Important Note

For Live Calendar Types, multi-day events are created in the original source, for example, in Google Calendar. Once updated, changes will be reflected wherever your calendars are connected in Composer Calendar elements.

View your recurring event on your calendar page

Once you have configured your recurring calendar, you can now view this multi-day event on a live calendar page to see how it will display and appear to your site visitors. Change the format of your calendar by going to the Calendar Element and adjusting the format. View below to see how each would display.
