 * Hello,
    I would like to know if it is possible to display the status of an event:
   open, finished, cancelled, full etc. Thanks

 * Hello,
    You can use add below custom filter and refer to this [https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/overriding-event-page-content-with-filters/](https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/overriding-event-page-content-with-filters/)
   to check how the custom filters are added.

       add_filter('em_event_output_placeholder','my_em_event_status',100,3);
       function my_em_event_status($replace, $EM_Event, $result){
           if( $result == '#_EVENTSTATUS' ){
              $replace = $EM_Event->status_array[$EM_Event->status];
           }
           return $replace;
       }
       ```

 * Hello,
    Thanks, it works but it said “Approved” for a current event and still
   have space available. It should say “Open”. Is it possible to change this? When
   it’s no longer possible to book a ticket because the date has passed, the status
   stays on “approved” when the form says “Bookings are closed for this event.” 
   The status should read “Closed”. Any idead ?

 * You can try something like
 *     ```
       add_filter('em_event_output_placeholder','my_em_event_status',100,3);
       function my_em_event_status($replace, $EM_Event, $result){
           if( $result == '#_EVENTSTATUS' ){
       	   if ( $EM_Event->event_rsvp && $EM_Event->get_bookings()->is_open() ){
       		   $replace = 'Open';
       	   }
       	   else if ( $EM_Event->event_rsvp && !$EM_Event->get_bookings()->is_open() ){
       		   $replace = 'Closed';
       	   }
           }
           return $replace;
       }
       ```
