Hi guys
I have installed the recurring events dropdown template, but I can’t find and docs on how to use it. Can you give me a link to the doc please.

Why are all the recurring events showing on the event post page?

Hi,
Please make sure You have both the Custom Template Display and Recurring Dropdown plugins installed and activated.
Once done, add the following shortcode to any post or page: [EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=”recurring-dropdown”]
This will then display a table of events. Any recurring events will be compiled to a single entry with a drop down for dates.
The documentation is found here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/custom-template-add-on/#recurring

ok thanks I did that.
But it’s still not right – here’s the screenshot http://www.screencast.com/t/V8p6jxoc1 – this was on the actual event registration page (I’ve now deleted the shortcode), shouldn’t it display on the events post page? http://www.womenwithaltitude.com.au/events. It’s pointless otherwise – AND it’s still displaying ALL the events – the ones that are not open yet.
The other problem I’m having is the widget in the side bar of the home page – it’s only showing events from one series (Nepean), shouldn’t it be chronological? shouldn’t it show the events coming up in date order?

Hi, the recurring events dropdown template is another way to display your events in Event Espresso.
It does not replace the content on the event listing page or the single event pages.
The widget on the home page appears to already be in chronological order. Is it set to show all categories of events?

Thanks Lorenzo, I have deactivated these plugins as it just doesn’t work like I expected. I wish I knew that before I bought the add on.
Back to manually adding all 68 of our regular recurring events.
about the widget – yes it is displaying correctly now – it started working right once I deactivated the plugins – so clearly the plugins are conflicting with the widget.
We are now investigating a customised event solution – getting tired of all the issues with EE.
