I am interested in using Event Espresso 4 to register students for classes. These classes meet on a weekly basis (i.e. every Tuesday for 8 weeks). Can EE4 handle this? I am in your demo site and do not see how to set this up.
Thank you.

A recurring events manager is on the roadmap for EE4 although it is currently not being actively developed due to other areas of EE needing to be finalized before REM.
Can you explain a little more how you want this to work please?
You can manually create multiple datetimes within an event on EE4, then assign a single ticket to multiple datetimes so that a single ticket purchase registers them only all of those datetimes. This will be a single full payment for all the classes, not a recurring payment.
What I would like to do is use Event Espresso for registration and event management for classes. The classes typically meet for 8 week sessions, once a week at the same day of the week and time. It is a single payment for the entire session.
The datetime setting in EE4 definitely sounds like the best course of action here.
In your case, you would create 8 datetimes, representing the 8 week course, and then create a single ticket. The ticket should automatically attach itself to all the datetimes.
When the user buys the ticket they get access to all the eight datetitmes. Also the datetimes will show as separate blocks on the calendar but will all lead to the same event for registration.
This means you only need one event per 8 week course.
Does that help? Please let us know if you have any other questions.
