Need help with grouping

    I am trying to use event manager shortcode to display all upcoming events on a page. However, so as not to clog the page with unnecessary repeats, I’d like to only display the closest iteration of a recurring event at any given time. So if there was an event which occurred every day for a month, then only today’s version should show up and the rest would be hidden.

    I’m trying to follow along with the grouping tutorial here but I’m stuck either only showing a single instance of a recurring event and nothing else, or I’m showing all events including every instance of a recurring event.

    Has anyone had better luck figuring this out? Is there a different event plugin that will work better while being free? Thanks for your assistance!

    SOLVED:
    It is possible to combine recurring and non-recurring events with this plugin, but the documentation could stand to be updated. in the grouping tutorial, the groupby category is “recurring-id” but in my case it should have been “recurrence-id”. This seems to be the default category name. Using this I am able to get the first iteration of a recurring event correctly placed within the event order.

    If other users have the same problem of combining recurring and non-recurring events, I highly recommend you try to view the raw data of the event format in order to accurately call these shortcodes.
