How to do complex repeating schedule

    I’m setting up calendar & event ticketing for recurring events at a 99-seat theater. They have three productions coming up that will run simultaneously on different nights of the week for several weeks.

    Play 1: Mondays at 7pm, Wednesdays at 2pm, Saturdays at 7pm, and Sundays at 5pm
    Play 2: Wednesdays at 7 pm, Fridays at 7 pm, Saturdays at 9pm, and Sundays at 7pm. (skipping one Sunday)
    Play 3: Tuesdays at 7pm, Thursdays at 2pm and 7pm, and Sundays at 2pm

    I’m using Elementor and the Hello theme. I have a payments account with Stripe ready to go. If necessary, I can use ACF. I have the complete schedule of dates and all data in a CSV, ready to import, just need to know the right column labels. Hoping there’s an example somewhere.

    Each of the plays is represented by a Post. What I’d love to do is have a show-specific calendar embedded for each post that showed only the available days for that play, as well as a calendar page that shows all performances in one place. If I have to choose between them, I’d choose… the easiest! ??

    How do I set this up? Thanks!

    Ok, I’ve gotten quite a bit further along and everything else is working. Yay! Best workaround for this I can envision is make separate events for the different days that repeat, even though it means maintaining 3 or 4 iterations of the same show, then showing just an aggregated calendar view to tie it all together. Any downside to that? Is there a better way? Thanks again.

    I updated to the latest version, and I see a lot of this has been addressed. Thanks! The repeat section is buggy, though. Making changes once a pattern has been established doesn’t always work.
