I also have a question about documentation from your site.<\/strong>  (https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/pro-recurring-events\/)<br \/>\nTHE EVENTS CAL writes:<br \/>\n&#8220;It is possible to create a recurring event with no end date for the event to stop recurring. (Please note that doing so will set the event to recur indefinitely. This will create an indefinitely growing number of events posts in the calendar. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This does not make sense.
