V4.x was realease 2 weeks after beta testing and was simply NOT production ready at all.
The whole data migration was broken. Live events not working anymore etc. Completely unusable and impacting Webshops and online buisinesses.
Since v4.0, I’ve been in almost weekly contact with support to get things sorted.
There were so many regressions that I’ve spent easilly 2 full days debugging and testing + tweaking for them.
2 security/patch updates that resulted on a critical issue 4.0.5 and 4.0.9 of the free version.
Styling is after almost 4 months still not applying the primary and secondary colors defined in the plug-in settings. The 3 available single page event templates are simply not using these and have a lot of plugin-in specific default colors you need to override in CSS. I mean, for buttons and so on, you should at least inherit from the theme used by the website…
v4.0.7 came out with a breaking change not documented in the release notes. Date format with / was not supported anymore while it worked fine in all previous versions. Again, impacting the whole site.
Since version 4.0.10 free made available in the past hours, the styling of the single page for free and pro was again changed. Previously applied CSS styling up to 4.0.8 is simply not taken into consideration anymore. Ugly + – buttons for quantity, attendee registration form also impacted with border styling and color changes.
And in the release notes, you can only read a few fixes.
Well next to the fixes you have a lot of impact on branding/styling which is bad for reputation.
And it introduced new bugs!
Existing published events with 2 ticket variations available for purchase had simply no ticket purchasing options displayed anymore. Needed to delete and create them again.
How can this be release as this would have broken the whole registration count per ticket if I did the update on the live website!!!
The registration limit date is nowhere to be found in the admin part of the event. But it is displaying a date coming out of nowhere which is even in the past but the tickets are still available for purchase.
I feel I’ve been a beta/quality insurance tester since june 24 for this plugin.
The promise is appealing and the marketing and affiliates have high praises. Looks like they never had to work with the plugin on a real website because honestly, it’s the only plugin I’ve ever used (and paid for twice) that is blocking me for making security updates on a customer website.
Let alone demanding a lot of effort to maintain a working website with the expecting look and feel update after update.
And it’s not like I’m using it for a complex use case. Simple offline events with 2 ticket variations on 1 website. No schedules, agenda, seat map, speakers, etc
And RSVP only on the second website.
Headhache for both thanks to Eventin.
Support is polite and apologising everytime. They better start fixing and stabilizing things instead of apologising foor the poor quality of their development and quality insurance work.
The home page didn’t load the content, and after removing the plug in it went back to normal.
]]>This behaviour must be to really poor quality code, and despite the fact I’m fixing it, it created a bloat of ids in the database, and hopefully will continue to work and not reset/mess again with variations by itself without notice.
]]>Does anyone know how I can fix these problems?

When I reported it to the developer, they told me to pay for the pro version and then they would help.
Why would I buy something that doesn’t work? I’ve paid for themes only to discover issues with plugins and such.
If a theme can’t get it’s front page to layout as pictured, it obviously has other major fundamental issues as well. Dodged a bullet here. Will keep looking for a theme that works.
When I told the developer that I wouldn’t pay for a theme already broken and would leave an “honest” review, this was the response:
“Can’t expect much from people like you.
Karma is a bitch, please keep a note!”
People like me? People who expect themes to work? I prefer to buy themes as they tend to be less work, but I won’t buy one that doesn’t work.
I’m guessing there are more “people like me” with these expectations.
]]>I’m trying to re-create /re-work my blog, bug i have some issue with pictures.
i clearly don’t understand why when i use gallery block or the single picture block, my images are with a really poor quality.
In the creation page i have no issue, but on the final page (or preview) the quality picture is really poor.
Do you know why?
Thx
