Repetitions / font weight

    Hello,

    first of all: a happy and peaceful new year!
    And a second first of all: I really like the plugin! It has many setting options and I particularly like the detailed documentation, which is easy to understand even for non-experts. Unfortunately, I have also encountered two problems …:

    1) The repeat feature doesn’t seem to work properly.

    a) Firstly, the number of repetitions seems to be limited. If I select annual repetitions for e.g. 15 years, this works for the first 12 or 13 years, but for the following years only the day and month are saved correctly, but the year is not counted up, but the current year (2024) is saved. (In this context: What does “j?hrlich – 50 Zeiten” mean? That a maximum of 50 repetitions of a date can be saved?)

    b) Even if annual repetitions for 15 years don’t work – it doesn’t matter. 10 years is also good, but that doesn’t always work either. When creating an event for 25.04.24 (see screenshot1), I enter that the event should be repeated on 25.04. for 9 years (by entering 2033-04-25 for “Repeat until”). After saving, the period is also confirmed in the overview-list (see screenshot2) and at the top of the event-data-page (see screenshot3), but when I click on “Zeige geplante Termine” (in English something like “Show planned dates”?), I see that the years are counted up correctly, but the day has shifted from the 25th to the 24th (although the 25th is mentioned above). Why does this not work? Perhaps too little memory in the MyCalendar tables? So far I have created 20 data records with 9 recurrences each, i.e. 200 dates in total. (By the way: deleting the data record and creating a new one always leads to the same result). The only chance seems to be adding manually for the next 9 years (seen screenshot4), but that isn’t very comfortable …

    2) Another question about the design: In the frontend, the text in the grid view is displayed in bold. But I would like to have the text in normal font weight. I suspect that the choice of the bold font variant is due to the theme used, because I have installed MyCalendar in parallel under a different theme for test purposes and the text is displayed in normal font weight there. So how can I set the font weight “normal” to be used in the grid? Through a specific class in the theme’s style.css or in my MyCalendar-style.css (wp-content/plugins/my-calendar-custom/styles/mattas-calendar-on-twentytwentytwo.css)? And if so, what should it look like? (I’m not very familiar with CSS and only know “strong” and “b”, but no instruction for non-strong).

    Many thanks for your attention and help.

    Kind regards
    Matta

    1. There’s no specific limitation on how many repetitions can be added. I can’t reproduce the problem you’re describing where the year goes back to the current year; I added an annual event through 2064, and it was fine.
    2. If you’re seeing “j?hrlich – 50 Zeiten”, that means you haven’t added an end date. There is no option for infinitely repeating events in My Calendar, so if you don’t set the end of the repetition cycle, it’ll default to a specific value. For annual events, that’s 50 times.
    3. The list of dates in the admin has a bug where it doesn’t calculate the timezone offset correctly. So you’re seeing those dates with an incorrect offset. It doesn’t impact the data saved or the data shown on the front-end.
    4. Bold text: It may be inherited from your heading styles. It looks like you’ve moved on to something else, so I can’t look to see what you would need to override, specifically, since it can be theme dependent.
