Vizou Events Manager – Download

Download

To update the plugin, simply download the latest version below, then visit the Plugins page and select Add Plugin and then Upload Plugin. Choose the zip archive you just downloaded and Install it. You can then click the Replace button to safely overwrite the one currently active. It is only replacing the files, not your database, so no worries! I do recommend that you regularly do an export (backup) of your events just to be on the safe side.

Download version 0.1.13

Changelog

Version 0.1.13

  • Removed continual two-way sync between event title and event venue to simplify entry. Best practice is to start to type venue in title field in case it already exists, then select from dropdown, or create a new venue with the “+” and Add.
  • Changed default list and single events templates to display the event status when there is no ticket link and the status is NOT cancelled. This display can still be customized with your own template override.
  • Small changes to the default CSS to improve readability and targeting of data, a single mobile breakpoint (you can override this)
