Repeating events not displaying

    I tried searching around for an answer on this, but to no avail.

    I have a Tennis Club website which uses your Google Calendar Events plugin which, for the most part, brings in feeds as expected. However, it doesn’t seem to work with events that repeat (set initial date and then check the repeat daily/weekly/monthly box).

    I’ve tried retyping the feed ID, as well as deleting the calendar (in Google Calendar) and setting-up a new one, but same problem. However if I add a single one-off date it does show up in the feed, which would suggest it has something to do with the ‘repeat’ function.

    One final thing I’ve found is that the feeds are very influenced by the Minimum and Maximum Feed End/Start Dates. If these are not set to certain conditions, the feed won’t render – 1 year back/6 months forward seems a fairly safe setting!

    Otherwise it’s a really useful plugin and thank you for your time and effort maintaining it.

    Do you have the option “Expand Recurring Events?” checked?

    Hi Nick,

    No, because I only want to show the next event rather than a full list. However, I’ve just tried checking the ‘Expand Recurring Events’ box and, yes, they do appear! So hopefully that helps to narrow down the problem.

    Alright so if you only want to show the next 1 event then you can set it up as a list with the option of “show the next 1 event”. If you leave the recurring events option off then it will only grab the original date that event was created.

    Hope that helps.

    hello,
    here is a screenshot of the events in google calendar:

    here is the frontend with the events (all-day events NOT shown):
    https://www.gymnasium-eppendorf.de/kalender/

    this is my shortcode (in template):
    <?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[gcal id=”9976, 9977, 9978, 9971, 9972, 9973, 9974, 9975″ interval=”events” interval_count=”80″ display=”list”]’ ); ?>

    this is a screenshot of the settings:

    any idea?

    @ps3hero,

    I am curious does it work if you just add the shortcode into the page? I am wondering if there might be an issue with the do_shortcode() implementation.

    Hi Nick,

    Thank you for your help. The explanation about the original date makes sense now.

    Just one question, I can’t see where to add the ‘show the next 1 event’ condition, could you point me in the right direction?

    Sure thing! Here is a screenshot showing the main feed settings where you can set this:
