If you\u2019ve read the article which I\u2019ve written about this topic, you\u2019ll notice that you\u2019ll have to install 4-5 plugins to get basic features. But this article will focus on one plugin because the plugin I\u2019m talking about is feature rich. Today I\u2019m going to talk about WP Event Manager, one of the best free plugins I\u2019ve come across.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, free plugins don&#8217;t come with so many free features and WP Event Manager surprised me there. Developers did a great job of identifying and segregating basic features and add-ons. It would have been a big no from me if I had to pay to create custom event fields. Trust me, I know a plugin which makes you purchase an add-on just to add basic details to the event. WP Event Manager only charges you for add-ons which I\u2019m pretty sure that are only required if you are making some money of your event.<\/p>\n<p>WP Event Manager is fully responsive, I found no weird errors while testing it on a Google Pixel and iPhone 6. A couple if other features are Recent, Upcoming &amp; Featured Events widgets, event categories, custom event fields, etc.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.viralmediatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/screenshot-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1590\" src=\"https:\/\/cms.viralmediatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/screenshot-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"742\" height=\"347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cms.viralmediatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/screenshot-4.jpg 742w, https:\/\/cms.viralmediatoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/screenshot-4-300x140.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 742px) 100vw, 742px\" \/><\/a><b>Out of the box WP Event Manager has the following features: <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multilingual Support<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completely Ajaxified for super smooth browsing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Searchable and filterable ajax powered event listings can be added pages via shortcodes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frontend forms for guests and registered users to submit &amp; manage event listings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow event listers to preview their listing before it goes live.
