WPExplorer

<p>The Just Events plugin registers a new event post type (just_event) to your WordPress site for easily adding events. The plugin provides the basic functionality to add events to your site for those looking for a very minimal solution without all the extra bloat of “traditional” event/calendar plugins. For this reason you won’t find features like calendars, repeating events, tons of shortcodes, tickets, custom templates, etc.</p>
<p>This plugin works best with a “Full Site Editing” block theme so you can easily create your archives and single event templates using the included Event Date, Event Time, Event Status and Event Link blocks or with a compatible Classic WordPress theme such as our <a href="https://total.wpexplorer.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Total WordPress theme</a>.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Event post type.</li>
<li>Event fields for setting event details (all day, start date, end date, start time, end time and link).</li>
<li>Works with Block and Classic themes.</li>
<li>Uses theme templates and styles for a slim, fast and more compatible plugin.</li>
<li>Four useful blocks: Event Date, Event Time, Event Link and Event Status.</li>
<li>Two useful shortcodes: [just_events_event_date] and [just_events_event_time].</li>
<li>Option to hide past events from event archives.</li>
<li>Options to customize the event post type single and archive slugs.</li>
<li>Options to set your default event date and time format.</li>
<li>Options to modify the default formatted date and time separator.</li>
</ul>


Just Events


If you just need to display events that will automatically disappear after an end date/time this is the perfect plugin. It doesn't have features like recurring events, ticketing, etc., but a lot of times that's not needed. Great work on this plugin, WPExplorer team!
