  Our site has sets of events on successive days which for some reason were set up to be on a different page for each time. So the only way to link to the set of performances is to link to the first performance—& when that performance happens, every marketing link to the entire event series dies unless the URL is redirected by hand in real time. This is driving me mad.

  Is there a way I can create a link that will default to the first performance in a set that hasn’t happen yet? (So the link at /eventA links to Friday until Friday night, then automatically skips Friday & links to Saturday instead.)

  I’m about to build dozens of events in the next few weeks so if there’s a way to implement this it will save *scores* of logins at inconvenient hours over the next year.

  Why making it yourself so difficult. You find a lot of calendar plugins that do the job at https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/calendar/. Personally I use The Events Calendar – https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/
