Dear Modern Tribe,<\/p>\n
I’d like to ask for some guidance. We’d like to create an event for an exhibition:
\nIt should run from 2017-08-16 to 2017-10-01. On weekdays it’s open 9:00-17:00,
\non Monday closed and on weekends it’s 13:00-17:00.
\nHere’s what we tried:<\/p>\n
1. Setting start date = 2017-08-16 9:00 and end date = 2017-10-01 17:00.
\nThis is probably not the right way (it doesn’t reflect every day’s opening hours,
\nMondays etc.).
\nStill, there’s a problem – the event doesn’t display for September at all!
\nLooking back on August it’s there for every day, but not for the remaining months.
\nThis looks like a bug.<\/p>\n
2. Using recurring events:
\nSetting start date = 2017-08-16 9:00 and end date = 2017-08-16 17:00. Weekly
\nrecurrence with special entries for weekdays and weekends.<\/p>\n
This results in copying the event into per-day individual events in the administration,
\nand it has some weird consequences for the public site too. For instance Related Events
\nshow the same recurring event, just on different days, which doesn’t make any sense.
\nBasically it doesn’t look like one event running on multiple days, but many events differing
\nonly by date.<\/p>\n
It seems that using recurring events for an exhibition is not the right thing to do after all.<\/p>\n
Can you suggest the right approach please?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1352459","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
