    I have 4 events. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Night for up to a year. It’s the same event for every week. But I do not want to show all of them. I just want to show one of each. When one ends it shows the next week event? How do I do this as it looks like it just duplicated it. Thank You

    Hello,

    Have you tried using this shortcode? It should only list the first of each event in the series.

    [EVENT_LIST show_recurrence=false]

      I think to do what you want, you’ll need to play with the registration start/end dates and tell the Recurring Event Manager to automatically set the registration start/end dates for each occurrence. When you do that, it will base the length of time the registration is open for on what you initially set the registration start/end to be for the first event. So if you want your events to be open for 2 weeks, then you’ll need to have a 2 week window for your first event and let Recurring Event Manager set the reg start/end dates.

      By default, those events will still display on the event list even if they aren’t open yet. To change this you’ll need to dig into the event_list_display.php file. On line 34, a variable is set for events that are not open:

      $status_display_not_open = $status['status'] == 'REGISTRATION_NOT_OPEN' ? ' - ' . $status['display_custom'] : '';

      So wrapped around the event_data <div>, you’d want to add this if statement:

      if ( !$status_display_not_open ) {
           // do normal event stuff
      }

      …which is pretty much the whole rest of that template.
