If your group meets on a regular schedule (every Thursday, the first Saturday of the month, every other week), Recurring Series lets you set that cadence once and let WR-Games generate each individual event automatically. Rather than duplicating events by hand, you define the pattern and publish a series that takes care of itself.

​
What a recurring series is

A recurring series is a repeating event schedule that produces individual event pages for each occurrence. Every occurrence is a fully independent event: it has its own event page, its own RSVP list, and its own attendees. Members can RSVP to individual occurrences without committing to the whole series. The series itself has a landing page that displays all upcoming occurrences at a glance so members can plan ahead.
Recurring series are available on the Standard and Pro plans. You can change your group’s plan in Group Settings → Subscription.

​
Creating a recurring series

1

Start a new event

From your group dashboard, click Create Event and choose your event type: Open Game Night, Custom Event, or Game Session.
2

Enable Recurring and choose a frequency

In the schedule step, toggle Recurring to on. Select how often the event repeats: weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
3

Set an end date or occurrence count

Choose when the series should stop by either picking an end date or specifying the total number of occurrences you want to generate.
4

Review the generated schedule

WR-Games previews every occurrence date based on your settings. Scan the list and confirm the dates look right before you publish.
5

Publish the series

Click Publish Series. WR-Games creates individual event pages for each occurrence and makes your series landing page live.

​
Editing a series

When you change an occurrence (the description, the time, the venue), WR-Games asks how far the change should reach:
  • This event only: just the date you’re on. Every other occurrence stays put.
  • This and all following: the date you’re on and every occurrence after it.
  • All upcoming events in the series: every occurrence still to come.
Use This event only for one-off adjustments, like a holiday venue change, so the rest of the series isn’t disturbed. The two wider scopes reach every occurrence they cover, including any you’d previously moved or edited on their own.

​
Changing how often a series repeats

You can change the pattern of a series that’s already running: every week to every other week, Thursdays to Tuesdays, weekly to monthly. All of those work the same way. Cadence changes need one of the wider scopes: This and all following or All upcoming events in the series. This event only can move a single date, but it can’t change the pattern. The two wider scopes re-space the same way; they just start from different places, one from the occurrence you’re editing and one from the earliest occurrence still to come. That starting occurrence keeps its date if the date already fits the new pattern. If it doesn’t fit, it moves forward to the first date that does. Everything after it re-spaces from there, and a series never moves earlier than it already was.
Attendees aren’t told the dates moved. Nothing is cancelled, so no cancellation goes out, and people see a new date the next time they open the event. If they’ve already RSVPed, telling them is on you.
One message does go out on its own: when an occurrence shifts by three days or more, its usual 24-hour reminder is sent again against the new date. That’s a reminder, not a notice that anything changed.

​
If the setting already says what you want

Dates look wrong, and the cadence setting already reads what you wanted? Switch it to something else, save, then switch it back and save again. That second save re-spaces everything. The round trip is needed because the reschedule only runs when the setting actually changes. Picking the value that’s already stored isn’t a change, so nothing moves, and nothing tells you nothing moved.

​
If the series has an end date

If the new spacing would push occurrences past the date the series is set to end, the save is refused and you’ll see This cadence doesn’t fit before the series end date. Extend the end date or choose a shorter gap. Nothing gets dropped or cancelled to make it fit. Do one of those two things and save again.

​
How many upcoming events you see

A series keeps around six upcoming events on the board at a time, whichever cadence it runs on. It doesn’t add a new one every time one passes. It waits until about four are left, then tops back up to six. A count that moves on its own isn’t a fault. If you counted six a while back and four today, the next top-up hasn’t run yet. The exception is a series you set to end after a specific number of events. Those are all created up front, so you see the whole run rather than a rolling six.

​
Cancelling occurrences

You can cancel individual dates or shut down the entire series from any occurrence page or the series landing page:

Cancel a Single Date

Cancel one occurrence when you need to skip a specific week. Attendees who RSVPd to that date are notified automatically.

Cancel All Remaining Dates

End the series early by cancelling all upcoming occurrences at once. WR-Games notifies every affected attendee in a single action, and the message tells them the whole series has ended rather than naming one date.

​
The series landing page

Every recurring series has a dedicated landing page that lists all upcoming occurrences in chronological order. Members can browse future dates from one place and RSVP to whichever occurrences work for their schedule. Share the series landing page link with your community to make it easy for members to stay plugged in to your regular game nights.
Use Recurring Series for weekly or monthly game nights instead of duplicating events manually: edits you apply to future occurrences propagate forward automatically, saving you significant administrative time.
