Example: Race4Cure Sponsored by IBM goes for a few years and then changes to Race4Cure Sponsored by Tesla.<\/p>\n<p>Historically I want to maintain the original name from 2012-2014 events for reference, and change the 2015-2018 name to reflect the new sponsor. However the venue, annual schedule and all other details stay the same from year-to-year.<\/p>\n<p>Would this require creating a new event whenever the title must change because it is linked to previous events?<br \/>\nAlso, if a new event must be created is there a way to clone the original, since all other details remain the same, and just change the name?<br \/>\nAnd lastly, since these annual event fall on a consistent weekend of the year, but the actual dates on that weekend change every year, is it possible to create the repeating event such that in 2012 it lands on one date, 2013 on another, 2014 another, etc.?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again. These answers will likely push me into the Pro version if you respond as I expect. It&#8217;s time to enter all the 2017 events into the DB and link everything up.<\/p>\n<p>Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1188831","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cloning repeating events -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/cloning-repeating-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cloning repeating events -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Folks, I couldn&#8217;t find an answer specific to my question or that I could infer from other questions.
