Some websites that use WordPress as a CMS display information about future events. But keeping the list of events current is a pain. So this plugin simple displays a list of all future events. To be listed, an event must have its own post or page. To tell the plugin that the page is an event, you add a custom field (if you can’t see custom fields and you’re using WordPress 2.7+, you may need to add it by selecting screen options). Add a custom field with the name event_date and the value YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2009-02-03 for 3rd February 2009). Then save the page. To ouput the list of events add the text [events_list] to any post or page. You can see a demo at the [Evangelical Movement of Wales](http://www.emw.org.uk/events/en/). As I said, it’s very simple. There are no options to tweak, no settings to change. But if it’s what you need, you won’t want to change anything! ## Screenshots * [[ * **Adding the custom field:** ## Installation 1. Download the plugin, and unzip it. 2. Place the simple-events-list folder in your wp-content/plugins folder and upload it to your website. 3. Activate the plugin from the plugins tab of your WordPress admin. 4. Create a WordPress post or page with the text [events_list]. The plugin will display your events on this page. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8665de9d64b89c443dd37c03c7def3788f5c5fab2b696bc81bb4705d0fa238f9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Boo](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/boo-2/)󠁿 [Matthew](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kidsguide/) February 7, 2017 This sucks [ Read all 1 review ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-event-list/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Simple Events List” is open source software.
