Venue Check

Venue Check will check for venue conflicts when adding an event. You can also include setup and cleanup time before and after the event. The setup and cleanup time will not display on the events calendar but will be included into the venue conflict checking.

Requires The Events Calendar (4.4.5 or greater) by Modern Tribe.

This plugin will work with “The Events Calendar” or “The Events Calendar PRO” but it currently does not support the recurring events feature available in the PRO version. This will be available in a future version of Venue Check.

I hope you find this plugin useful. If you find any bugs or have any feedback of any kind, please contact me.

1. Upload the venue-check plugin to your /wp-content/plugins directory, or upload and install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
3. Please note that when deleting the plugin any setup and cleanup times you added with the Venue Check plugin will also be deleted from the database.
4. The plugin does not have any settings. It adds functionality when adding an event with “The Events Calendar” admin. Look for the setup time and cleanup time controls in the Date & Time section when adding a new event (see the screenshots for an example).

How do I know if the plugin has been installed?

You can see “with Venue Check” on the admin screen Date and Time section when adding or editing an event.

After I insall it for the first time, what happens if I already have venue conflicts? Does it check for existing conflicts?

Venue Check will show conflicts for existing events or when editing an existing event, but it will not prevent any existing conflicts you had before activating Venue Check.
