WOW! How do you not get it after repeating myself over and over again, pardon the pun. If it is a repeating event hide_mult_occur to me would mean that the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, … occurrences would be hidden, but that the FIRST occurrence would show up. In this case NO OCCURRENCES show up. Which means the option should really be called hide_repeat_events_completely_unless_in_current_month_and_after_current_date.

Sorry but it is a bit disappointing that after all the hoops I have jumped through to try and explain a very simple problem, that you just don’t seem to get it. The example is very clear, the problem seems obvious.

Sorry for being blunt, but I can’t think of any other way to explain it.

Both events are identical aside from the start/end dates.

Here is the link to the sample website illustrating the problem.

Regardless of your well polished marketing speech, it was still a bad enough experience that I would not recommend using this plugin.

No I don’t at this time but am hoping have it up soon, (1-2 weeks). I’ll send you a link then with the exact shortcode.

Also your repeating events need to start in the current month, in this case December. The current date has to be after the first repeating event. Because we are dangerously close to the end of December, It will be harder to recreate the problem.

Event 1 – Strarts on 1st of current month, repeats monthly

Event 2 – Starts on last day of current month, repeats monthly

Current date falls between 1st of the month and last of the month. If the current date is the 1st of the month everything works, after the first of the month, the “Event 1” will not show up.

The issue is that only one occurrence of each event is supposed to show. Or at least that is what I am trying to achieve. In your example all occurrences of the event are showing. Do you have show_repeats=”no” set?

They are two separate events both of which repeat every month.

Sorry I can not send you a link at this time. The site is being developed on a local server. The issue is easy to reproduce:

Create two events that repeat every month one for the beginning of the month, one for the end of the month. Using the shortcode above, the event at the end of the month will show up once, but the one from the beginning of the month won’t show up at all. I’m trying to get it to show the end of month event once, followed by the beginning of month event once, (under the next months heading).

I tried your suggestion but then the repeating events show for every month. I only want the first occurrence of a repeating event to show. Problem is if the event that repeats has already happened in the current month it won’t display because of event_past_future=”future” but it also won’t show on the following month because show_repeats=”no”. If I turn on show_repeats=”yes” then They show up for every month.

Other plugins work with the API, but not this one. So API is OK, Calendar is OK. Selecting “don’t restrict key” had no effect in my case.

The setup instructions seem to be extremely out of date. None of the pages or options described show up. The new Google API setup is extremely confusing. Or am I missing something?
Updated instructions for creating an API with links to the pages etc would be very helpful.

That took care of the problem. Thanks for all your help.

So from your images the extra paragraph is not there. It appears to be added when you use the “EventOn” block in Gutenberg. I am using the Kadence theme.

If I add the Event list as a shortcode it is fine, of course then you can not use the EventOn shortcode editor to modify the list.

Hopefully the image below will come through OK,(first attempt at posting an image).

I can’t send a link as it is on my local computer. The short code is:

[add_eventon_list number_of_months="12" hide_mult_occur="no" hide_empty_months="yes" accord="yes" tiles="no" hide_so="yes" exp_so="no"]

As I said there is nothing above the first event, (ie. no filters or search options, no decorations of any kind).
