You can set weekly classes by creating a recurring Event, or a recurring Service.
It just depends what is more convenient for you; having a recurring event with one fixed time, or having a recurring service with multiple available times for the customer to choose from.
Thanks Ivana, that's what I thought. I'm using the Events.
Some questions:
1. I have yoga classes that are every week. They are recurring. When I add the code to the WP page, though, only one class comes up. Is there a way to show two classes?
2. Is there a way to edit how much is shown on the webpage when I use the shortcode? Is there a way to delete the space between events when I have separate events?
3. Why do the event numbers keep changing? Every time I change something, the other events change numbers which then requires me to go back and change them on the webpage. That is a giant pain in the butt!
We're going through the site piece by piece, so there may be more questions.
1. I have yoga classes that are every week. They are recurring. When I add the code to the WP page, though, only one class comes up. Is there a way to show two classes? Are you using a specific shortcode like [ameliabooking service=1]? If so you would need one of those for each class so that they both show. Or if same employee is working on both you can use [ameliabooking employee=1]
2. Is there a way to edit how much is shown on the webpage when I use the shortcode? Is there a way to delete the space between events when I have separate events? Where you have 2 shortcodes you can change the layout on the page editor to make a bigger gap - I just hit enter to make more space between 2 shortcodes. Do you have a separate shortcode for each event?
3. Why do the event numbers keep changing? Every time I change something, the other events change numbers which then requires me to go back and change them on the webpage. That is a giant pain in the butt! Are you referring to ID of the event? I'm familiar with this as this came up the other day and I am currently on the line with a developer who is checking it for me so I will let you know

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand how the ID of the events is changing for you. I tried replicating this issue, but no matter what I change (name of the event, date, time, recurrence options, staff, tags) the ID of the event remains the same.
Can you please record your screen and send me that recording, so I can see what's going on, and how I can replicate it on my end?
Yet when I posted the code in the website the last time, it was listed at ID-5.
I attached the current screen shots for you to see. I haven't changed anything in the coding or in the classes recently.
I asked my web person about this, and she said this:
"I think that you have 2 options. You can edit the end time of the existing event and the existing ID will still work on the page, or you can add a “tag” to events when you create them so that you can use the tag in the shortcode and not have to update that on the page every time. See the list below: (invoiced)
Here are the shortcodes for adding the Events list booking form:
[ameliaevents] or [amelia events type=list] if you want to show a list of all your events,
[ameliaevents tag='name'] if you want to show just the events that belong to the same tag defined during the creation of events, where “name” will be replaced with the tag name,
[ameliaevents event=1] if you want to show only the event with ID 1 without its recurring events,
[ameliaevents event=1 recurring=1] if you want to show the event with ID 1 with all his recurring events."
I have a weekly class, for example, on Wednesday evenings. It meets every week unless something comes up. I want people to be able to book the classes on my website and pay for them there in Amelia.
Does this make sense? Am I explaining it enough? Let me know if there's more I can tell you.
Thank you for the explanation Paul, but I still don't understand how you were able to change the ID of the event.
Either way, you can include a tag, as mentioned by your web person, and change the shortcode from [ameliaevents event=5] to [ameliaevents tag='yourTag'], and it will work regardless of the ID of the event.
I'd still like to see how the ID of the event changes for you, so if you could create a short video showing me that, it'd be great.
This is a recurring event, and each recurring event has a different ID. So, the ID of the event is not being changed, but it's actually an ID of a recurring event.
Look at it this way - if you're a salesman, and you're organizing promotions for your product, you'll be doing the exact same thing (promoting your product) on different days. It could be every Monday at 4 PM. Even though this is a recurring event for you, every recurrence is registered as a separate event.
To resolve this, you need to edit the page and apply this shortcode:
[ameliaevents event=1 recurring=1]
This shortcode will display the event with the ID: 1, and all its recurrences, regardless of their IDs.
I need to set up weekly classes in Amelia.
I currently have them set up as recurring events, but this seems a little clunky.
Is there another way of setting up classes? What details should I make sure I add to the settings?
I looked in your help database for classes, but didn't see anything. And the "events" listing didn't specify what I should use them for.
Thank you!

Hi Ivana, I realized I hadn't responded yet.
Thank you for your responses. I have everything fixed except for the last one. My developer added a recurring + 1 code. Will that fix the issue?
Hi Paul
Let me forward this to our Level 2 they will be able to assist you better in this matter.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Hello Paul

Hello Aleksandar, and thank you for your help.
In my events Simple Flow Yoga is listed as ID-6
Yet when I posted the code in the website the last time, it was listed at ID-5.
I attached the current screen shots for you to see. I haven't changed anything in the coding or in the classes recently.
I asked my web person about this, and she said this:
"I think that you have 2 options. You can edit the end time of the existing event and the existing ID will still work on the page, or you can add a “tag” to events when you create them so that you can use the tag in the shortcode and not have to update that on the page every time.

I hope the attachments are clear to explain what is happening.
On my website, Recovery Yoga was listed as Event=54
When I go to the next week, Recovery Yoga is 55
So now, when the website is open, there are no events listed because the event number is wrong.
My web person said we should use tags, but I don't know how to do that and why that needs to happen?
Oh, OK Paul I see what's going on here.
This is a recurring event, and each recurring event has a different ID. So, the ID of the event is not being changed, but it's actually an ID of a recurring event.
