Can I downgrade from Pro to free plugin without major adverse effects?

Hi ,

Recently relaunched our site on WP and loving the functionality of the Events Calendar. Unbeknownst to me, our developer purchased the PRO license even though we don’t need those enhanced features.
Developer is now threatening to yank their license and take to another site they’re developing.

My question: Since we’re not using the PRO features anyway, can we simply remove the license and the PRO plugin and revert to the free version? Will this have adverse effects? What should I be thinking about in terms of managing this switch? Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for using the Events Calendar, I can help you out here.

If you have no used the Pro features of recurring events or additional fields you should be able to turn off Pro and everything works the same.

I would backup your site before turning off Pro, to be safe, but I routinely in my testing turn Pro off and on, even with Additional Fields and Recurring Events and events still show without issue.

Does that help?
