It might help to add some descriptive text in the description that lists the dates that the event will take place.

You can also create events for the other two dates and set the “Alternate Registration URL” to be the URL that you posted above. That way, if you have the calendar set up, if someone clicks on any of the dates that the workshop takes place on, they’ll be directed to that page.

You can disable the registration form for those other dates as well from the event options section of the event editor.

One more thing: hide the page that has the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode from the site navigation (don’t delete it), and create a page that displays a single event registration form by using the [SINGLEEVENT] shortcode or the [ESPRESSO_REG_PAGE] shortcode.

Here’s more information on the shortcodes: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/

@mpurse
Event Espresso 3.2 has a new feature that lets you add additional dates. It’s still under development, so I can’t say for a certainly that it will solve all the issues you are having right now, but it should help.

We are trying to do the same thing. We have a single event that meets at the same time on four non-consecutive days. We can add additional times on the same date, but not additional days. Selecting the first date as Start and last date as End date lists the event on the calendar as spanning all dates as if the event lasted for two weeks. Please add this fuctionality.

I just purchased Event Espresso and for some reason thought that I could already do this. Almost all classes offered at my business span multiple, non-consecutive days, and creating separate events for each date of every class seems like a nightmare. Any idea when a formal 3.2 release will be?

Hi Andrew,

In this case, I think this can be addressed before 3.2 is ready for production sites. This may be remedied by altering the display of these events in order to make it more obvious that this is a single event running on non-consecutive days. Can you post a link to the page on the site that displays the information that is causing confusion? If I can take a look at the current page, I may be able to give you some recommendations that can help.

Hello Kevin,

You can remove the start date and time by adding this CSS code to your theme’s style.css file:

.start_date,    
.event_time {
    display: none;
}

You’re welcome, Kevin.

Glad we could help. If there is anything else we can do, let us know.
