Attribution is disabled by default. The plugin interface and in-dashboard manual currently use Swedish source strings with translation support. This readme uses English for the WordPress.org directory. All scripts, styles and demo illustrations are bundled locally. No external service, tracking, license key or payment is required. This free plugin has no time limit. This is the first stable release of Exvent Free. ## Screenshots [⌊Event grid with category filtering, exhibition opening information and Show more.⌉⌊ Event grid with category filtering, exhibition opening information and Show more .⌉[ Event grid with category filtering, exhibition opening information and Show more.

Upload the plugin ZIP using Plugins Add New Upload Plugin. 2. Activate Exvent – by Xonet. 3. Create an event in Exvent. The excerpt supplies the card summary; the main editor supplies the popup description. 4. Add [exvent_events] to a page. 5. Configure display and design options in Exvent Settings. An in-dashboard manual is included. Use a Text element in Flatsome UX Builder or a Shortcode element in Breakdance. These builders require validation on your own website. No other plugins are required. ## FAQ ### How do I display events? [exvent_events] The defaults are three columns and twelve events per batch, unless changed in Settings. [exvent_events columns=”2″ limit=”6″] overrides these defaults for one grid. ### How do I display a category or a separate archive? [exvent_events view=”archive” filter=”no”] [exvent_events category=”your-category- slug” filter=”no”] [exvent_events category=”your-category-slug” view=”archive” filter =”no”] Use the category slug from the category administration screen. filter=”no” hides both the view selector and category filter. The older category=”arkiv” shortcode remains supported. show_past=”yes” displays all dates in ascending order. ### How do dates and archiving work? The WordPress timezone is used. Without an end time, an event stays visible until the end of its start day. With an end time, it stays visible until it ends. Events without a valid start date are not displayed. Archiving runs when the grid is rendered, in administration and through hourly WP-Cron. WP-Cron depends on site visits. Page caching can delay updated output; use a short cache lifetime for the events page. Moving an event into the future removes the automatically assigned Archive category. Other categories remain. The optional exhibition opening date is informational and does not affect sorting or archiving. ### How does Show more work? The button reveals cards already loaded on the page, separately for each grid, and disappears when all matching events are visible. Without JavaScript, all matching events are displayed. Changing the category or view reloads the page and resets the visible batch. Category and view selections apply to all grids with filter=” yes” on that page. ### What happens when I remove demo data? Only events with Exvent’s internal demo identifiers are moved to the trash, including edited demo events. Your own events, categories and media are retained. Reimporting skips existing demo events, including events in the trash. Restore them from the trash or permanently delete them before reimporting. ### Does the plugin include booking or payment processing? You can link to an external booking page. The free version does not include an internal booking system, payments or recurring events. ### What happens on uninstall? Events, categories, settings and media are retained. Scheduled archiving stops on deactivation. Reinstall the plugin to restore the event administration screens. Back up your site and media separately. ### Are shortcodes executed inside event descriptions? Formatted content is supported, but shortcodes inside event descriptions are not executed. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Exvent – by Xonet” is open source software.
