It’s quite refreshing to find a plugin that works as advertised. Especially with a block template and FSE. While I just needed a simple event calendar / list plugin, this meets all my ‘drag and drop” requirements while providing the ability to go above and beyond if you wish.
Just remember to donate to the developer of an extremely well architected and developed plugin. Oh, and did I say it works? ??

I can’t believe the scope of this product! There are so many features that are available. You can have a fully functioning events page with ticketing, payments, RSVP, Calendar… the whole shebang. And all for free! I did however choose to support these awesome developers and their products by donating. I hope they keep up the good work and continue to release updates. Thank you so much!

It a really powerful plugin to manage events, including booking an (optional) payments.
Alot settings, to customize it, to fit your own needs.
And its not an crippled lite-version; it is a great free plugin ??
The support in the forum was quick and friendly ??

very good plugin really free.
Needs time to understand how it works and to configure it but then works very well.
I recommend it especially for clubs that want to have a functional registration system without spending too much.

This plugin looked really promising. However yet again the plugin is too complicated and is trying to be too clever if you are looking for a simple event handler this is not for you. If you have no coding experience, which is why numerous people use WordPress then forget it. I am unable to provide a suitable recommendation this is the 7th event plugin I have installed 6 have not worked at all and this one I didn’t even attempt to go through, the documentation is also seriously lacking the developers make too many assumptions about the skill levels of the end user.

I am helping to develop a website for our local u3a association, which has over 80 activity groups. The combination of activities and frequencies mean there are well over 80 recurring events to manage.
EME has allowed me to manage those events really easy. I had a couple of problems, mainly of my own making, with which I got really quick help from Franky. I identified a possible improvement to the plugin, to have a bulk action for extending recurring event end dates. Franky said he would develop it and I settled in for a long wait (from experience with other developers). Less than a day later the change had been made.
I can highly recommend this plugin and am really impressed with the level of support.

EME brings all feature together. It’s the swiss knife app of all event apps. After reading the documentation you’re able to adjust evertything and customize the app exactly you need for your page. After customization it looks as it’s native programmed for your website.
It’s important to take your time to read the documentation (I think when you programm a real usable website you have this time).
Thank you for this great app.

I’ve looked at all sorts of membership & event plug-ins. I have actually installed and uninstalled this one twice. Installed because it does 90% of what you could want in a membership and event management tool. Uninstalled because it is extremely complex and arcane in its approach to just about everything. Re-installed because I wanted to give it another shot. Uninstalled again due to daunting complexity. My biggest gripe is that so many of the pieces and parts require building from the ground up. New member form? You have to create a template from scratch. New event form? Same. And something simple like asking for State turns into an adventure down the rabbit hole of setting up massive drop-down lists that can’t be re-formatted easily. While there are CSS hooks for many elements, not all are either obvious or documented. So something simple like entering the State on a new member form becomes a drop-down that takes up the entire container width and there’s no clear way of limiting its size. It seems to be hard-coded into the #_State template tag.
I suspect for the professional developer, this could be the best events plug-in out there. But for part-time hackers like me, it’s too complicated.
I give the developer credit, he does respond to questions within a day or so but some of those responses are a bit terse. And his own site continually throws up an automated bot error making it impossible for me to search on solutions in his forums.

I’ve looked through many other paid and unpaid other event managers, but none have the all the functionalities that are on board of this plugin! From single events to multi-day events to returning events, different price options including discount structures, booking handling including automated client mails, totally customizable e-mail and page templates, support for many different payment providers… and my list can go on!
When you start, it seems complicated – but in fact when you understand the structure, it’s well organised. The plugin is pretty well documented.
What does require some work is that you need to create the desired design for the webpage output yourself, but that actually makes it quite flexible in any theme.
Hats off for the developer, a 5-star review and donation is well deserved!

This is a trully great and genuinly free plugin for Events. No “pro” version, everything is included for free.
The support also is good and friendly. Needs a bit of learning, still i haven’t found anything as good and free as EME.
]]>Rating: 4 stars
I’m giving this 4 stars because in my search for an events plugin this seemed the best for my needs, and so far in my testing I think it will be. One important thing to note (and at least one person with a 1-star rating mentioned this), is that the bool datatype isn’t supported in older mysql versions (I’m not sure why mine isn’t the latest because I installed Xampp from Bitnami just a couple months ago), and 0000-00-00/0000-00-00 00:00:00 don’t work as defaults for date/datetime fields. I tried modifying the file where the tables are created (then copied back to the Zip file I installed from) but I guess somewhere the version of mysql is being looked for, and in older versions the tables don’t get created. There is no indication of this when installing the plugin; you’ll only discover it when trying to add a location or event.
Since my modifications to the PHP file didn’t work, I just created the full SQL to create the tables by copying it out of the PHP file and making the necessary revisions:
Bool fields:
[field_name] bool DEFAULT 0 (or 1 if true)
should be changed to
[field_name] boolean DEFAULT false (or true)
Date fields:
[field_name] date DEFAULT '0000-00-00'
should be changed to
[field_name] date DEFAULT '1000-01-01'
Datetime fields:
[field_name] datetime DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
should be changed to
[field_name] datetime DEFAULT '1000-01-01 00:00:00'

It would be great if I could have added even a single event. Or if the video the developer posted showed how to do the MOST BASIC THING POSSIBLE… that being actually showing how to add a new event. And don’t be fooled at over 40 minutes long, the video is NOT a “quick rundown”.
Every time I tried to add even a simple test event, I kept getting this type of error Table ‘db822076813.ieThOZcyeme_events’ doesn’t exist

Ich verwende EME seit mehreren Jahren und bin top zufrieden damit! Auch wenn es einem als Nicht-Programmierer schwer f?llt, die ein oder andere pers?nliche Anforderung an das Plugin umzusetzen, die M?glichkeiten sind jedenfalls schier unendlich.
Das Plugin wird st?ndig weiter entwickelt und realisierbare Feature-Wünsche werden auch umgesetzt.

After several tested plugins for ticket bookings, I decided to go with EME because it is very flexible and you can get used to it very quickly. Also a good export function is built in order to be able to print booking lists.
Very important:
The developer regularly provides updates and responds quickly to notifications about bugs or new ideas/features/requests in the EME-forum.
… and it’s absolutely free – which is a good reason for a donation (everyone has to pay for his coffee)!
Keep it up…

The Events Made Easy plugin can do just about everything I need to create, manage, and ticket events. Flexible with lots of settings to customise it, and the ability to take payments built in. Just understand that there’s a little learning curve, so take some time to read the documentation to get started.

From the first look it seems a complicated plugin. So first I deactivated it and started to look for other event plugins. Then I came back to EME (including the front end plugin) and started to read the description more carefully. As soon as you get a grip on the structure, it is a breeze to set it up and create your events pages. You can do almost anything with it. It is very flexible and you are not restricted by a time frame to pay for the use of a very well written plugin as it is free. But I am convinced that no good work must left unpaid.
And the best feature of this plugin is the support. It is super fast and the author does more than expected to help you with your problems. He even looked into the theme that was actually creating the problem and found the solution. This is what I call a SUPPORT.

Franky, you have created a perfect plugin.
I never have seen any other plugin which is so flexible to manage all information regarding events.
Also your support is very prompt and my requests regarding changes or new functions have been implemented immediately.

This free plugin include features that a lot of the premium make you pay for such as payment integration, reservations, location managment etc. Yes, it takes some learning curve to learn how to set it up to do what you want. That’s because it can do a lot. If you are not faint-hearted and willing to put in some effort, I think you will find this plugin can meet your event management needs – for free!

This plugin is very complex and universal. I can imagine that in the begin it was really simple plugin, but now has so many functions. This plugin is able to manage all the event from the invitation to the payments. I also developed an Excel application which is connected to EME, where the rest of processing is done, like the prints. The Author’s support is also very good.

Full points for Frankie and Events Made Easy.
This is an incredibly powerful plugin and it works right out of the box. You can –literally – install the plugin, put the “events” page into your menus, and start adding events. Everything just works from there. The plugin will generate event listings, event description pages, booking forms, confirmation email and everything else you need to manage your calendar of events. Of course, some things need configuration ( like a reply-to email address ) but all the web pages work from default settings.
Payments are made easy too. It has simple, single click integration with a wide variety of payment platforms.
Fully integrated with your WordPress membership database, so you don’t need to run a second system. Everything is in one place.
If you want like to play, you can configure the output of the default web pages. Settings for every aspect of those pages are in your control. You can set up defaults for everything (and there is a lot) and you can over-ride everything.
In addition there are templates, a bit like Smarty, which can be almost everywhere. Templates can include conditional logic with IF statements and LOOPS, which are based on values from the event data. How cool is that!
Shortcodes allow you to integrate your events into posts and pages. Your shortcodes can include search queries based on date, time and category and they can call templates. The logic is simple and flexible. The mix of search and templates ( and conditional logic in the template ) means that you can do a lot (!) with shortcodes. In fact, the “basic usage” page in the documentation ( did I mention that there is good documentation ) says “you need to use shortcodes on regular pages to get anything done from EME.” That’s so not true, but it is does give you total control.
Plus, there are hooks and filters, so you can knock yourself out.
