Hi, I’ve been enjoying Events Calendar Pro for the last month and it suits my needs for adding venues and organizers easily and generating a calendar view. However I often have events that repeat sporadically, such as a lecture or workshop, hosted by the same organizers and at the same location but at varying dates and times. These events share the same title, description, featured image and, most importantly, comments. Many people use this area to review the event and give their recommendations, and it’s been difficult to maintain the same conversation over time.<\/p>\n

I’ve been using a duplicate post plugin for the interim, but I find this not only confuses commenters, but it’s also been duplicating the featured image in the media section, and creating confusing permalinks (e.g. event-title-2, event-title-3) that I have to manage manually. Right now, I have 8 of the same event in the ECP management area and they’re not associated with each other even though they have the same content. That number will grow.<\/p>\n

I am trying to find a method of adding independent (non-recurring) dates to an event similar to Event Calendar 3 (the plugin I used before that lacks features and support.) Any plans for this feature or hacks to make it work?<\/p>\n

Thanks for a great product. I hope the Tribe team has a solution for this scenario!
