    I am testing this on your demo page. How do I get the event title to show up?

    Also, the end time doesn’t appear either. Just the start time. Is this by design?

    Please read the doc on how to configure the events. In this the “single event format” is the one you want to adapt, using placeholders to your liking.
    See https://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/category/documentation/7-placeholders/7-2-events/
    Also the event title is normally shown when looking at an individual event, but your theme of choice needs to be wordpress compliant.

    Thank you for your prompt response to my question. That is a huge plus. Right now I’m just using your demo site to put in a sample event.

    I believe my WordPress site is WordPress compliant. All I’m looking for is a simple, lightweight plug-in not laden with graphics. I’d like to add recurring events. I’d like to have it display on the events page as a calendar or in list view. It be great to have some widgets which would list out a simple bullet list of say the next five events with a link back to each of the events. As a bonus it would be great to put in a meeting URL if it’s a online event.

    I will look around to see if that indeed is documented somewhere and try to give it some more time.

    EME has widgets (calendar and list), so it can do what you want. All the doc is here (with a video to get you started): https://www.e-dynamics.be
    Also: it is not “my” demo site, it is tastewp that provides this 🙂

    I am really trying, but it is still a fail. And am struggling to follow the video.

    I installed plugin on my staging site.

    To begin with, I already have a page called events. I want to leave it alone for the time being. But EME created one, and WP named it events-2. It also put at the top This page is used by Events Made Easy. Don’t change it, don’t use it in your menu’s, don’t delete it. Just make sure the EME setting called ‘Events page’ points to this page. EME uses this page to render any and all events, locations, bookings, maps, … anything. If you do want to delete this page, create a new one EME can use and update the EME setting ‘Events page’ accordingly.

    Instead, I created a page “Test Events” and put the shortcode [eme-events], went to EME settings> events and pointed it to the new page and now when I view it, it’s blank and in edit it says at the top This page corresponds to Events Made Easy events page. Its content will be overriden by Events Made Easy. If you want to display your content, you can can assign another page to Events Made Easy in the Settings.

    And then finally, there’s this on the settings page: The EME SEO permalink settings are conflicting with an existing page (the permalink setting for either events, locations or categories is identical with the permalink of another wordpress page). This might cause problems rendering either events or that page. Please resolve the conflict by either changing your EME SEO permalink settings or the permalink of the conflicting page. The conflicting page can be edited here. With here pointing to the original events page that I don’t want to mess with right now.

    This is really hard to understand at such a basic level.

    If you want to show events (using e.g. the [eme_events] shortcode) on a regular page, just do that: use that shortcode on a regular page. You don’t need to change that setting in the eme settings. That special page is exactly as the warning says …
