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.

Event Post – TOP!!
Excellent plugin that fits into WordPress.
Many thanks to the developers – it is used with enthusiasm on websites.
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
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.
A very practical plugin if you want to easily create events from your blog. Effective.
