I have a requirement to display a future event with unspecified dates. I currently define an event with an arbitrary future date with a very clear description including the message “dates to be determined”. However, this is still somewhat misleading. Can you suggest a means to handle this scenario via Events Pro? Ideally, an option to “hide the dates?” would be the most effective, as the start\/end dates would then behave like enable\/disable display flags for the event, thereby achieving the notion of a Placeholder Event. Alternatively, I may have to resort to CSS hacks to hide the date information for these events, but that is not viable in the long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-888142","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nTBD?
