the other one with tribe_get_events. I then merge the resulting two arrays and pass them through the loop. Like this I have them presented one “group” after the other but inside the same loop. I guess I could somehow reorder them if i wanted. Here is the code: http://pastebin.com/jz8UaD3b

Do you think that is a smart way or can I run into any other trouble with this solution? On first sight it seems to work.

…The only issue I have got left now is that for recurring events with ‘tribe_get_start_date’ it echoes the date of the first occurrence which most of the time is in the past. Do you ave any recommendation how to deal with this? As you can see in the code I query posts and events that have a certain value on their meta_key. I attribute this value to them via an ACF-Field. What is the behavior of recurring events in the Events Calendar anyways? How could I possibly target only one event out of a series of recurring events of the same kind and get that one inside the loop? That might have been answered elsewhere but I thought I just shoot it, since we are talking anyways..

Thanks in advance!

Hey Jonah,

never found the time to reply. Thanks a lot for your code. It works now. It’s feels a little bit to handish for my taste but what works works .;)

Cheers from Berlin
