List of features

retrieve any type of information that you would like to associate with the events. With the tools in the Pro version, you don’t have to wait for us to make changes to the data structure. You
will be able to do it yourself, easily and safely. - You can use custom templates and custom Events Planner template tags for displaying event details. In the Pro version, you will have the option to select a different template for each event, and create your own.
- Can be extended using custom hooks and configurations. Use filters to add fields and meta boxes to any section of the plugin. -Pro
- Coming Soon, with the help of an extender plugin, the ability to modify all the views and styles that come with the plugin. -Pro

Accept Registrations

We have used this plugin for several years and love it. I have not found anything that provides the same level of functionality for class registration.
Unfortunately, support seems to have disappeared about a year ago.
So disappointed.
I wanted very much to like this plug-in. The free version and even test set-up seemed so promising. But I’ve been fighting it for several days and can’t get any help from support. Events are duplicating out of nowhere, and if I delete one they both disappear. Other problems too. I wasted $56 and must go looking again. Someone please write a decent event plug-in!!

Within an hour I had the plugin installed, events, presenters, locations, prices and discounts set up, all displaying in an UpComing Training page on our site, with registration tested.
I had a question over changing a font size and Abel provided the custom css within the day and it worked first time in the customer css field.
You have to respect good design that works.
This plugin is truly amazing! It has allowed me to streamline our registration system and is now saving me tons of time! It integrates with Stripe and is highly customizable! And to top it off WP Event Planner has the best technical support I have ever experienced! Thank you so much!

The plugin works great and the support is even better. Even though I’m using the lite (free) version support was within hours.. not days or weeks and was spot on.
You can’t go wrong with this Event Planner.

Best plugin I have ever used. If I ever had a question, no matter how lame, Abel, the contact guy for this well supported plugin, has always been there to answer my questions. The pricing is perfect. The product is intuitive. Abel is a bright guy that knows his stuff. He’s accessible in a reasonable time (it’a a popular plugin and he has to answer a million questions after all). He is genuinely invested in making sure you are happy with this product. For all the help he has given me I hope this review pulls in at least one more customer for this plugin.
