Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Go to Settings -> BP Simple Events and enter your Google Maps API Key. If you don’t have a Key – See the FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Google Maps API Key?

Yes, if you select to use that option. If you need help, read this tutorial Google Maps API Key

I created a future event but it shows only in Archive folder

This is due to a difference between English and European preference re date format.

The fix is simple.
Open this file in a text editor:
bp-simple-events-pro/inc/js/events.js

Find: dateFormat: ‘DD, MM d, yy’

For Europe, change it to: dateFormat: ‘dd-mm-yy’ Or whatever you prefer

You will then need to :
* upload the edited events.js file
* clear your browser cache ( just the files ) to insure that the js file reloads
* edit any existing Events and reset the date

MultiSite support?

No.

Calendar support?

Yes – if the Calendar supports assigning custom post types

Can I remove the option to assign a Category ?

Yes, by using the filter hook.
Place this function in your theme > functions.php

    function pp_events_category_filter( $args ) {
        $args = array( "child_of" => -1 );
        return $args;
    }
    add_filter( "event_cat_args_filter", "pp_events_category_filter", 1, 1 );

For me useless

I created a thread in Forum but without help that is for not programmer. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/menubars-are-gone/ Also other threads with same issue waren't really supported. This plugin destroys the layout of my site. Kippis is really an easy and old theme. What a pity because Events could be a strong enrichment for Buddy Press :(
