We don’t want to show expired instances of recurring events
I used [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=”false”] to turn them off on calendar view. How to turn them off on the upcoming event widget?
Thanks,
karen

Hi Karen,
Within the widget settings.
Dashboard -> Appearance -> Widgets. ‘Event Espresso Upcoming Events Widget’
You’ll have the option ‘Show Expired Events?’, just set that to No to remove the expired events from the widget.

Hi Tony,
I did set it to no. However, since other instances of the recurring events are not expired, the first expired instance still shows up.
Can you advice?
thanks,
karen

How where the events created within REM?
Are you using automatic date creation or manual?

Create dates automatically or select manually? Automatic.
Are all events available between the registration dates above? Yes

That simplifies this some.
An event becomes ‘Expired’ based upon the Registration Dates + the Event Dates.
This option:
Are all events available between the registration dates above? Yes
Sets all of the Events to have the same Registration Start/End date, meaning all of the events within that series will remain Open until the Registration End date.
So to fix there’s currently 2 options. We have a Pre-release version of REM available through the Pre-release Channel which has an option to set all of the events to expire on the event start date. This would involve, disabling & deleting the current version of REM you have, then upload and activate the Pr-release version.
Then you simply edit the first event of the series, check the ‘Registration closes on event start date’ checkbox and update all the events within the series. (Recommended method)
Or
If you prefer you can switch to the other option:
No (each event’s registration start and end dates will be incremented according to a formula).
Then set the Registration Start Date for REM to a date far into the past, the Registration End date to the current events Start date and update all events within that series to apply that formula to all events. (We can provide more details on this if you prefer this option)

I got it option 2 looks nice. I already changed my setting accordingly. It seems to work.
a follow-up question about recurring event.
– when duplicating a recurring event, it seems to duplicate the first instance only. is that true? here is my situation. i need to scheudle a workshop for every monday 3pm and Wednesday 10am. so i created a recurring event for monday and tried to duplicate it for wednesday. Let me know if there is better way to do that.
thanks,
karen

Hi Karen,
The duplicate feature will only duplicate a single event, not a series. You would need to create a new recurring series for the Wednesday events. Sorry about that.
