Repeating events - any tips?
Ning To Jamroom
Hey for those of you wanting to post multiple events that were the same event but on different dates, different locations, possibly some changed details, and they aren't on a regular schedule.... (e.g., our organization is offering basic training on widgets on 8/1/18 at 10:10am, 9/15/18 at 1:00 pm, 10/20/18 at 3:00 am, and 11/15/18 at 8:30 pm). I think I accidentally figured out a shortcut to do that.
I posted an event and indicated that it was recurring every day. I put an end date that corresponded to the number of events I wanted to post (so if I have 4 events, I used a date that was three days later.... e.g., original date 8/1/18, ending on 8/4/18). This created four identical events on 8/1, 8/2, 8/3, & 8/4. Then you can go in and change the dates, locations on each individual event post.
This seemed to work just fine. I had to give it a few minutes to make all the changes after saving each post that I edited. It was a lot quicker than creating a new event every time. If anyone else tries this, let me know if it worked for you.
