The display options on the free version gave me enough additional control on the display of event feeds that I didn’t need to pay for the pro version of Events Calendar. Also, there was an issue with later events displaying on the full events list. I raised this in the forum and got a quick response. When their suggested actions didn’t fix the issue, I was advised to raise a support ticket, which I did. The team came through with a fix within a couple of hours. Very impressive considering I don’t have their pro subscription. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b05ee86e27b231d963d9bc867d101c45bfc2a645c9ceddbf31e2f0e0b3c70b7e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Invaluable help](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invaluable-help/)󠁿 [robin0369](https://profiles.wordpress.org/robin0369/) 03 December 2025 After experiencing issues with the module that I couldn’t resolve, the team offered to help and take direct action on my site, and they took the time to do so.
