I operate a house league website for a local hockey club. There are 8-divisions, 61-teams and this plugin manages the games, practices, and standings. I’ve run into a couple of issues because I use custom displays of the information, and each time support has been prompt, courteous, and helpful in assisting me in identifying the issue.
I would highly recommend this plugin.

El plugin es super completo, adaptable a las necesidades de toda liga y lo mejor que tiene, el soporte. Siempre con buena predisposición a solucionar las dudas.
Felicitaciones!

Great plugin, and support helped me figure out some weird formulas in no time.
Thanks!
Edit: the review above was before I was left hanging for weeks, and saw some of the other reviews. Product is great, but feels like a ghost town recently.

13/9/24 – Support for this plugin continues to be NON EXISTENT for the paid version. I recommend to anyone NOT to buy this plugin. Despite numerous messages, no one responds. I have never experienced such bad support from any other developer.
When I first complained, they did respond quickly but since then nothing!
Support is extremely bad for the Pro version. I complained about the bad support and for a short while they were apologetic and responsive. After a couple of weeks they were once again very slow or did not reply to support requests. It seems that if you complain, they respond well for a short while, then they go back to being slow. There seems to be a total lack of care and concern for their customers.
Now, I have still outstanding issues, with promises of responses but have received nothing. I have never dealt with any other developer/coder/brand that has such a high disregard for their customers.
Themeboy seem to be con artists.
I’ve purchased many premium themes and plugins and this is the first one I’ve had support issues with.
Their showcase page here: https://www.themeboy.com/showcase/, at first glance looks good, however, most links are dead or show evidence that themeboy products are not being used. This page is clearly designed to mislead potential customers into buying products.
9/9/24 – I find I am once again having to leave a negative review because of the lack of support. I previously raised the same issue. Following my previous complaint, support improved but only for a short while. I am now finding I am just NOT receiving response to queries.
When I first bought this plugin, I was looking forward to using it for several projects. However, I will never buy another licence or want to use it. Themeboy support is just made up of false promises and they seem to have no respect or regards for their customers. It is simply appalling. I have never known of any other plugin developer to be so bad.
DON’T UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BUY THE PAID VERSION OF THIS PLUGIN. IT IS NOT DESERVING ON EVEN ONE STAR.

as developer this plugin is not worth the effort. The authors decisions in modelling objects are expedient but make extending the plugin in a useful way impossible. Avoid

I have an issue with my league licence saying it’s invalid, even though there’s 250+ days validity left. I lodged a ticket on 9th April, here it is 27th May and it’s STILL not resolved & they just ignore my emails and no longer update the case.
Would not recommend!

Support for pro version is poor. I identified an issue with Sportpress Pro and Litespeed Cache. I provided support with admin access to my site. Nearly 7 days later they logged into my website, spent 7 minutes troubleshooting, then told me I needed to start using a different caching plugin for my site. Litespeed Cache is the most used caching plugin. Doesn’t work with the second most used caching plugin, W3 Total Cache either.

I absolutely do not understand why they make purchasing a plugin complicated by forcing you to use PayPal. I corresponded with them and wanted to pay by card, bank transfer. I was told they would find out. After 14 days I had to buy the plugin because the client was already pressuring me. Now I can’t delete the PalPal account and the data in it. Stupid payment method, I will talk the client out of using this plugin. I don’t want to experience another payment.

Our sport club has been using plugin “SportPress Pro” and template “Premier” for a long time. I needed to upgrade PHP version, but something was wrong. After contacting the helpdesk, the problem was quickly resolved. I’d be happy to wait for a regular update, but guys from the helpdesk offered to deploy it in “hot patch mode” directly to our website.
Many thanks to @RochOliveira. Great help for a person who doesn’t have a deep knowledge of webmaster.

It has all kinds of sports preconfigured, but it lacks motorsports, it could come prepared for motorsports too, with support for multi categories of racing sports, individual racing drivers or teams.
However I loved the system, very practical and intuitive.
Thanks!

I enjoyed working with SportsPress (Pro) and the themes and plugins that the parent company provides, but nowadays, it’s getting very frustrating. I’m only working with SportsPress because of my clients and I’m actively looking for an alternative.
SportsPress Pro IS php8-compatible, but it still didn’t have any new feature or significant update for the last year or year and half.
Many of the premium themes and plugins that use SportsPress as a lead magnet are not php8-compatible.
The support is very good but it’s not enough, we need the features you promised years ago (more tournament types, new importer, etc). We need PHP compatibility and updates that fix/improve older code…

It’s time to update this plugin to the latest version of WordPress, for starters.
Secondly, while there are some decent customization options available, there needs to be a lot more added. Namely, being able to maximize responsiveness for mobile without having to add custom CSS to every page.
For example, if I wanted to show results on desktop as inline and then block on mobile, I should. Or I should haven’t to go in and change the CSS to make the teams and logos fit on one line.
This is probably the most complete all-in-one package for league management, especially for a news style entity, but it still needs a lot of work. Just look at how ESPN displays tables. On mobile, the team name (short name at that) and position are grouped and then fixed while the rest of the columns are scrollable. Or in the NCAA standings on ESPN, you get separate columns for conference and overall but you can’t really do the same with SportsPress if you wanted.
You can’t separate box scores by position, so instead of each offensive position like QB, RB or WR being separated out you get one large grouped box score for offense.
It just seems half-baked with too much needed on top of it to really make it work. A word to the devs: not every sport works the same as the others.

The plugin is fantastic. I get so many compliments from my league members. The purchase price and annual renewal fee is completely reasonable and good value for money. I’ve logged a few support tickets and every single time, the ThemeBoy team has come through.

To anyone reading this.
The SportsPress team, and especially Plugin Contributor Roch (@rochesterj) did a fantastic job solving my issues and bringing real value to the plugin.
If like me, you are a cheap SOB and could probably squeak by on their free offerings, I highly suggest you consider pulling out the wallet and purchasing whatever license level your finances make possible. Let’s keep quality developers…in both the end product of their work and their commitment to customer support…motivated, compensated, and afloat so they can continue to innovate and produce the products we need.
Cheers all…

Overall the app is decent. Intermediate knowledge of creating a sports site a must. There are kinks in the software that need to be addressed:
1. Games Behind doesn’t updated. It will list as 0
2. Ties are not shown
3. Standings are not accurate as sometimes a team with a better record may show up lower in standings.
4. Tech support is available only some of the time unless you upgrade to premium.
5. Instructional videos are very basic.

I’ve been working as a developer for a couple of years but recently came across SportsPress. It is indeed a complete solution, you can get thousands of dollars worth of features/functionalities for free and more only for like a 99USD.
The plugin is seamless and unlike other themes/plugins that force you to install a load of addons to properly function. SportsPress genuinely is light on the site and gives you absolute control.
The documentation is complete and the team went as far as creating tutorials for each step. If it was a standalone from wordpress it’d be worth thousands. I’m definitely enjoying making use of the plugin, it saved me a hours of work.

This used to be a superb, 5 star review. However things have changed. Their tournament part simply does not work properly. Last year I made a tournament for a city wide knockout competition. The plugin continuously put the losing team through to the next round instead of the winner. We realised this as the competition started which made us look ridiculous which was incredibly embarrassing to us it eventually got fixed after we abandoned the online tournament.
onto this year. Again, made the tournament, competition started, turns out that NO TEAM gets put through. Again embarrassing for us. The only solution was to manually edit and put through the winners manually, which defeats the purpose of the plugins tournament section.
Therefore, I can not recommend this plugin to anyone who is considering using the tournament part as it DOES NOT WORK. Perhaps once it is solved or they simply remove the tournament part as it seems they can’t get it to work correctly.
So a 2 star review now due to this error being over 2 years old, still not fixed, and the embarrassment it has caused me.

The event blocks are all messed up and don’t show the logo and the scores properly. The league tables don’t generate the standings automatically. This plugin is just a mess and maybe works if you use their themes. I purchased the pro plugin to see if it makes a difference and so far it doesn’t make any difference. The features are still broken

Great plugin to sport event organizers and clubs. I use it for beach volleyball and volleyball tournaments. I did need quite some time to figure out all the functionalities, but once I did I’m very satisfied with it. I also very much appreciate the support of the plugin.

I use Sportspress with Soccer add-on for our amateur team and its so much fun.
I have heard a lot of positive reviews for our website and its mainly because of SP.
I am thinking about going Pro, but firstly we need to do better on the pitch. ??
