We are trying to set up a calendar that show&#8217;s various artist&#8217;s gallery or event times.  This means that there&#8217;s lots of recurring events.  <\/p>\n<p>I read here &#8212; https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/pro-recurring-events\/&#8211; that there are some limitations to how they can work.  But here&#8217;s some weird things I see going on:<\/p>\n<p>I have an event that happens every day but Sundays from 9-5.  (It&#8217;s actually noon-4 on Saturdays, but I&#8217;m simplifying for now.)  So I did the custom recurrance with a start and end date.  Now there are a gazillion instances of the event in the Events list on the admin site.  <\/p>\n<p>On the public view, there&#8217;s now an event instance on every single day on the calendar view &#8212; and it shows up three times, I think because the calendar is broken up into three sections.  Is that right?  If so, why and can we adjust that?  I just want whatever events are happening that day, not multiple instances of one event if it goes for most of the day.<\/p>\n<p>On the list view, I see the event on every day now, too.  I guess I get why this is&#8230; but I wonder if this is the best solution for something that happens every day over a long period of time.  What do you recommend?<\/p>\n<p>Also, in this case, where I want Saturdays to be a different time than the other days &#8212; would you recommend that we manually edit the &#8220;single&#8221; versions of all of the Saturdays to get around this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-955839","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>Complex Recurring Events: Confusing.... -<\/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\/complex-recurring-events-confusing\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Complex Recurring Events: Confusing.... -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello, I&#8217;m having a hard time wrapping my brain around what&#8217;s going on with our recurring events.
