User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the extensive functionality and customization options of the WordPress plugin, notably for managing events, calendars, and bookings efficiently. They commend its feature-rich free version and reasonably priced Pro version, which provides additional functionalities. Users also highlight its good integration with multiple websites and the ease of styling events using custom CSS. However, significant drawbacks include poor support services, frequent bugs especially post updates, and slow response times from the support team. The plugin's support forum is often filled with unresolved issues, leading to user frustration. Additionally, users criticize the reliance on numerous database tables, CSS handling issues with '!important' rules, and the lack of integration with popular page builders like Elementor. Despite its potential, users suggest improvements in support and overall coding quality for a better experience.

We’ve been using the Events Manager plugin since 2017 with the free version, and since 2022 we’ve upgraded to the Pro version. With over 650 events hosted at our theater since then, this plugin has been instrumental in managing our event reservations, building a mailing list of our audience, and maintaining smoother communication with them. We’re very pleased with the continuous development and new features that the Events Manager team keeps introducing. It’s clear that they are dedicated to improving the plugin over time. We hope the project continues to grow, and we will remain grateful for the support and innovations they provide.

Plugins will always have glitches but it’s how a business resolves those issues that matter. I’m pleased to say that the EM team exceeded my expectations. There was an issue, they joined the dots that others were affected, then identified the issue, worked out a fix, and provided a plugin update to resolve in a timely manner. All done professionally and graciously. Thank you to the EM team!

This was installed with one of my themes so it was only the free version I was using. I need help and some questions regard possible future features and the responses were quick and most importantly helpful. I would say if you use this properly it could handle any event scenarios you would have for your wordpress projects. I will be upgrading to pro as I feel confident I will be looked after and the plugin has much promise for the future. kind regards, Andrew
