A major advantage of Cevento is the ability to create events based on a defined Schedule. A Recurring Event automatically generates individual events according to the Schedule you set and manages them globally. An event managed by a Recurring Event is called a Repeated Event.<\/p>\n

Example use case<\/h3>\n

An example would be a dance class that takes place every Tuesday. The Recurring Event “Dance Class” manages the individual “Dance Class Sessions.” The number of “Dance Class Sessions” created depends on the Schedule you define. If your Schedule covers 4 weeks, then 4 “Dance Class Sessions” will automatically be created and managed by the “Dance Class” event.<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h2>\n

Before creating a new Recurring Event, you should already be familiar with creating a single event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Add a new Recurring Event<\/h2>\n

To create a new Recurring Event, navigate in the WordPress dashboard to Cevento<\/span> → Recurring Events<\/span>. There, click the button Add new Recurring Event<\/span>. After clicking the button, you’ll land in the event editor. On the left, you’ll see an input field for the title and below it tabs where you can configure the event settings (metadata). On the right, you’ll see the metaboxes from Cevento and WordPress page properties. <\/p>\n

\"Menu<\/a><\/div>\n

Enter a title<\/h2>\n

Enter the desired title of the event in the input field Enter title here<\/span> and click Save Draft<\/span> in the Publish metabox. Each automatically generated Repeated Event will carry this title. <\/p>\n

\"Enter<\/a><\/div>\n

Set basic event settings<\/h2>\n

The last three tabs (General, Bookings, E-Mails) work exactly the same as in the settings of a single event. Therefore, only the first tab Schedule<\/span> is explained here, while for the others you can refer to the document on creating single events<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Schedule<\/h2>\n

In this tab, you can create the Schedule<\/span>. Based on it, individual Repeated Events will be automatically generated by Cevento. <\/p>\n

\"“Schedule”<\/a><\/div>\n

Interval<\/h3>\n

The option selected in this dropdown defines a recurrence for the Schedule. Your event can repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. Default: Daily.<\/p>\n

Start Date<\/h3>\n

The date entered here defines the start of your Schedule. From this date onward, events will be generated according to the Schedule.<\/p>\n

End Date<\/h3>\n

The date entered here defines the end of your Schedule. Events will be generated up to and including this date according to the Schedule.<\/p>\n

Timeslots<\/h3>\n

The field for timeslots changes depending on the option you selected in Interval. The following three variations are possible.<\/p>\n

Daily Timeslots<\/h4>\n

If your recurrence is Daily<\/span>, you can define one or more recurring timeslots for the Schedule. Click the button Add Timeslot<\/span> and fill in the following fields. <\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a><\/div>\n
Full Day<\/h5>\n

Enable this switch if your event lasts all day. The two following time input fields will then be hidden.<\/p>\n

Start Time<\/h5>\n

The time entered here defines the start of the daily timeslot.<\/p>\n

End Time<\/h5>\n

The time entered here defines the end of the daily timeslot. You can leave it empty if your event should have no defined end (open-end event).<\/p>\n

Weekly Timeslots<\/h4>\n

If your recurrence is Weekly<\/span>, you can define one or more weekly recurring timeslots for the Schedule. Click the button Add Timeslot<\/span> and fill in the following fields. <\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a><\/div>\n
Weekdays<\/h5>\n

Select one or more Weekdays<\/span> for the timeslot during which your event will take place.<\/p>\n

Full Day<\/h5>\n

Enable this switch if your event should last all day on all selected weekdays. The two following time input fields will then be hidden.<\/p>\n

Start Time<\/h5>\n

The time entered here defines the start of the weekly timeslot.<\/p>\n

End Time<\/h5>\n

The time entered here defines the end of the weekly timeslot. You can leave it empty if your event should have no defined end (open-end event).<\/p>\n

Monthly Timeslots<\/h4>\n

If your recurrence is Monthly<\/span>, you can define one or more monthly recurring timeslots based on week and weekday. Click the button Add Timeslot<\/span> and fill in the following fields. <\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a><\/div>\n
Week of the Month<\/h5>\n

Select one or more weeks of the month for which the timeslot should apply.<\/p>\n

Weekdays<\/h5>\n

Select one or more weekdays for the timeslot during which your event will take place in the selected weeks of each month.<\/p>\n

Full Day<\/h5>\n

Enable this switch if your event should last all day on all selected weeks and weekdays. The two following time input fields will then be hidden.<\/p>\n

Start Time<\/h5>\n

The time entered here defines the start of the monthly timeslot.<\/p>\n

End Time<\/h5>\n

The time entered here defines the end of the monthly timeslot. You can leave it empty if your event should have no defined end (open-end event).<\/p>\n

Excluded Dates<\/h3>\n

Here you can define dates that should be excluded from the Schedule. Click the button Add Date<\/span> and select the date to exclude. <\/p>\n

\"Exclude<\/a><\/div>\n

An example could be a public holiday or a day when you are not available to hold the event. Dates of detached single events (repeated events)<\/a> are automatically excluded. <\/p>\n

Add optional information and save the event<\/h2>\n

How to add optional information (categories, featured image, etc.), and how to save and publish the event, can be found in the document about single events<\/a>.<\/p>\n
