My recurring events are irregular

Hi there,
This is not displaying how I had hoped – my recurring events are irregular so I chose manual and inserted start and end registration dates for each event, but it’s displaying all the events on the post page – do I need to get the “Recurring Events Dropdown Template” addon for this to display better?
Any other suggestions?

HI Andrea,

How are you today?

Can you describe more what you’re looking for? Do you only want one of the events in the series showing in the event listing or something? The Recurring Events Custom Template would help.

Hi Garth
(It’s Trish – for Andrea)

Yes we want only one event to show – currently it’s displaying an event post for each date – I think it would be better if there was just one event listed on the Events page – with an option to choose the date of the one people are registering for. The dates need to be added manually as some occur every 2 weeks and some every 3 weeks.

Cheers & thanks
Trish

Hi,

I think the best choice for you would probably be the templates that come bundled in the Recurring Event Manager plugin itself, found here /wp-content/plugins/espresso-recurring/recurring-event-templates/

These can be copied to wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/

Don’t forget to check the readme.txt that comes with it as a small snippet of CSS will need to be added to your site.

This template bundles the recurring events together so on clicking the register link it will show a series of dates first: http://take.ms/RnINg

The Recurring Events Dropdown Template for the Custom Templates addon is also an excellent alternative should you prefer a more tabular layout: https://eventespresso.com/product/recurring-events-drop-down/

Thanks Dean – can you give me a link to a site that is using REM in this way? – just so I can show the team what it looks like.

Thanks again.

Hi,

I’m not aware of any particular site using it like this, the above screenshot is from a locally hosted site.
