Hello everyone. I am running some final test of version 2.0 and should have a public beta available for the members later this evening or first thing tomorrow morning. So far things look great. I will be mostly checking the gateways today. I have managed to squeeze a highly requested feature into this version: partial payments. With this new advanced feature, you can allow your users to pay a deposit during the registration and the rest of the balance at a later date. Here are a few screenshots. I have decided to postpone the automated waitlist management for now as it is taking up a ..read more

Hello everyone. Thanks very much to all the beta testers for giving me great feedback after I released the first public beta of the new version.  After your input, I had to rework some of the core classes to improve the plugin's performance and future extensibility. I have made good progress on it and am working at full speed to get the next beta to you as soon as possible. The new release will be re-versioned to 2.0. While I am working on the plugin, here are some more of the new features coming your way. New Event List With the help of Leland from builtbyleland.com, we redesigned the ev ..read more

Hello everyone. I have posted the first public beta of Events Planner Pro v1.4 in the members area (please do not use this version in a production environment.)  Thanks to the huge amount of input and suggestions from you all, I think this version will be very well received by vast majority of the users. As this version has so many new things coming, I am going to break it down into a few posts. Users with the Advanced license will get access to the most powerful features. If your license has expired, please log into your account to take advantage of discounted renewal options. Under the ..read more

Hello everyone. Just in case you are not aware, WordPress 3.5 is out. I am delighted to say that there were only a couple of very minor things that I had to fix to make EP compatible with WP 3.5. 1) It looks like wpdb:prepare() statement now requires two parameters ( https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/22429 ). Both the PRO and Lite versions have been fixed.  This used to throw a PHP warning message. I have seen this mentioned in a lot of places for many plugins so chances are you will see it on your website. 2) A couple of minor js issues that were caused by jQuery 1.8.3 that is sh ..read more

Hello everyone. I am happy to say that version 1.3 is very close. Please read on to see some of the notable features that you will be getting with this release. A beta version will be posted in the members sections this week. All current PRO license holders will have access to this version. Registration Snapshot When you have a lot of registrations for many events, I am sure you have noticed how cumbersome it can be at times to see how many registered users you have for each event date and time. The new snapshot feature is a very powerful and convenient way for you to see what is happening wit ..read more

Hi everyone. I am very sorry to say but V3, in its current form, will not be available for release. As I was recuperating from my sickness last week, I contemplated long and hard and decided that the direction that I am taking V3 in is not the best one. The code is pretty good but I am afraid that if I continue, in a year or two I will be facing the challenge of another major code revamp. It is a very time and resource intensive process and I can't afford to take that wasted approach. With this said, here is the plan for Events Planner. I have directed my attention back to v2 and will be taki ..read more

Hi everyone. Very sorry for the delay with the new version. As with most software projects of this size, it takes longer and is much harder than anticipated. But hang in there a little longer as v3 is getting closer and closer to release. Here are some screenshots of the things to come. I am gunning to have a beta available by the end of this month.

Update (2017-01-03) Happy New Year everyone! I wish you and your loved ones all the best this year! A quick update on the v3. It is going very well. I am still very busy making the changes and will have a screenshot update most likely in about 2 weeks. Besides the major updates to the plugin, I am also working on the following. 1 - This website will be updated with a fresh theme and content. 2 - I will be moving away from the home built license management system and use Easy Digital Downloads instead. 3 - I will be adding a dedicated documentation section to this website before the v3 release ..read more

Update (2016-04-10) Hi guys. Version 2.1.0.6 is available to the members (login).  V2 development is still in full force. It is still awesome and in use all over the place. V3 is still in the works. With so many things that the plugin can do, you can  imagine how complicated it has become As a result, development is taking longer than anticipated. I currently don't have an ETA but am hoping to have it ready in the summer.  It will still have all the features of V2, with underlying code improvements as the most prominent change. Thanks, Abel   Hi everyone. Sorry for th ..read more
