Recurring events don't update automatically

Hi,

Is the event shortcode you are using under “Upcoming Events”? If so, it looks up to date to me. (Though maybe you’ve just updated the event…). First I’d double check that you are specifying only future events:

[eo_events event_start_after="now"]

If that still doesn’t work, it could be because the page is being cached (If you’re not currently seeing the up-coming events as starting from 5th, then this it is almost certainly a cache issue).

Yeah I manually updated the dates.

Here’s what I currently had:

[eo_events]%event_title% on %start{M j, Y}% at %start{g:i:a}% [/eo_events]

Just changed it to this:
[eo_events event_start_after=”now”]%event_title% on %start{M j, Y}% at %start{g:i:a}% [/eo_events]

Will that cause the most upcoming recurring dates to auto-update?

Thanks for the quick reply!

It should do. The only reason for it not to work is if the page is cached.

I’ll find out the truth on April 9. Thank you!

Now I’m having the opposite issue of every single date showing up until the set date.

e.g. Thursday reoccuring event “until May 1, 2014” ends up showing all three dates on the calendar.

I just need to show the most recent upcoming, not every single instance.

You can use the group_events_by="series" attribute to group recurring dates together. Only the “first” date is shown (“first” in the sense of the first date matching the query, so when showing only future events, it’ll show the next date).

would i use group_events_by=”series” in addtion to the last code you had showed me?

What would it look like entirely?

e.g.
[eo_events event_start_after=”now” group_events_by=”series”]%event_title% on %start{M j, Y}% at %start{g:i:a}% [/eo_events]

Yes, that’s correct.

Hmm…I’m not having any luck. If there is no “until” in reoccurences or when I put a random future future date, it starts to show every single occurence in the list.

Oh! It was a setting within the event page! Thank you!
