Hello, I’m having an issue with getting the formula right for recurring events. Basically, I’m using Event Espresso to sell tickets to a weekly Dinner theatre. I don’t actually care about the Registration start date. People can buy tickets for next year if they want 🙂 But that field is required, so I enter in today’s date.
I DO enter in a registration close date. I don’t want people accidentally buying tickets for old shows. I also don’t want old shows appearing in the “Upcoming Events” widget. So, I set the option:
“No (each event’s registration start and end dates will be incremented according to a formula)”
It is properly setting all the registration end times. However, the problem is that the formula is automatically setting the registration start date to the day of the event.
My question is: is there anyway to set a static registration start date while keeping the end date variable? If not, I can set them all to use the same registration start & end dates, but I need a way to keep old events from appearing in the “Upcoming events” widget.
Any help would be much appreciated 🙂

Hi Karla,
I think you can make this happen with variable start and end dates.
You can try setting the registration start date to a date from around 1 year ago. Then you can set the registration end date to end the same day as the day of the first event.
What this will do is make all the events for the next 1 year open for registration now but they’ll close on the day the event takes place.
Hope that helps!
