The addition of the &#8220;Same time&#8221; option under the Custom option in the Recurrence Rules section is a blessing, but it&#8217;s not quite flexible enough for my needs yet. Take, for instance, an event (a training course) I&#8217;m trying to set up. It occurs Friday- Monday, April 28- May 1, 2017. The Friday &#8211; Sunday times are 9:00 am &#8211; 5:30pm, but the final day, Monday, runs from 8:00am &#8211; 4:15pm. But it&#8217;s the same event, so I want it to be recurring.<\/p>\n<p>So I can set up the time for Friday, have it recur daily until Sunday, April 30, but I can&#8217;t figure out how to add a recurrence on Monday, May 1 at a different time from the previous days. I could choose the &#8220;Custom&#8221; option under recurrence rules and change the time, but this uniformly changes the time for all the days that fall under that custom umbrella. I.e. CUSTOM won&#8217;t add in just one standalone date: it assumes a series, since the rule that follows it is &#8220;and will end on&#8221;. In other words, this setup would work perfectly in a scenario where Day 1 had times X &#8211; Y, but Days 2-4 had times A &#8211; B: just add in a CUSTOM series ending on Day 4 with times A &#8211; B and you&#8217;re done. But that doesn&#8217;t work with single days. I tried adding May 1 with its unique times as a CUSTOM, but that rule cannot specify just one day: it assumes that the special 8am &#8211; 4:15pm May 1 schedule recurs daily from the start date up to May 1, which effectively gives me 2 times each day (see second screenshot).<\/p>\n<p>I hope the issue I&#8217;m trying to communicate is clear. I think the solution would actually be pretty simple: add the &#8220;Same time&#8221; tick box under the DATE Recurrence rule and not just the CUSTOM one. Then I could add in just one day (or multiple single days) to a series and specify the time for each one. This would accommodate series with changing schedules. Would that be possible, or am I missing a simpler solution that&#8217;s already present in the software?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks so much!<\/p>\n<p>Curtis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1215822","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>Recurring events with different times each day -<\/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\/recurring-events-with-different-times-each-day\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Recurring events with different times each day -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi Events Calendar Pro Support, I wanted to follow up on a thread that posts something of a similar issue: Recurrence rules: My brain is exploding I bought your plugin because of recurring events support, but I&#8217;m finding it difficult to adapt to certain situations.
