A new and improved system called “Elevated Recurring Event Management”

Recurring events are created and managed significantly better with the Events Calendar Pro 6.0.

This release focuses on simplifying the creation and management of recurring events, a key feature of the plugin.

The new version gives you greater control over the changes you wish to make by allowing you to edit a recurring event and save the changes for just that particular event, all examples of the recurring event, or simply upcoming examples of the event.

Furthermore, it is now simpler to scan and change recurring events because they are only listed once in the WordPress Dashboard.

However, you may still use the Events Manager to view each event displayed separately if you like.

Overall, this release makes managing recurring events a lot more manageable and user-friendly.

“Introducing the “Series” Feature: Grouping and Organizing Events Made Simple”

A powerful new tool for grouping, organizing, and managing events is called “Series,” which is included in the Events Calendar Pro 6.0 update.

A brand-new post type called a series allows for total customization and can include any one-time or recurring events.

The ability to change individual instances of recurring events and have them take place in other locations while keeping their connection to the associated Series offers greater flexibility.

In addition, even events that aren’t recurring events can be added in any combination to a Series.

Additionally, each Series has a landing page where users may view all related events in one destination.

From the admin’s point of view, several featured photos can be utilized for each event in the series, enabling users to view a lovely visual landing page of connected events.

Overall, Series is a strong new feature that improves the effectiveness and usability of event management.

Events like blood drives that happen at various locations can be added to a series and shown in an ordered manner.

You may quickly switch between the several calendar views offered by The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro to choose the one that best displays the events in a series.

Users may quickly locate the closest location by using the Map view, which allows you to build a visual display of where each event in a series will occur.

The event management process is simplified and made more effective by this feature.

“The New Duplicate Event Tool: Efficient Event Cloning”

The Duplicate Event tool, which makes it simple to duplicate events, has been added to the Events Calendar Pro 6.0 in response to several user requests.

This new functionality removes the effort associated with making duplicates of events, which many users have requested.

You may now quickly duplicate an event by using the Duplicate button on the Edit Event single event page or the Events list in the WordPress Dashboard.

By doing this, you can edit the event as needed without having to start from scratch and publish it as is.

Event organizers and administrators will undoubtedly benefit from this new tool, which will increase the effectiveness of event management.
