Allowing bookings after the event start time

    I want to allow people to book an event while it is running. i.e. after the start time.

    For context, I am running an online event. The Zoom links are only available to those who have booked a place so we can ensure events aren’t over-subscribed. The events run for a couple of hours. Not all participants have booked in advance. I have set the ticket available until time to the end of the event, but I am finding that the bookings are closing at the start of the event.

    Am I missing something? Is this possible?

    Thanks.

    Further to this, I think the issue may be that for some reason the event needs to be saved twice for the settings to properly be set.

    I am using v5.12.1 for this project so this may be addressed in later versions. (My site was well developed before very 6 came out, is for a short term event, and the template change caused too many issues for us to upgrade.)

    I have experimented and found that once an rsvp time is set, changes to it have to be saved twice in order to fully take effect. Once this happens, it appears it’s possible to set an RSVP time after the event start, and bookings remain open. I’ve noticed a similar thing happens when adding an event url – the event needs to be saved twice before the zoom link will appear in the admin listing.
