Overview

Adds some meta-data to posts to convert them into full calendar events.
Each event can be exported into ical(.ics), outlook(vcs), or Google Calendar.
Geolocation works thanks to openstreetmap.

It can also fetch the weather, but doesn’t bring the sun 🙂

A good idea, needs polishing
by mbrailer·1 year ago

For many websites with simple event needs, this plugin could be a better approach because it doesn’t require the user to learn an entirely new interface — instead, you just create a post in the usual way and add date and location.

However, the plugin will need more polish to make it a true replacement for dedicated event plugins. The method for adding venue addresses is awkward, and it would help to have a way to store frequently-used addresses.

Event Post – TOP!!

Excellent plugin that fits into WordPress.

Many thanks to the developers – it is used with enthusiasm on websites.

Great, simple plugin
by petrj·2 years ago

I was looking for a simple solution to post and archive events that were previously only on Facebook. Thanks to this plugin, it was easy to do.

Thanks for your work so far

Works perfectly and very simple
by ohliza·4 years ago·2 replies

Thanks for a simple, light, easy plugin. I didn’t want a full event calendar for this project, and this is ideal.

I would suggest simpler documentation for non-devs (like a dedicated admin page with settings, docs etc), and ability to control layout/css in shortcode a bit more, how to add weather, but overall an awesome and light plugin for folks who know some coding.

Thanks.

Simple and efficient!
