GigPress is a WordPress plugin built specifically for touring bands. As a website developer who was often building websites for independent bands -- and always using WordPress as CMS of choice -- I was constantly frustrated by the lack of a simple, viable method of incorporating live shows and tours into these websites. So I decided to brush up on my PHP and build my own.

Features

GigPress incorporates all the common requests you might have for a plugin of its ilk, including:

• [NEW] Associate each show with a WordPress post
• [NEW] Duplicate shows for quicker entry
• [NEW] Undo the last-deleted show or tour
• Fully internationalized - includes French, Spanish, Dutch, German, Swedish, Italian and Polish language files
• Ability to list both upcoming shows and past shows, chronologically rolled-over as tour dates pass
• Grouping of shows into nameable tours
