I had tried a few other event calendar plugins. Crazy complicated. Took forever to add an event. And forget about explaining it to a client. If they could figure out these plugins they were probably building their own website too.
My client just wanted to say, Business networking mixer Thursday evening at this pub,” or something equally simple. I needed a plugin for a basic event listing that I could setup easily and then build a small cheat sheet for my client to carry on from. This plugin solved the problem.
Thank you.

This plugin is awesome. It simply works without bloating your installation (I look at you, The Events Calendar!). However, users should understand what “simple” means. The plugin gives you everything to create a fully working events calendar, but not everything you might want to have. It is not simple to use for the absolute beginner. Shortcodes are not everybody’s cup of tea. For me it’s perfect, and I gladly give 5 stars!
Custos to the author! Keep up the good work!

I needed something to list events for a radio station. That’s it. No fancy calendar or bookings. It needed to be simple enough that I could install it, set it up, do the initial data entry, give them some screenshots with basic instructions, and let them do the rest. They’re happy, I’m happy, everybody wins.

Like many users, I’ve tried a number of event type plugins and found most of them bloated, clunky and unintuitive. This one takes a simple approach by setting up events as a new post type. Shortcodes work well and support a number of different attributes for flexibility. Easy to style and is integrated with site builders and the customizer out-of-the-box.
I’ll be adding this to my list of go-to plugins from now on. Excellent work!

Thank you. I tried a few of these types of plugins before settling on your one. Suits my needs perfectly.
Thanks.

I’ve been using VSEL for more than a year and it’s just the great. So customisable, so lightweight. Beats the pants off the competition in terms of simplicity. So many bloated calendar/event plugins do all sorts of things that I simply don’t need. Moreover, the support from Guido is quick and friendly. Can’t ask for more!
I can’t recommend this enough if you need something simple like telling people about upcoming events on your website.

This plugin worked well right out of the box. It was very straightforward to create the same look as the demo.
When I wanted to add a field, the plugin author was very responsive with a helpful suggestion.

If you’re looking for a solid slim plugin to display your events with shortcodes, easy to customise with css and good support. Give it a try.

I’ve tried many calendar/events plugins. This one is powerful! Easy to use and customize. A major plus is the RSS feed which allows me to automate to other platforms. Excellent plugin and highly recommended.

Exactly what we wanted, light weight and no fluffy stuff. Saved writing a custom plugin for the same thing.
Tested with a block theme, works well in 6.2.1

Does what it says, without any bloat. Events are easily added in the custom post type and displayed via the shortcode. Enough options to customize the display style.
Dank hiervoor!

Finally a plugin that I can use. I feel like I tried a hundred plugins, all adding billions of unnecessary functionality with loooooads of bugs. This one is simple, extendible and I you ever drop support I will be able to easily maintain it myself… Just saves some work not having to add custom fields, logic and custom fields. And I can use it with my favorite Builder without problems (Bricks). No need to overwrite a lot of CSS.
That’s what I was looking for and what I finally found.

This is exactly what I was looking for, just a simple event plugin without bloat. Works very well for me, even works with Polylang out of the box.

I mean what is this? How to work with this? How to create an event? Where is the form to work with events?
Claiming to be “Very Simple” and being such a mess. Meaningless plugin.

A simple plugin, perfect for a simple event list and easy to use.

Thank you Guido for this for this excellent plugin. It does exactly what it should with no fuss. The shortcodes covers everything I need in terms of flexibility, and I was able to have it exactly how I wanted in no time at all.
I read on your website you are not actively developing this plugin anymore, but I hope you continue to support it as you hope to do.

Great to work with – possibility to integrate it seamlessly into the design. No conflicts what-so-ever. Easy to manage. For people who just want to announce an event, zoom-meeting or action-day.

The plugin is simple as the maker says, simple but efficient.
It does everything I need.
The support is excellent.
Rating: 5 stars
… and perfect for my needs:
Just show events with date, time, description, image and more – if you want.
Easy to style.
Put it in a HTML-Block not to show “code”-Tags.

Thanks for the plugin. I just disabled it because it really falls short on a couple of reasons.
First, why use Gutenberg as the editor for this post type? Gutenberg is the most hated editor ever (don’t believe me, just check their reviews). If it wasn’t forced on us, 9/10 would disable it.
If you are going to use Gutenberg, why not use Gutenberg custom fields so the custom fields is seamlessly integrated into the editor? Right now there’s just this ugly looking metabox in the bottom of Gutenberg on Events.
Second reason is kind of the same topic. As a UX and PHP developer myself, i don’t understand why the time field is a textfield where you expect a from-to input, formatted in a specific way. This is such bad practice, and honestly the reason i ditched the plugin because it didn’t seem professionally developed in my opinion (sorry i am very sceptic in my plugin choice).
I really suggest you use the browser-native time field, and separate from/to fields in 2 separate fields. It will also make custom querying against the DB alot easier.
I hope you take this review as constructive critisism and not as an attack.
Best luck in the future.

If you don’t need all the blows and whistles that the big event plugins have, this is the best. Hands down. I tried a few, and this is simply amazing to work with.

VSEL works perfectly with my website built with Thrive Theme builder and Architect. (Note I posted on the support forum that I thought it was not working with Thrive but it turned out to be a fault with my monitor! )
I was after a list view with image thumbnail, VSEL is exactly what I needed. It is simple to install with excellent and easy to follow instructions.
I love that it integrates perfectly, using my sites themeing instead of imposing a boring or overly complicated horrible page of its own styling.
I did not want crazy over the top features, I just wanted a simple event list which still looked good. I highly recommend VSEL.
Support is fantastic also… If you need a question answered.

I use this plugin extensively for creating lists of events in a variety of formats (I use CSS to control the formats). I did not need an all-singing-all-dancing event/booking plugins and this one has been be ideal for my needs.
Support is awesome. I raised a support query asking about if it was possible to have different date formats in different lists and within a few days Guido has implemented that!
Kudos!

I was looking for a simple uncluttered event manager that would automatically move upcoming to past, provide simple listing capabilities, and be totally intuitive for non-techies to use. This is all of that! Perfect.
