To edit a recurring event you have to locate either the original or the most recent event, as each event shows as a separate occurrence, rather than one editable event with multiple recurrences. When you&#8217;ve set a recurring event for months or years, it becomes extremely difficult (near on impossible) to edit future events. I&#8217;ve had to delete 5,000 events and start from scratch because the process of finding the original recurring event or one which is near to the current date is so tedious.<\/p>\n<p>2. You also can&#8217;t search through events which are forthcoming, a search turns up every event, past or future. Useless when trying to edit future events.<\/p>\n<p>3. Also, one can&#8217;t set a recurring event which happens Mondays through Fridays or Mondays through Saturdays, for example. You have to create a separate event for each day of the week.  Would be great to create an event that occurs every day *except* and be able to tick which days it did not occur.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, David<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-41635","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>Questions on Recurring Events functionality -<\/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\/questions-on-recurring-events-functionality\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Questions on Recurring Events functionality -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi there &#8211; I&#8217;m posting some feedback from a client who uses Events Calendar Pro and is experiencing some frustration with the Recurring Events functionality.
