Hi @marcdegagnelob, thanks for providing more information here.

I reached out to one of our devs saying:

It’s possible that the reason why the hook isn’t triggering as expected on the update is that the Edit Single link and thus breaking the event out of the series.

According to the docs → this action will not fire if a recurring event instance is broken out of the series (e.g. using the “Edit Single” link).

Could you confirm if you’re trying to trigger using the Edit All Link instead of Edit Single?

Lastly, since you have an active license and for us to help you better, please open a Support Ticket on our Help Desk.

We look forward to helping you out with this one.

Best,

No this does not apply.
When initially created a recurrent event is edit all by default I presume.
When I edit (update) an event is edit all.
I have not yet tackle this part of editing a single event from a series.

I found a hidden condition in my code that prevented the hoped logic to append. Now that this is corrected I still find recurring events odd to put the proper logic on it.
Here is what I found:

Since I am attempting to hook to any events:
– For the single event, I hook onto the “save_post” WP hook that work all OK.
– For the recurrent events, I am using presently the “tribe_events_pro_recurring_event_save_after” hook (after the hidden condition was removed).
-Works for creation and updates
– But the first event when created of the series in both cases is not going through the same hook and is captured by the save_post hook only.
– To hook upon the event deletion I use save_post.

I don’t know if on your side if this is the expected behavior.

Late yesterday, I was able to get that par working (almost) by using a condition to filter the first event of the series going through the save_post hook.

I used : if( $post->post_type == “tribe_events” AND ! $post->post_parent OR ( $post->post_type == “tribe_events” AND $ new_post_status == “trash” )
Not as clean as would like but it works for the first event of the series and events that are trashed.

I am still stuck to smaller recurrent events.
I can’t grab all the events a of larger series unfortunately. I max out at 11 events.

Any clue to get me further would be appreciated.

I will look into hiring one of your dev. This is more than I can tackle.

Thanks,

A ticket was opened.

Thanks

Come to think of it…

Would you know if an event that as more than 10 recurring events would use a cron job or a specific hook to save events?

Thanks

Hello @marcdegagnelob, thanks for creating a new ticket on our helpdesk. This seems technical, and my colleague Truman already escalated your concern to a higher Tier.
