RecurKit

Repeating events for the free The Events Calendar

Weekly repeating events for the free The Events Calendar: create the event once and RecurKit adds the rest of the series.

Install from WordPress.orgFree

Events > Series in WordPress: a Morning yoga series repeating weekly on Tuesday and Thursday, 12 events, with its next date and buttons to edit or delete it.

Create the event once

Tick Repeat this event in the event editor, pick the weekdays and when the series ends. When you publish, RecurKit creates up to 52 occurrences, each a normal event with the same times, venue, organizers, categories, tags and image.

RecurKit's Repeat box in the event editor: Repeat this event is ticked, Friday is picked, and the series ends on 26 March 2027.

Change later dates in one go

Under Events > Series, change the title, times, venue or description of one occurrence and every later one. Edit a single date in the normal editor, or delete the whole series.

No lock-in

Occurrences are ordinary events made through The Events Calendar's own functions. They show in every calendar view and stay as plain events if you remove RecurKit, unless you choose to delete them.

Tested on real WordPress

RecurKit 0.1.0 passes 92 unit tests and 41 end-to-end checks in WordPress Playground on WordPress 7.1.4 with the free The Events Calendar 6.18.3.1. The checks create a series, copy the times, venue, organizer, categories, tags, image, content, status, password, author and time zone to every occurrence, edit later dates while earlier ones stay as they were, check that a block-editor save adds no extra events, delete a series and uninstall cleanly.

Questions

Is RecurKit made by The Events Calendar?

No. RecurKit is an independent plugin by Bright Labs that works with the free The Events Calendar. It is not made by or connected to its developers.

What happens to my events if I remove RecurKit?

You choose under Events > Series: keep the generated events as ordinary events (the default) or delete them. The events you created yourself always stay.

Does it change The Events Calendar's database tables?

No. Every occurrence is created, edited and deleted through The Events Calendar's own functions.

Is it on WordPress.org?

Yes. RecurKit has been listed on WordPress.org since 11 November 2026. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New Plugin and search for RecurKit. New plugins can take up to 72 hours to show in that search, so if it isn't there yet, install it from its page: RecurKit on WordPress.org
