## Description

**GigPress is back!** After years of being dormant, the WordPress plugin for managing
live shows has been rebuilt from the ground up. Whether you relied on the original
GigPress or are discovering it for the first time, **GigPress Reborn** brings everything
you loved back to life — a modern gig listing and tour dates plugin, rebuilt for
today’s WordPress.

Looking for a GigPress alternative or replacement? GigPress Reborn is the successor
to the original GigPress plugin. Whether you are a musician, a band, a DJ, a comedian,
a speaker… or any kind of performer, GigPress Reborn helps you manage and display
your live shows using simple shortcodes.

The plugin uses native WordPress custom post types for Shows, Artists, Venues, and
Tours, giving you a familiar editing experience with full support for revisions,
trash, and bulk actions.

#### Features

 * **Show management** — Create shows with date, time, artist, venue, tour, ticket
   URL, external link, notes, and status (sold out or cancelled).
 * **Artists, Venues, and Tours** — Manage reusable artist, venue, and tour records
   linked to your shows.
 * **Shortcode** — Display upcoming, past, or all shows anywhere on your site with
   the `[gigpress_reborn_shows]` shortcode.
 * **Three display templates** — Choose from list (card-style), table, or classic(
   inspired by the original GigPress) layouts.
 * **Sidebar widget** — Show a compact list of upcoming shows in any widget area.
 * **Customize to your liking** — You can override any of the templates. Paste them
   into your theme’s `gigpress-reborn/` directory to customize the output.
 * **Customizable labels** — Rename “Show”, “Artist”, “Tour”, and more from the 
   settings page with ease.
 * **CSV import and export** — Bulk import artists, venues, tours, and shows via
   CSV. Export your data at any time.
 * **Legacy migration** — Migrate data from GigPress v2.x with one click.
 * **Sticky defaults** — Optionally pre-fill artist, venue, and tour fields based
   on your last entry.
 * **Onboarding** — A dashboard widget guides you through initial setup.

#### Shortcode Usage

    ```
    [gigpress_reborn_shows]
    ```

Parameters:

 * `scope` — `upcoming` (default), `past`, `today`, or `all`
 * `artist` — Filter by artist slug or ID
 * `limit` — Maximum number of shows to display
 * `sort` — `ASC` (default for upcoming) or `DESC`
 * `template` — `list` (default), `table`, or `classic`

Examples:

Show the last 10 events with the table template:
 [gigpress_reborn_shows scope=”
past” limit=”10″ template=”table”]

Show upcoming shows for the artist with the slug “the-foo-bars”:
 [gigpress_reborn_shows
artist=”the-foo-bars” scope=”upcoming”]

## FAQ

### Does this plugin replace the original GigPress?

Yes. GigPress Reborn is a full rewrite that stores data as native WordPress custom
post types instead of custom database tables.

### Can I migrate my data from GigPress v2.x?

Yes. If the plugin detects legacy GigPress tables in your database, it will offer
a migration option. Your legacy data is not modified during migration.

### Can I customize the front-end templates?

Yes. Copy any template file from `plugins/gigpress-reborn/templates/` into your 
theme at `your-theme/gigpress-reborn/` and modify it as needed.

### What timezone does the plugin use?

GigPress Reborn uses your site’s timezone as configured in **Settings  General  
Timezone**.

### Can I use this for multiple artists?

Yes. You can create as many artists as you need and filter shows by artist using
the shortcode’s `artist` parameter.

### Does GigPress Reborn have all the features of the legacy GigPress v2.x?

Almost. The plugin has been rewritten to be more efficient and modernized. There
are still some features missing, which will be added soon.
