Monthly Schedule?

Right now, the plugin really only serves the coming week or a show schedule that is going to mostly repeat consistently. We are in the planning stages of expanding the schedule to monthly, but that will be in our PRO version. I don’t have a timeline yet for PRO as we are in the process of organizing our company structure and getting all of our paperwork in place. I’d probably say by mid-summer (end July or early August) we should have an announcement about that. Sorry we can’t help any further. We’ve advanced the plugin from its original functionality a great deal and are thinking about those large scale changes that give you a monthly calendar option which users can then see what’s coming up three weeks or two months from now.

OK, thanks Tony.

I will keep an eye out for the Pro version with interest.

In the meantime, do you have any advice on workarounds for this — any ways that a monthly schedule can be served effectively using the weekly schedules that the plugin currently allows, eg by scheduling posts, perhaps?

No problem if not, but just curious.

Thanks again,

Joe

I don’t, sorry. The Show itself is a post type, and that can be scheduled to be published. But the show times are appended to the Show and cannot be at this time.

You don’t want to make 12 show pages, because each time one goes live it will change the URL to /show-title-2, then -3, etc. And that changes the link anyone has set to that page and you’ll end up having multiple 404 links to prior show pages in search that people might find and click on.

Sure, you could constantly set redirects from any old published show page to the new page, but that’s not automated and is a pain if you forget.

Now that I type this, I guess it’s feasible to do, but again not automated unless you write something code to set a new redirect every time you publish a new page. But if you make a content change to the Show description I. a page during the month, you have to make it to all your future pages too.

We have about 3 shows that are bi weekly and can tackle this using the overrides. Depending on how drastically your schedule changes week on week, this might be a solution?
