Introduction
The GeoDirectory Events Addon is a custom post type specifically designed for the way events usually are prioritized by dates.
With this plugin you can let users add their events to your site. Events are ordered by upcoming date by default. Users can enter recurring dates for their events instead of having to create lots of separate events. As this is also a custom post type you have the usual ability to add custom fields and sort options.
Events perfectly integrates with all other GeoDirectory addons:
- Create specific price packages with the Prices and Payments Addon.
- Customize the event search with the Advanced Search Filter Addon.
- Import FaceBook events using the Social Importer Addon.
Installation
After uploading and activating the Addon, you will be taken to the Settings page:
WordPress Admin > GeoDirectory > Event Settings.

Default event filter
- Your visitors can filter the events to show only upcoming events (today + future), today’s events (today only), past events (yesterday and before), or all events together.
- The Default event filter settings will set the initial choose on the events page.
Disable Recurring Feature
- When your users add an event, they will be able to add
- A one-off event, either a full day event, or start and finish can be nominated.
- Recurring events: dayly, weekly, monthly, yearly or custom (pick all applicable dates), either as full day events, or start and finish can be nominated.
- The Disable Recurring Feature setting will restrict event submissions to one-off events only.
