Display single recurring events

    Hi,
    I’m looking to use Eventon for a client who runs training courses. I already have pages set up for each course and I want to create a corresponding Eventon event to go on each page. So, I have 2 questions:
    1: As the courses are random dates, is there a way to set up a recurrence that isn’t based on weekly/monthly timelines instead of creating completely new events?
    2: Do I need an addon to display all occurrence’s of a single event? I’ve tried shortcodes such as [add_single_eventon id=”585″] and [add_eventon id=”585″] but the first just leads to a 404 page and the second includes other events.
    Any input would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    1. You can use https://docs.myeventon.com/documentations/setting-up-repeating-events/ > Custom Repeats to add repeating manually.
    2. Could you try refreshing your Permalinks by going to wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks > Save?

    Hi Ashan,

    Apologies for the delayed response, I’ve been away.

    Refreshing the permalinks helped but the issue I have is that I’m still having an issue with the shortcode output on the page. I’ve set up an event (ID 585) which has an initial course date and 2 repeats set up.

    I first used shortcode [add_single_eventon id=”585″] but this only displayed the first occurence.

    I then tried shortcode [add_eventon id=”585″] which displayed all occurences within the month but also another test event that was also created seperately.

    Could you please advise the correct shortcode to display only event 585 on the page? Also, is it possible to show a list for, say, the next 3 months rather than only a single month at a time?

    Many thanks,

    Gareth.

    Hello,
    It seems that you can use Event Type: https://docs.myeventon.com/documentations/confused-event-type-categories/

    Use Event Lists shortcode with an added event type assigned to an event to only show that event (+ all of it’s repeats).

    Hi,
    I can see the event type will be useful moving forward but I’m still struggling to just display only the occurences of a single event via a shortcode so that only the event I want to display will appear on the individual course page.
    I have an event (ID 585) set up with repeat dates for the future but I have tried codes such as:
    [add_eventon id=”585″ repeat_interval=”4″]
    [add_eventon id=”585″]
    However, these are still displaying another test event (ID 593) that has also been set up.
    Could you please advise the correct shortcode I need to just display the occurences of ID 585 only?
    Many thanks,
    Gareth.

    Could you send us a link to the page with the issue?

    Sure. The link is:
    https://staging.babtraining.org.uk/first-aid/qa-level-3-award-in-first-aid-at-work-annual-refresher-course-rqf/

    It currently has 2 shortcodes entered for event id 585 which are:

    [add_eventon id=”585″ repeat_interval=”4″]

    [add_eventon event_type_1=’22’]

    The first aid course is ID 585 and is set as the first event type with an ID of 22. The test course does not have an event type set.

    id only works with add_single_eventon. You cannot use it with add_eventon.
    If you want to filter events in add_eventon, please use Event Type.
