Hello-
We’ve recently purchased event espresso. We have classes that occur on Thursdays only for 12 weeks and another event that is only every 1st and 3rd Thursday indefinitely.
Is there a way to show on the calendar only the specific day of the week these events occur, instead of one big blanket over several weeks?
Thank you.

Hi Jeff,
Do you mean to just show a single day on the calender rather than a month view? If so you can change the shortcode to [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR cal_view="basicDay"] and it will only show the current day.
If you don’t mean that could you please expand on your question and/or give an example?

Hi Dean.
No, not just to show single day view. I mean, if I have an event that occurs every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month (indefinitely) I want that event to only be marked on the calendar on those Thursdays (not a continuous line across the calendar days).
Also, if I have an event that occurs every Monday night for 12 weeks, I want it to show on the map only on Monday (not show a line across the 12 weeks across every day).
Does that make sense? I want it to function like a google calendar would, where the event shows only in the specified day, not across several days.
Thank you.

Hi Jeff,
This is possible by creating an event for each time that the event takes place. If you’re using the recurring event manager, you can set all the dates that follow the first one to not display a registration form, and link to the first event’s registration page. This way, each date will show up on the calendar, but they’ll all link to the event that you’ve set up for signups. Here is a link to a thread in our old forums where there is a few more details on how to set this up (including screenshots)

Thanks Josh – I’m assuming then that I must use the “Recurring Event Manager” to make this happen? Is that an additional charge?
Thank you.

Hello Jeff,
The Recurring Event Manager is part of the Business and Developer licences or can be bought separately https://eventespresso.com/product/espresso-recurring/
The add on creates an event for each day for you in the date order you want (i.e. every monday for 12 weeks).
You do not have to buy the add on to do what is necessary, you can manually add each once, but I think you can see the value in having the computer do in a few seconds what would take you a lot longer to do manually.
