Search works easily

I created a lot of events and didn’t name them clearly enough. This plugin allowed me to search for the ones that were problematic and fix them. Easy money.
Just what we needed!

Busy food truck – clients can see when we are available for their events and customers can see where we are, if we aren’t at our home base.
Good plugin
by marquopolo·2 years ago
Nice features with the standard plugin but limited layout, specially for a home page showing preview events.
