Would you advise I file a ticket on this? I’m totally cool with purchasing the support, too.

Another wrinkle, I’m afraid!

Yesterday evening I changed the dates on my Repeating test events to have them start today. This morning, I checked the calendar page in Grid, List, Tile, and Full Calendar. Now, Custom Days is working!

Summary of my tests when the repeats are set with Custom Days:

#1 – Event did not show up at all on the View page
#2 – April 29, Event did show up
#3 – April 29, later in the day – Event did not show up (no changes made in the Event back end)
#4 – April 30 – Event did show up (date range on Event was changed the previous evening)

In sum, the Event Repeating function is erratic. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

I wonder if anyone else is having this problem?

I’m wondering especially because my site is hosted on a State of Missouri server, and it sometimes interferes with normal functions of WordPress. ??

And just like that – the problem of events not showing up is back.

– Event Repeating box not checked – event did not show up at all – BUT THIS WORKED CORRECTLY FOR THE SECOND TEST YESTERDAY – and now today, without my having changed anything in the Event listing, the event is once again not showing up at all

– Custom Days – event did not show up at all – BUT THIS WORKED CORRECTLY FOR THE SECOND TEST YESTERDAY – and now today, without my having changed anything in the Event listing, the event is once again not showing up at all

Thanks for your reply! Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you. My job is being nuts.

Re “Related link for your issue: https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/setup-date-option-on-shortcodes”
The date option applies to when the events *start.* My issue is with when they *end.* I did test a few variations of the starting date – “today,” “start of current month,” “on a certain date” – but they didn’t affect the outcome of when the event stops showing up in the calendars.

I can definitely show you screenshots. What is the best way to do that?

I have tested the Repeating Events function twice – when I first posted my question here, and yesterday.

BOTH TESTS
On the Date & Time setting, I entered four consecutive dates and checked the “all day” box.
First test – Full Calendar, Grid, List, Tile
Second test – Full Calendar, List

Event Repeating setting:
– Event Repeating box not checked – event did not show up at all – BUT THIS WORKED CORRECTLY FOR THE SECOND TEST
– Custom Days – event did not show up at all – BUT THIS WORKED CORRECTLY FOR THE SECOND TEST
– Daily with “ends repeat on” – event shows up after its ending date
– Advanced, with the event dates marked – event shows up after its ending date

I’m going to start building my website’s calendar page for real today, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the un-checked setting and the Custom Days setting continue to work.

I’m honestly still confused about what your answers about “event link” mean, but it’s great to have confirmation that I have correctly understood how the More Info and Register widgets work!

Thank you!

No problem! And your reply did send me to the video that helped me solve my issue. I appreciate the rapid reply.

I looked at that Add-On, and it provided far more power than I needed, including adding an organizer as a User in the back end.

Fortunately, the video with the Add-On showed me the Organizers section under MEC in the WordPress dashboard. I went there and found it enabled me to do what I’d asked about: 1) edit the name of the organizer, and 2) add details like the phone number and website that I did not include when I created the organizer.

This is where the solution is located:

I’d consider this resolved. ??

Hi – I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. Now that I have installed MEC, I’m not in fact encountering any bugs with my Enfold theme. I was wondering before I installed it if the MEC team was aware of any bugs. Thanks!

I’m confused – I described several things, so what specifically is not standard WordPress functionality? That the outside links can’t be set to open in a new tab/window, or that they’re defaulting into a lightbox, or something else? Just not sure, thanks!

I will try the plugin trick. I can’t permanently switch my theme, though.
