Also if I change the date from say Mon to tues it never shows up again. If I delete it and make a new one it remembers what day I set it for wand will not show up. How do you erase the memory storage or cashe.
Installed your program on a new site that never had a calender program installed and it work perfect. The site above mentioned has had 18 calenders installed and removed because the client did not like them. Not I had your calendar and one other calendar called All-in-One Event Calendar by Timely, because it is has a portfolio view. I tried disabling the timely calender but still having problem placing repeatable events on Saturday. I can put a single, but no repeats. Hopes this help,if not I must look fa another one.
Thanks your program is very easy to use, but hard to customize.
Having multiple calendar plugins shouldn’t create these issues unless they use the same custom post type or URI parameter names. Which they probably wouldn’t be but if you wanted to check EveryCal uses types and params starting with ‘ecp1’.
Now onto specific issues:
I’ve only done basic testing on changing the initial date of a repeating event. It works in simple cases however there are plenty of edge cases where it might not work. I expected repeating events would not be changed in this way (mainly because the data shouldn’t need to change). Maybe try changing the date of a one off event – if that works then try to add repeats to that event.
The repeats cache can’t be erased from the WP admin; this is a feature I’m planning to add in the future. You could do it using your database administration tool though: look at the ecp1_repeats table.
I can’t explain why repeats would work on one day but not on another day. Theoretically you should be able to have many repeating events every day of the week. There is an upper bound from the PHP execution time though which would make this impractical for a large number of concurrently repeating events. I have a few ideas though:
a) It might be related to Saturday being the 1st of March. The front end calendar requests all events in the range it needs which somehow might exclude the 1st of March – however this shouldn’t be the case for 2014 where the week starts Monday 24th February.
b) What are you using as the event title, description, etc? Are you using any non-ASCII characters? If you are try removing them as these might cause the event to be dropped if the characters can’t be encoded.
I tried adding a new event with a title I had never used and no repeats for Sat 1st of March and it showed up. Then I changed it to every sat til 4/16/14 and that worked. But when I changed the title from test to Hungarian Goulash which I had used originally it word not show up. Not for one day or repeats. It had to do with it remembering what I titled before. Any more ideas?
Thanks for your help Andrew
It is working. I tried entering all data from a new event and it worked. Before I was cloning the data from an event that was working saving me time but the plugin Clone & Replace was not adding the repeats properly. Sorry for causing and issue that I thought was with your program and it was not. Your program works great.
Is there any way to change the view from a calender to a portfolio or poster-board type look? And last question. Can I add multiple calendars to one site? for example lunch page and a separate dinner page
Thanks again cannot wait to see what you come up with.
Portfolio: You can use the “list” view. The shortcode for this displayed in the calendar post editor page. This is simply a list of events within a certain time range so it might not be what you want.
Multiple calendars: Yes definitely possible! Create a second calendar post (Admin Menu -> Events -> Calendars -> Add New) and either: a) link directly to the post page; or b) use the shortcode to embed it in a normal WP page.
Events can appear on any number of calendars.
You can also mark one calendar as a – sort of – global calendar which will include all events marked as “Feature Events”.
