Why Altru Doesn’t Show All Dates When Rescheduling Tickets

You set up a scheduled program with a run of dated events, put it on your ticketing web form, and it works fine for the first week. Then the first event date passes, and the form still opens on that day, or on some other date that’s no longer bookable. Visitors see an empty or
Selling Tickets for a Past Program Date in Altru: What Works
The workshop ran last Saturday. Half the participants paid at the door, a few never paid at all, and now finance wants every attendee recorded against the right program date.
