Hello,<\/p>\n

This is kind of a follow-up to this thread: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/event-custom-meta-fields-for-wp_query\/#post-1232502<\/p>\n

While I got that working for one-time events, when I try to display recurring events using either _EventStartDate<\/code> or tribe_get_start_date($post, false, $format = 'M' );<\/code> it defaults to showing the *first* date of the recurring events.<\/p>\n

Using a custom wp_query<\/code> or using tribe_get_events();<\/code> how can I display the start dates of one-time events along with the individual dates of recurring events?<\/p>\n

Example: <\/p>\n

Mar 12 My One-Time Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mar 17 First Instance of Recurring Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mar 20 Another One-Time Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mar 24 Second Instance of Recurring Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mar 31 Third Instance of Recurring Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using _EventStartDate<\/code> will return March 17 for all instances of the recurring event so how can I get the individual dates?<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1250819","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nStart date(s) for recurring 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\/start-dates-for-recurring-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Start date(s) for recurring events -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello, This is kind of a follow-up to this thread: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/event-custom-meta-fields-for-wp_query\/#post-1232502 While I got that working for one-time events, when I try to display recurring events using either _EventStartDate or tribe_get_start_date($post, false, $format = 'M' ); it defaults to showing the *first* date of the recurring events.
