 * First off, great plugin, the WordPress community owes a huge amount to plugin
   developers like you and I think I speak for everyone using your plugin that this
   work is hugely appreciated.
 * If I could make a small suggestion it would be to update the documentation on
   GitHub relating to ‘private’ events. The main Query hides events that are underway
   which isn’t documented anywhere (I could see) and it tripped us up as it did 
   a few others in the support forum.
 * The documentation states “display_private: (boolean) Include user events marked
   as Private. Default is false.”
 * This is a bit misleading because turning this to “true” also seems to show events
   where the current date is between the event start and end dates. This perhaps
   isn’t the ideal solution as there may be occasions where someone wishes to display
   events that are underway but not events that are private so perhaps there is 
   scope to add another parameter to cover whether underway events are displayed
   or not?
 * Just a thought.
 * Thanks again

 * Great suggestion: [updated](https://github.com/Automattic/eventbrite-api/commit/4f2a0a6bac65ef2f22bf2931a7889ffd9c7a96e4),
   thanks!
 * Yes, the `event_search` endpoint is just live, public events, while the `user_owned_events`
   endpoint includes everything; this is why you’re seeing active events after they’re
   started. Ultimately, we’d like to move to using the `user_owned_events` endpoint
   for everything (which would also let us implement webhooks), it will just require
   a notable rewrite. We have no solid plans or ETA at this point for that work.
 * We’re glad you’re finding the plugin useful, thanks for the docs suggestion 🙂
