Overview
Event Organiser adds event management that integrates well with your WordPress site. By using WordPress’ in-built ‘custom post type’, this plug-in allows you to create events that have the same functionality as posts, while adding further features that allow you to manage your events. This includes the possibility of repeating your event according to complex schedules and assign your events to venues. This can all be done through an intuitive user interface, which allows you to view your events in the familiar WordPress list or in a calendar page in the admin area.

What a great plugin!
by Rovanov·5 months ago
Finally one that works perfectly with OSM.
Take good care of it—it’s the only one I could find.

Not compatible with latest WordPress Version and PHP 8.x. After installation the plugin Icon was not shown.
does not work properly

I am going to delete this plug in. You cannot change dates. You cannot change times. You cannot copy events. You cannot exclude dates within repeating events. This plug in is full of bugs.
Good plugin

Good plugin works as it should work
So far, so good

I need just a basic calendar, so I can add events (color coded by category) that people can just see. Very simple needs. This product does that for free. Easy to set up, so far it has been working just fine.
It let me import my events from an ICS file, which was helpful, as that is how I was able to get my data from the plugin that I was using, which used to be free but now charges a fee.
Only hassle was that all events came in as drafts, so I had to republish them. Not a big deal, other than that I had a LOT of events
