 * I have an event that I created that shows for every week. I need to cancel the
   event for one week only. I could not see how to do this so I tried to amend the
   existing event so it appeared only through the week preceeding the cancelled 
   date and then to create a separate event for the cancelled week and finally recreated
   the original starting the following week. Well as confusing as this seems, nothing
   in my plan worked. I even tried to deleted the event entirely and no matter what
   I do the event continues to appear in the calendar. How do I:
 * 1. modify an existing ongoing event for only one week of the time?
 * 2. delete an event from the calendar
 * 3. stop an event at a specific date.
 * Please answer all 3 questions. Thanks
 * Sue

 * You can use the “Hide” event feature to disable an event category or all categories
   on a specific day. I admit the documentation for this feature needs to be improved.
 * Basically if you want to omit August 31, then create a new event for August 1
   and set “Hide events” to true.
 * Deleting an event will remove it form the calendar immediately. If you are not
   seeing this happen, I suspect you have a caching plugin that is loading an older
   copy of the page.
 * There is no way to stop at a specific date, but you can enter a number of repeats
   for a recurring event.
