When you duplicate an entry, it may include past dates you no longer want to display or offer. This article explains how to remove those dates so your duplicated entry only shows upcoming events.


How to remove past dates

You may need to delete past dates from a duplicated entry to ensure only the correct dates appear. This helps keep your entry tidy and organised, especially if you offer courses with a pro-rated discount.

To do this:

  1. Select the duplicated entry from your scheduling list, then Edit entry:

    Scheduling setup with an arrow pointing to the 'Edit Entry' button

  2. Select the Dates & Times tab, then the date in the top left-hand corner of the schedule list:

    Dates & times tab within the entry setup with arrow pointing at a hyperlinked date

  3. A calendar will appear. Select a past date from the calendar (preferably one before the first date in the entry).

    For example:

    Entry setup with dates/times highlighted within the dates/times tab

  4. Select individual dates from the schedule list then Remove this date/time from the schedule:

    Entry setup with arrow pointing at the 'Remove this date/time from the schedule' option within the Dates & Times tab

    Entry setup with arrow pointing at the 'Remove' button within the 'Dates & Times' tab

Alternatively, you can edit the entire recurring schedule and remove all the dates at once. To do this:

  1. Select Edit the recurring schedule as a whole.

    Entry setup with arrow pointing at the 'Edit this recurring schedule as a whole' option within the 'Dates & Times' tab.

  2. Select Remove highlighted date/times:

    Entry setup with arrow pointing at the 'Remove highlighted date/times' option within the 'Dates & Times' tab

πŸ’‘ Selecting this option will delete all of the dates/times highlighted.

Once you have removed the past dates, select Save or Save & Exit in the top right-hand corner.


How to add in past dates that were accidentally deleted

To find removed past dates, select the entry from your scheduling list, then Edit entry:

Scheduling setup with an arrow pointing to the 'Edit Entry' button

Select the Dates & Times tab, then the pencil and paper πŸ“ icon to the right of the schedule:

Scroll down to the Excluded dates section:

To add them back into your schedule:

  1. Select the date from the list.

  2. A small window will open for you to confirm the reinstatement of the selected date:

    Confirmation message asking users to confirm whether they'd like to re-add a date/time back to their schedule.

  3. Select OK to add it back into your schedule.
