Nice plugin to complete your post with basic information. Would be nice if the “when” tab could have also a begin and end date and time…
Can’t believe there are no reviews for this plugin. It doesn’t do much, but it gave us just what we needed – way to quickly create an Events page by using a gutenberg block. No silly calendar dashboards that use the classic editor, no inserting of short codes that make you then have to preview over and over to make sure the look is right.
Really – if you’re just wanting to make an events page, pick this plugin. I hope the author is able to work on it to keep it working with WP.
