Here&#8217;s my scenario:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My event takes place over three non-consecutive weekends, for a total of 7 days. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Each day has different start and end times. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Attendees register for all 7 days as a package. (At least I don&#8217;t have to worry about multiple tickets.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So far, I have been creating separate events for Weekend 1 (three days), Weekend 2 (two days), and Weekend 3 (two days). I&#8217;ve just been setting them up as all-day spans of time (Friday 9am to Sunday 3pm) and putting the specific daily times in the details. This looks nice on the calendar, but it means the event detail page is imprecise, and I don&#8217;t like that the ticket email won&#8217;t show the daily times unless I tweak something.<\/p>\n<p>So how would I use Recurring Events to achieve this? Everything I&#8217;ve tried so far gives me incomplete or unexpected results. If I use &#8220;On Date,&#8221; I can&#8217;t change the time for each day. If I use &#8220;Custom,&#8221; I&#8217;m getting the event EVERY DAY between Weekend 1 and Weekend 2. <\/p>\n<p>(The &#8220;Custom&#8221; option seems so unintuitive, and redundant! If I wanted an event to happen every day, there&#8217;s already a &#8220;Daily&#8221; option for that. To be truly custom, why can&#8217;t I just say my event occurs on Day 1, 9am-6pm, AND on Day 2, 8am-4pm, AND on Day 3, 9am-5pm&#8230; etc.??!)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d appreciate any tips on getting this working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1204605","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>Recurrence rules: My brain is exploding -<\/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\/recurrence-rules-my-brain-is-exploding\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Recurrence rules: My brain is exploding -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I just can&#8217;t get my head around the proper implementation of recurring events.
