Plugin Description
Requires Events Manager (free plugin) to be installed & activated.
Unfortunately, you sometimes have to cancel a planned event. In Events Manager it can be quite cumbersome to make sure you have done everything. This add-on makes that extremely easy!
Just change the Post Status to “Cancelled” and this add-on will automatically:
- Close the Booking Form by adjusting the Event cut-off time to the timestamp of cancellation;
- Change the Event Category to the new “Event Cancelled”;
- Change the Booking Status to the new “Event Cancelled” for selected booking statuses;
- Send the new “Event Cancelled” Email to notify your customers.
- After cancelling an event, it will still be visible in the front end, but the booking form will be closed. This prevents 404-errors for visitors and search engines.
- Refunding online payments remains a manual procedure.
This add-on is fully integrated with the Events Manager Dashboard. These new options will work exactly the same as the built-in ones.
Supports EM in Global Tables Mode
If you are running Events Manager on a WordPress MultiSite with Global Tables Mode enabled, you will probably have noticed that (by default) some features are missing on the sub-blogs. Unlike what the EM Dev told me, it is possible to filter the Admin Events List per Event Category if Global Tables Mode is enabled.
Since version 2.0 this add-on is (almost) fully compatible with that. The only thing still missing, is selecting Events Categories in the Quick Edit menu on sub blogs. But all other features of this add-on run smoothly.
Compatibility with EM – Ongoing Events:
If you cancel a main event, all sub events will be cancelled as well, but if you cancel a sub event, the rest of this Ongoing Series will remain unchanged.
How to test it?
Simply create a test event like any other. Publish it and add yourself as a participant. Then set the test event to “Cancelled” and watch the magic happen.
