Interstrategy Events Manager

<p>Requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/" rel="ugc">Events Manager</a> (free plugin) to be installed & activated.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, you sometimes have to cancel a planned event. In Events Manager it can be quite cumbersome to make sure you have done everything. This add-on makes that extremely easy!</p>
<p>Just change the Post Status to “Cancelled” and this add-on will automatically:</p>
<ul>
<li>Close the Booking Form by adjusting the Event cut-off time to the timestamp of cancellation;</li>
<li>Change the Event Category to the new “Event Cancelled”;</li>
<li>Change the Booking Status to the new “Event Cancelled” for selected booking statuses;</li>
<li>Send the new “Event Cancelled” Email to notify your customers.</li>
<li>After cancelling an event, it will still be visible in the front end, but the booking form will be closed. This prevents 404-errors for visitors and search engines.</li>
<li>Refunding online payments remains a manual procedure.</li>
</ul>
<p>This add-on is fully integrated with the Events Manager Dashboard. These new options will work exactly the same as the built-in ones.</p>
<h3>Supports EM in Global Tables Mode</h3>
<p>If you are running Events Manager on a WordPress MultiSite with Global Tables Mode enabled, you will probably have noticed that (by default) some features are missing on the sub-blogs. Unlike what the EM Dev told me, it <em>is</em> possible to filter the Admin Events List per Event Category if Global Tables Mode is enabled.</p>
<p>Since version 2.0 this add-on is (almost) fully compatible with that. The <em>only</em> thing still missing, is selecting Events Categories in the Quick Edit menu on sub blogs. But all other features of this add-on run smoothly.</p>
<p><strong>Compatibility with <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/stonehenge-em-ongoing-events/" rel="ugc">EM – Ongoing Events</a>:</strong><br />
If you cancel a main event, all sub events will be cancelled as well, but if you cancel a sub event, the rest of this Ongoing Series will remain unchanged.</p>
<h4>How to test it?</h4>
<p>Simply create a test event like any other. Publish it and add yourself as a participant. Then set the test event to “Cancelled” and watch the magic happen.</p>
<h3>Feedback</h3>
<p>I am open to your suggestions and feedback!<br />
