 * I am giving 5 stars in spite of some quirks the person posting the events needs
   to be aware of. The plugin does what I need: it allows a very clear presentation
   of mutliple-day events for the Website end-user. From any day’s event page, one
   can see the other days that are part of the same class or ongoing event. Registration
   for a mutliple-day event only requires filling out the booking form once (not
   three times if the class meets over three consecutive Saturdays, for exmple).
 * What to know when you post ongoing events:
 * 1. Subsequent events are only created at the moment you publish the first day’s
   event. If you save as a draft instead, any ongoing events you just added to the
   editing screen are NOT saved with the draft.
 * 2. If you change the first day’s event from published to draft, the subsequent
   days will still be published and shown in the calndar and list of upcoming events.
   If the user opens one and clicks on “Day 1”, they will see a “not found” error
   message. If you open the editor for the initial event, you will still see the
   ongoing events (since they are still child events of the draft parent), and if
   you publish again, all should be well.
 * 3. An easy way to delete subsequent days en masse is to edit the initial event
   and change ongoing events from “yes” to “no.” Beware: This does NOT put them 
   into the trash; they are truly deleted.
 * 4. Clicking the Publish button creates a ticket type for each ongoing event date.
   Before clicking Publish, there is only a single ticket showing by default. Be
   sure to adjust the tickets AFTER you publish for the first time. If you want 
   people to be able to register for single days rather than the entire span of 
   dates, rename the ticket types to make it obvious, like “Traning Day 1,” “Traning
   Day 2,” etc. If you want users to register once for all days, delete the extra
   tickets so there is just a single line for tickets.
 * 5. If you change dates for the subsequent days, you may end up with an altered
   permalink. I managed to get one that ended with “-day-2-2” but when I changed
   the dates again, I had one ending with “-day-2” again. Usually this won’t matter,
   but you may want to check the permalink if you need consistency.
 * Given all the above, I still think it’s a great plugin if you need events to 
   span multiple days.
