Hi,
I have a sneaky feeling this may be (in part) a timezone issue. Here in New Zealand it’s the morning of the 25th but when I create a new event the default start date is the 24th – first clue.

Further to that, at this time of day I don’t get the error first stated for a recurring event starting two weeks ago today (Wednesday) and recurring weekly over the next month when I edit today’s event and all future ones. But I DO get the error when I do the same, with the same structure, but for yesterday (Tuesdays).

BUT it’s not just a timezone thing, when I do the same thing for Sunday 22nd and the same structure, I get the error (22nd disappears). So again, it seems like only editing future events will work and editing older ones will not. I’ll drop you an email so you can take a look.

Thanks.

Hi Joyce,

I have asked for our WordPress installation to be updated but I’m not sure how one URL would work seeing as there are effectively two different events once we’ve edited all the subsequent events: the earlier ones would show different content to the later ones – or am I missing something? Perhaps you pass the date in GET variables?

I will follow up once WordPress is updated but could you please clarify on the above?

I can’t post a public link to our dev site but I could email someone if you provide me with a contact. Thanks.

Hi Rob,

Could you try editing the body of an old recurring event and see if it stays there after it’s updated for all future occurences?

Also, the permalink changes for me when I edit an event (I edit either title-only or body-only.

Hi,

Yes, after updating to the latest version we still get the problem. It also happens when we edit an older date, not just today’s (more than one instance can dissappear then). Future events it seems to do a better job with.

They are gone from the system entirely. We only edit the body, not the title or anything else.

While I’m unlikely to want to edit a past event I do need to be able to edit today’s event, and be sure that the system is robust.

Please help. Are you saying this doesn’t happen on your own installation?
