Events Manager Extended is a great WordPress plugin that allows you to do all sorts of things events related on your website.
I recently was trying to figure out a way to only display an event end date if there was one, otherwise don’t display it at all. Luckily, Events Manager Extended has a feature just for that!
When you go to the Settings menu, you will see a “Default event list format” section. This is where you style the events in a list if you so choose. To have an end date add to your list only if there is an end date set, use the following code:
[events_if tag="#ESC_{j M Y}" notvalue="#ESC@_{j M Y}"] This date is only printed if different from start date: #@_{- j M Y} [/events_if]
This code checks to see if both the start date and the end date are different. If they are, then it displays the code inbetween the [events if] tags.
You are not limited to using conditional tags only in event lists. You can use them in most of the format settings of Events Manager Extended.
There are so many different ways to use these tags. To see more details on them check out the Events Manager Extended plugin site.
I’m the confused guy again. lol Does one use this plugin instead of a calendar on their site or as an internal calendar for planning blog posts? Do you have it on this blog where we can see it or is this something just for the publisher?
Hi Mitch!
This plugin is a way to manage physical events to display on a WordPress site. For example, if you had a website that displayed a calendar (or list) of upcoming events in the area, Events Manager Extended would be a great plugin to use to manage all of the events.
