FAQ
- I can’t see the settings panel, where is it?
-
The plugin requires admin account to change the settings for this plugin. Please contact administrator.
- I do not wish to display the event meta before the post content?
-
There is a setting in the admin panel that will remove the event details inserted before content.
- Is there anyway of displaying event details within the content of the post?
-
Super simple events has a 4 shortcodes that can be inserted into content of post to display events details. These shortcodes are
[sse_start_date], [sse_end_date] , [sse_location], [sse_time] - I am getting 404 pages when I go to a event page, how do I fix this?
-
This is an issue with WordPress code and registering custom post types. The url rewrite engine doesn’t recognise the url. A work around is to go to Settings > permalinks and press save changes. Just by saving changes, it will flush the rewrite rules and events should display.
