I spent money on the Pro version. Was promising in beginning but no support, no contact, no update capability, not even a peep of life for months and months. Caused financial loss and embarrassment to entire community. Security issues threaten to block domain from public. Look elsewhere. You can believe the free version won’t be any better.

Plugin stopped working. Been sending tix for a month. No one answers any cries for help. Going to Better Business Bureau.
I am very disappointed.

I purchased the pro version as my first plugin. Most of the features did not work from the beginning. I surmised it was something I was doing wrong for so many features not to work. Had NO response from support until PayPal contacted them for a refund. They will not honor support or a refund which is guaranteed. I would not use this plugin for the obvious reason. I am not alone with getting ZERO support.

1. support has not been answered in 3 months, has not been updated in 6.
2. people are complaining about the Pro version and site not working right so you know the free one is REALLY neglected.
3. it installs in 4.0 and you can make things but when you assign it to a page it just redirects to home page and not the page assigned.
Never going pro in a burning house, someone’s dropped the ball on this.

This plugin is not user friendly, customer support took 1 month to get back to me! I am looking for something else! It does not do all it is supposed to and when customer did contact me and saw it wasn’t working they couldn’t fix it. I gave them FTP access to my site and then never heard from them again! Buyer BEWARE!!!

Doesn’t show starting hour in calendar etc….
I personally love the Ajax Event Calendar but as far i can see this
plugin is not maintained anymore by its author…
In search of a real sports calendar…

I first tested free CalPress but most features are not supported on this version so thought to trust Aspire2 and buy the Developer’s version CalPressPro last April 2014 for $79.00 .
From the first beginning I had to contact support for things that I saw on demo videos of the product but didn’t seem to work on the commercial release I received from them that was version 1.6.004 .
First incredible answers were telling that some features shown as working on video demos on their web site were in fact not supported like for example lightbox integration even if in fact works … once in awhile. In 3 months and many tickets opened I received new version 1.7 that solved for example Google maps problem (maps not correctly shown) but created other new problems as if button “calendar” used as filter for categories not working anymore or recurring dates not shown anymore by default and not for choice of user. No comments of course from support for old tickets opened and seemlessly lost … ??
As I read from others here on this review forum problems seem to be common. Even classic answer “we are looking into it right away” takes time to arrive. Got problems even for something simple as a request of a bill that should be automatically sent with all data required in a bill, data regularly given during payment. Finally today I just asked last time for product working or immediate refund in “real time”. It’s a pitty cause product could be nice if only followed in a more professional way. Can’t imagine what could happen with WordPress compatibility in future with these timings. Will get back to this review with infos about answers from support.

Seems to work fine except some new php errors I started getting with a server upgrade to php 5.4.29.

Get with the times. This plug in is not usable with a mobile device without major work. Also, whoever wrote the style sheet uses !important every 3rd line it seems, making styling for this mess a royal pain in the neck.

I purchased the Developer’s version last year, and I’ve contacted support since OCTOBER of 2013 about how the recurring events was broken. I have an event that occurs on the 1st Friday of every month and ends at 12:30am on Saturday and another that occurs on the 3rd Friday of every month and ends at 12:30am on Saturday. Both those events, since October, have been okay for the first instance, but repeat on the 1st and 3rd THURSDAYS instead. Gave them my backend login and FTP, and I would have to HOUND THEM for updates every few weeks – they would not take initiative to check on something until I asked, and then they would respond within the hour, as if they had simply “forgotten” about open tickets.
Twice after I’d hounded them, they sent me “updates” to the plugin and asked me to check. Are they incapable of opening up a browser on their own to check if the fixes worked? Twice these did nothing. This last time, they claimed to have “fixed” it again by changing the timezone of both my plugin and on WordPress to London – which caused all my events to now show as starting at 3:30am and 4:30am! Of course, they again asked me to check to see if it was fixed rather than loading up the page and seeing all my messed up events in the middle of a registration drive.
Freaking brilliant, this lot. Over and over again I’ve said, if you can’t fix things in a timely manner (and 5 months for the same bug is not timely) that the previous calendar plugin I’d used (All-in-One Event Calendar) could do without issue, then they should refund me. Nope, they just keep beating around the bush. I’m done with this. I’m going to see if I can get my credit card company is willing to reverse the wasted $79 I paid for this POS.

icloud calendar feed yeilds a time difference.
For instance, my event at 10am, shows at 2am on the calpress calendar, and I have it set for Central Time, just as my icloud and wordpress show.
Perhaps I have to trick it by setting calpress to a different time zone, but I don’t want to. It works fine with Localendar and AMR ical, so why not with this?
Also, I hate that there is ZERO support from developers on their free version. Really guys, you can’t run any business these days, especially a software development company, and not support your work. It helps you, FOR FREE, to make a better product. It’s like having thousands of beta testers for free. Support calpress free and fix the time delay on icloud feeds, and you might just have the best wordpress calendar out there.

It’s an amazing calendar plugin! It match exactly what I had been searching for in calendars!
This is one you have to add to your website or Blog!
Thanks to the developers!

I’d likely give this calendar plugin a 4 or 5 star rating if not for the fact that the monthly calendar dates are a day off and after a web search it looks like its been off since June with no updates to fix it. Bummer. I like it.

this plugin gave me loads of head-aches. Actually the only plugin I ever paid for, because it seemed worth the money, but didn;t get it to work as advertised..
Maybe because of multiple site setup; mostly because the activation just sucked…

finally, after trying 5 similar plugins, an events calender that actually works as it says! All I had to do was create the category, select the page for the calender and post the event. Just like in Heaven.

I love this plugin. I’ve only been using it for about an hour and it’s fantastic. I had been using Time.ly’s All in One Calendar for a long time but their update kept failing and crashing. Since they removed their plugin from wordpress, I removed their plugin from my site.
Time to move on. CalPress works like a charm out of the box. I spent an hour or so customizing the CSS and creating some child pseudo classes but it was a breeze. Best part is that this plugin imported events without me telling it too AND event categories! Love it.
The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the calendar view (when using it on a page with a sidebar) cuts off the bottom of a long event description and there’s no scrollbar appearing. It also strips out html (a href) tags out of the description too. Wish it didn’t but still a great plugin.
I recommend it!

My initial reaction was very positive as the plugin is easy to set up and use and has lots going for it.
However, and it’s a BIG however, it really slows down the entire site and doesn’t appear to work in IE.
OK, so we know IE is a piece of old junk, but there are millions of users out there still using it.

Plain and simple, a sidebar widget is needed. One that actually shows a calendar and not just a list of events. Disappointing…off to find a new plugin.

When installed and I was configuring, I suddenly got “You have an unstable version of IE”. Really? No one else ever told me this. Also has an unnecessary graphic with Upcoming Events – and no way to remove it.

I’ve used several calendar plugins, and this is the first that is able to combine multiple published calendar feeds (including iCloud feeds), and even combine them with events created in WordPress.
If you’re looking for a functional and reliable calendar plugin, this is it.

Hello everyone,
Does the plugin have a feature that allows users to add events, allows the administrator to approve or disapproval an event submitted by a user?
Does it also allow users to attach a file (pdf, image) along for instance or does it allow me to create custom forms for users to do so?

My small challenge was quickly resolved with your support!! I encourage web designers of all calibers to try Calpress Calendar!! It is a GREAT product!! ??

Great calendar so far, I’ve tried several others before, and this is the best. Events can be categorized, each category with different attributes, and each event has its own description page!. Style is attractive and elegant.
Nice job!

I paid for the developer license of this plugin and was satisfied with the customer support when I had easy questions for them. However, when they made a crude work around to fix a problem with one plugin they created another one with what I can only assume is multiple plugins revolving around the wp_login hook. When I requested support from the developer I never heard back from them and this was over 8 days ago and multiple emails and this plugin was affecting many of my production sites. I would have thought they would at the very least respond and say they were too busy, whatever… But NOTHING… VERY disappointed!

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this plugin is to set up and use. I was expecting a mammoth task…. 3 mins later CalPress is fully deployed, my ICS feed is imported, and the calendar is instantly looking great.
Thank you for an excellent plugin.
