Recurring Events – Meta Boxes

    I use the WCK plugin to add my own custom post types and custom fields to my post types. The Events Manager plugin shows a custom post type ‘Event’. My custom fields show up as meta boxes whenever I edit an event.

    When I create a ‘recurring event’ the meta boxes are missing. I can see the WCK plugin does not show ‘recurring events’ as a selection either to assign my custom field to. I assume ‘event’ would suffice.

    How do I add the same custom fields for recurring events, seems like a flaw with the events manager plugin?

    recurring event uses different post type name ‘event-recurring’ you can try this post type instead.

    Thanks, that’s good to know.

    The problem is the WCK plugin doesn’t pick up the post type in the list when creating ‘custom fields’, only ‘events’, so they can’t be assigned to that post type. I can’t create my own custom post type ‘event-recurring’ as WCK doesn’t let me use hyphens. (just in case I could fool it into seeing it)

    Hello,

    I think it’s the WCK that is having an issue detecting the “event-recurring” post type. You might need to contact them for it. I’m using ACF to add custom fields and it could detect the “event-recurring” post-type

    Thanks, it is, I have contacted them and they say they have passed on to developers but don’t think it will be fixed and their plugin was not designed to pick up custom post types outside of their own plugin. Too far down the line to rebuild with another meta box plugin now.

    The reason your plugin does not see the ‘event-recurring’ is probably because EM creates it as “not public”. You could add this snippet to your theme’s functions.php to solve that. It also works for Yoast metaboxes. ??
