Recurring event start date

    Hi

    Example: Course starting on 24/10/2021 at 11:00-11:55 repeating every Sunday for 6 weeks.
    I want to be able to show each instance on a calendar, so I’ve set it up as a recurring event. But as it’s a course, people can only attend the sessions if they’ve subscribed to the whole course. In the list of upcoming events I’ve managed to get it to show just one instance:

    [events_list recurrences=”1″ groupby=”recurrence_id” orderby=”event_start_date,event_start_time” category=”puppy”]
#_EVENTLINK #_RECURRINGPATTERN at #_EVENTTIMES in #_ATT{class_location}
[/events_list]

    I’d like to exclude recurrences from upcoming events if the course has already started, so I need something saying ‘where recurrence start date (not the individual event dates) is in the future’.

    I thought I had a solution by adding event_start_after="now" but that’s picking up the event start date, not the start of the recurring event.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Did you mean that it’s getting the single recurrence event start date and not the start date of the recurring template under Events > Recurring Event?

    Yes, that’s correct. Ideally I’d like the date that the ‘course’ started, not the date of each ‘session’ in the ‘course’.

    Thanks.
