Events Manager 7: Comprehensive Features and Upgrade Guideβ
Events Manager 7 marks a significant leap forward in the way recurring events are handled, featuring an optimized and flexible event recurrence system. These enhancements provide a more streamlined and dynamic approach to managing events, whether you're a new user or transitioning from version 6.
Recurring vs. Repeating Eventsβ
In Events Manager 7, a shift in terminology better aligns with the newly introduced functionalities:
-
Recurring Events: Recurring events are multi-day events, which may still be booked separately, but are housed under a single page on your site with a single booking form for selecting the date and time of a booking.
-
Repeating Events: Previously known as recurring events, these allow for multiple instances of an event, each managed independently while remaining part of a series. We may still refer to a repetition of a repeating event as a recurrence.
Both recurring and repeating events now benefit from an intuitive new recurrence pattern UI builder, providing an enhanced user experience when configuring event schedules.
