Purcahsing Event Calendar decision

[Shah Nawaz]

We purchased Event Manager Pro and are now thinking of getting rid of it and buying a new one. We got stuck on a technical issue that could not be resolved. Here is a link to the thread. http://eventsmanagerpro.com/support/questions/problem-with-formating-4/. The issue was that the code got changed.

Please see our under construction sample test site http://indiaseattle.com (this is not the final site)

Our main sites requirements are:

1. We do not want to use interfaces of other companies like EventBrite.
2. We want to facilitate organizers of events of specific industry worldwide to post and manage their events.
3. The events will be categorized into sub industry groups and locations worldwide.
4 The organizers and attendees should be able to find events based on categories and locations (countries etc.) Separate calendars for each category.(and may be location like a country)
5. And course the other standard options like payments and management capabilities by the organizers.

Do you think that Event Calendar PRO will do the job?

Hi Shah,

Thanks for your interest in our plugins. Let me try to answer those questions for you.

We do not want to use interfaces of other companies like EventBrite.

We offer a range of ticketing plugins that integrate with WP E-Commerce, Easy Digital Downloads and other popular ecommerce plugins: so, if you want to keep everything “in house”, you can 🙂

We want to facilitate organizers of events of specific industry worldwide to post and manage their events.

Our Community Events plugin allows users to submit events without administrative access – and you can restrict this facility so it is only available to logged in users.

The events will be categorized into sub industry groups and locations worldwide.

The Events Calendar (our free, core plugin) ships with support for a custom event category taxonomy in addition to integrating with regular post tags – so there are plenty of ways to organize and group events.

The organizers and attendees should be able to find events based on categories and locations (countries etc.) Separate calendars for each category.(and may be location like a country)

You can add powerful and intuitive filtering with our Filter Bar plugin – pair this with Events Calendar PRO and you also get geolocation data (which Filter Bar can then take advantage of to offer location-based search) – it’s pretty cool 🙂

And course the other standard options like payments and management capabilities by the organizers.

If you opt for one of our standard ticketing plugins, such as WooCommerce Tickets or any of the others listed here, you can certainly accept payment for events using a compatible payment processor of your choosing.

Do you think that Event Calendar PRO will do the job?

You have some pretty specific needs and to fulfill most or all of them would probably require more than just Events Calendar PRO – though that is a pretty powerful plugin and, along with The Events Calendar, would form a solid foundation which you could build on by adding further plugins from our suite as needed.

I hope that answers your questions, but do let me know if I can assist further.

Thanks!
