WP Event Manager – Events Calendar, Registrations, Sell Tickets with WooCommerce

This plugin is absolutely not recommended – the documentation isn’t great, and the development process even worse – the devs recently pushed an update that broke many many installations (critical error, sites completely down), because they changed a huge number of function names that user templates relied on – WITHOUT ANY MENTION IN THE CHANGELOG that this was a breaking change.

Good morning,

I have been dealing with a license problem since 2025.

It didn't work. I couldn't activate the plugin with the assigned license.

I immediately contacted the support department about this and was told that they were working on it.

After a while, I contacted them again, and then it was Cloudware's fault.

So, I was fobbed off a number of times with a nonsense story.

After some more back-and-forth messages, I requested a refund for my purchase.

This was promised after 2 attempts, and it also appeared on my account that a refund had been issued.

However, I have not received the amount to this very day.

In response to my support inquiry, I received the answer that it had been refunded. My question regarding which account number it was transferred to was not answered.

After a more legal email, I was suddenly told that they do not issue refunds due to their refund policy.

However, this is completely at odds with what they have done and the confirmation I received from support multiple times.

Since the license has simply been revoked as well, I have now paid for plugins that I cannot use, as is the intended purpose of a license.

I would have liked to see this resolved, but I have become very hopeless.

My advice regarding this company is therefore: DO NOT do business with them; there are plenty of alternatives that act properly.

Hopefully, they will take action, and if so, I will certainly report it.

Données environnementales

Site WordPress Version PHP : 8.3.30WP Event Manager (Core) : 3.3.5 Module complémentaire Événements récurrents : 1.5.0 (Licence active et à jour) Description du problème Les événements récurrents ne sont pas générés. L’exécution manuelle du déclenchement cron de récurrence provoque une erreur fatale, interrompant le processus et éventuellement toute création d’événement. Analyse technique et preuves Les journaux confirment une incompatibilité entre l’extension et le plugin principal. L’extension (v1.5.0) tente d’appeler des méthodes de la classe WP_Event_Manager_Date_Time qui n’existent plus ou ont été renommées dans le plugin principal (v3.3.5).1. Erreur fatale lors de l’exécution de Cron Exécuter la commande suivante via WP-CLI : wp cron event run event_manager_event_recurringRetours : Erreur fatale PHP : Erreur non interceptée : Appel à la méthode non définie WP_Event_Manager_Date_Time::get_timezone() dans …/wp-content/plugins/wp-event-manager-recurring-events/wp-event-manager-recurring-events.php:2292. Incompatibilités identifiées (niveau du code)Ligne 229 : Appel à WP_Event_Manager_Date_Time::get_timezone( $event_id ). Cette méthode est absente de la version 3.3.5 du noyau. Il semble que le noyau attend désormais une récupération directe des métadonnées POST ou une autre fonction d’assistance.Ligne 234 (environ) : Appel WP_Event_Manager_Date_Time::get_current_timestamp_from_event_timezone(). Dans Core v3.3.5, la méthode statique est nommée current_timestamp_from_event_timezone() (sans le obtenir_ préfixe). Conclusion

La version actuelle de l’extension Événements récurrents est mathématiquement incompatible avec le noyau actuel de WP Event Manager. Une mise à jour ou un correctif urgent est nécessaire pour aligner l’extension avec les classes Date/Heure remaniées du noyau.

It used to be an excellent plugin, but it’s become a nightmare!

The site is completely broken after the last plugin update. The last stable version was 3.1.45, over three years ago. Since then, every update has introduced bugs that make this functionality unusable.
When will this plugin be seriously and completely rewritten, compatible with a 3.1.45 installation?
I’m stuck with hundreds of event entries, and it’s impossible to recreate everything with a competing plugin. If you know of a plugin that can transfer and convert data from WP Event Manager to a reliable equivalent, please let me know.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after spending more than $300 on WP Event Manager products and add-ons, I feel it is important to warn other developers and platform owners about my experience.

I built an event platform using WP Event Manager, including several paid add-ons such as Sell Tickets, Emails, WPSeats and Calendar. From the beginning the system has been extremely unstable.

Some of the most serious issues we encountered include the calendar view failing to load and getting stuck on loading or returning broken AJAX responses. Ticket prices randomly reset to £0 which makes events unusable. Seat selection and the WPSeats integration behave unpredictably and sometimes seats do not appear at all or produce errors. We also experienced fatal PHP errors coming from paid add-ons including undefined functions triggered during event publishing. On top of that, organizer users cannot reliably submit or publish events which defeats the purpose of running an event platform.

We even had to patch the plugin code ourselves in order to keep the site running. For example we had to replace incorrect request sanitization with map_deep() to prevent 500 errors. This is something that should never be necessary when using paid plugins.

Support has been slow and largely ineffective. Most responses repeat basic troubleshooting steps rather than addressing the underlying bugs. After several cycles of trying to fix things the same problems reappear or new ones surface.

The most frustrating part is the refund policy. Despite the platform being unusable in production and the issues clearly originating from the plugins themselves, refunds were not offered. This leaves customers paying hundreds of dollars for a system that still requires significant debugging and patching.

In summary the plugin ecosystem looks powerful on paper but in practice the stack is fragile and very sensitive to versions. Paid add-ons contain critical bugs and the support team does not provide engineering level fixes. The refund policy also leaves the customer carrying all the risk.

If you are planning to build a serious ticketing or event platform be prepared for significant troubleshooting and developer work.

I hope the team improves the stability of the core plugins and takes responsibility when paid components ship with critical issues.
