Hi. Not sure if this is with EO or the Duplicate Post plugin. Here’s the scenario:
I clone a recurring event (let’s say 9 AM – 5 PM, Monday to Thursday for a particular week).
I change the name of the new cloned event and publish.
The new cloned event does not appear in my Events list.The workaround I’ve found is this: modify the time of the cloned recurring event (e.g., from 9 AM to 10 AM) and update. Then the recurring event appears. (Then I go back and revert the time change and update again.)

The event stores a ‘schedule summary’ in the meta-data, when updating the event, if that summary hasn’t changed, it doesn’t bother going through deleting the occurrences and recreating the same ones again.
I suspect the cloned event thinks it’s “up to date” when it’s not. I shall look into this as it’s possible to ‘force’ the update which would be all that is required.

Thank you.
On a related note, I think, is this scenario:
I create a recurring event with custom dates (e.g., Tues., Wed. and Thursday, 6PM – 8PM over three weeks, Feb. 10 – 26).
I clone the event.
I modify the new clone with new dates and set a daily reoccurence (Mon – Fri, 9 AM – 1 PM, Feb. 16 – 20) and publish.
This new event has the new dates/times but it also has the custom dates from the first event. When I look at “Show Dates” I see both sets of dates highlighted.
Hi Brian,
That would be expected – daily events can have custom occurrences added/removed, and those added dates have just been inherited from the original event.
Regarding the inital issue, I committed a fix today to the development branch – this means the next update of Event Organiser (whatever version it is) will have that fix in it (see GitHub issue for details)
Thanks. I didn’t realize Daily and Custom dates could coincide together.
