Class that meets weekly for the semester to be considered one event

Hello, I’m trying to set up EE4 on my dance school’s new website, which is not yet live. We have classes that occur one day a week for the semester and other classes meet multiple days per week for the semester. How do I set up these classes up as events? EE4 seems to be geared toward one-day events instead of classes that meet regularly. Students register and pay once for a particular class for the semester (for example, Ballet class on Mondays at 5pm, for 5 months). If they’d like to, they can register and take multiple, different classes in the semester (for example, Ballet class Mondays at 5pm and Tap class on Wednesdays at 6pm, for 5 months). Each semester-long dance class would be considered 1 event, so in the above example, they have registered for 2 events, Ballet on Mondays at 5pm and Tap on Wednesdays at 6pm.

Is it possible to have EE Support get me completely set up and running?

Thank you.

Hi Kathryn,

If the classes are a set length, for example 5 months, then you can you can use the datetimes in the event.

E.g.

Set up 20 date times (4 mondays a month, for 5 months).

Then the default ticket should automatically associate itself with all 20 date times.

If you wish you can change this and/or create other tickets. The tickets can be associated with 1. many or all of the date times.

As such you could sell 1 ticket for the full five months, 1 ticket for the first month and one ticket for the last four months.

Setting up each date as a separate datetime, allows the customer to see all the dates available and it will also show on the calendar.

IF it is just an example or general set up, we can probably do that via the Priority Support tokens – https://eventespresso.com/product/premium-support-token/

Hi Dean,

My site is on a test domain while it’s being built and then it will transfer to the real domain. I have not yet entered my site license key as it says not to if it is a test site.

That said, I don’t know if that’s what’s causing my problem or not, but in the test event I’m setting up, I cannot add additional datetimes; I only have the one. When I click add datetime, it just refreshes the page, puts me back at the top of the page, and says the event has been updated. But I still just have the one datetime.

Thanks

Hi Kathryn,

The add datetimes button should load an extra datetime without reloading the page. Does the issue continue if Event Espresso is the only plugin running?

Thanks, Lorenzo. The problem was a plugin; All In One SEO Pack. Do you know if there is a particular setting inside All In One that I need to change to be able to continue using both?

Thanks

I disabled “SEO for Custom Post Types” and that seems to have solved it.

Thank you

Is that plugin up to date?

Yes, but my EE4 is not the latest update, as I cannot yet add my site license key while I’m building on the test site.

My theme also implements custom posts, so maybe that is also having an effect.

It looks like you posted another response just before I replied. Did this work for you:

Yes, disabling “SEO for Custom Post Types” in All in One SEO plugin solved my datetime issue.

Thanks for sharing. I believe you are the first member to report that compatibility issue so it may be something with one of their recent updates.
