How to edit recurring events

[Anonymous]

When editing an existing recurring event, how do I get that event’s admin screen to retain the recurring data (e.g. “Frequency”)? I currently have to re-enter all recurrence data.

Here’s what happens.

Go to Events > Edit

A list of all events is shown on this admin page.

Click “Reschedule” in the right-most column for an event.

* Choose an event occurring the 3rd Saturday of every month.

Any recurring event will do.

* The admin screen for that recurring event is shown (with the message “WARNING: This is a recurrence.”)

In the “Recurrence” area

* The recurrence tick-box is checked

* The “Frequency” is “Daily”

* The text box is blank between “Every” and “day”

* There are no other fields in which to enter data

I have to go back and put in the recurrence data:

* Change the “Frequency” to “Monthly”

* Enter “1” in the text box between “Every” and “month”

* Change “Every” to “third” and “Sat” for the “Day of the month”

Click the “Update” button.

How do I edit a recurring event without having to re-enter the data?

Sorry, but I can’t reproduce this. The recurrence info is correctly retained when I click the reschedule link.

Which EME version and which wp version are you using?

And if both are up-to-date, can I have a demo of this behavior?

I found the problem. Sorry to take your time.

Apparently, after installing a new version of EME, the database got corrupted. The “xxxx_eme_events” table still had four columns for recurrence data (all the values were ‘NULL’) and there was no data in the “xxxx_eme_recurrence” table. This must have occurred during the transition from the old “Events Manager Extended” to “Events Made Easy” (at least a year ago?), or I wasn’t paying attention when massaging the database several months ago and got confused between which table structure applied to which program.

Thanks again for your rapid response and extraordinary support.
