The user can also submit an event with the field blank when setting it to &#8220;End AFTER&#8221; ___ days\/weeks\/months. Those are not as big of an issue as the &#8220;End ON&#8221; problem, since the latter has a &#8220;1&#8221; in the field by default and the user would need to delete it from the field in order for it to be blank. Still, no error message is thrown in that case either.<\/p>\n<p>When an admin is reviewing the event, the admin cannot publish the event unless an end date is entered (the notification &#8220;You must select a recurrence end date&#8221; is shown when the admin attempts to &#8220;publish&#8221; the recurring event without an end date).<\/p>\n<p>Recurring events cannot be changed to non-recurring<br \/>\nAdditionally, if the admin (or user\/author) changes the recurrence to &#8220;None&#8221; the event still remains a &#8220;recurring&#8221; event (on the pending events list, in search results, on the single event page, etc) even though &#8220;None&#8221; is shown as its recurrence when editing the event. The url of the event also retains the &#8220;\/all&#8221; at the end of the permalink.<\/p>\n<p>I understand that a permanent fix might not be available in the near-term, but would it be possible to provide a temporary fix so it is possible to change a recurring event to non-recurring? That would also be a workaround for &#8220;fixing&#8221; the blank recurrence field issue.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<br \/>\nSean<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-798747","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>Recurring events bugs: Can&#039;t be changed to non-recurring; fields can be blank -<\/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\/recurring-events-bugs-cant-be-changed-to-non-recurring-fields-can-be-blank\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Recurring events bugs: Can&#039;t be changed to non-recurring; fields can be blank -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I am running TEC, TEC PRO, Community Events, and Filter Bar.
