Basic and a bit buggy

For a free plugin, I guess it’s okay. Probably the best option if you don’t want to spend money on a timetable plugin. But it still takes some time to figure out how it works and to decide at what, in your use case, should be an event. In the case of a conference or workshop, intuitively, you’d think that the conference is the event and it is possible to set it up that way. But the better option is probably to define single sessions as your event (and if you have recurring sessions of the same type, they can be timeslots within that event).

Anyway, once you figured it out, it basically works. Except that I had some issues with layers on my website. Some of the events in the time table ended up above the sticky menu while others slid through underneath (as it should be).

The biggest limitation, however, is that this plugin doesn’t allow you to have parallel sessions and the header image on www.remarpro.com is missleading in that respect as it shows a timetable that clearly has such a parallel event. (I know, MotoPress will say that you can create parallel events by creating two columns for the same day and selecting the option that merges identical events across columns, but that is not the ideal workaround since in the back-end it will lool like you have two parallel sessions even if these in fact represent the same single session.
