Minimalistic Event Manager

This plugin (MEM or Minimalistic Event Manager) is intended for theme authors and developers who want a simple, robust and flexible solution for managing event dates. The MEM plugin offers a clean interface that allows to add event dates (start dates, end dates, repeating dates) to posts (and to any custom post type). The main features

• Event dates can be attached to any post type: Posts, Pages, Custom Post Types... (optionally, they can be restricted to specific content types).
• Event dates can be of three types: start dates, end dates, repeating dates.
• There is no mandatory date format: Time, Day, and Month are optional. An event date could be "January 2046", or just "2046".

What the plugin doesn’t do The MEM plugin works as a simple interface for entering those dates into custom fields, but it won’t do much on the public side of your theme (there's a simple widget for displaying a list of events). The plugin was created primarily to enable theme developers to create their own display of events on the front-end. If you aren’t sure how to achieve this, our wiki will provide a collection of examples to get you started. Technical implementation Technically, the MEM plugin stores the dates as ordinary Custom Fields, in a machine-readable format (such as "2016-11-23 13:37"). This gives you absolute freedom for displaying your events in your theme:

• You can query for specific date ranges by using the meta_key / meta_compare parameters.
• You can use the php date function to display the date in any possible manner (or date_i18n for proper localization).

Plugin options The plugin has two settings that can be modified with a few lines in your functions.php file:

• You can limit it to specific post types.
• You can use an "alpha" mode, which gives you a blank input field for each date. This can be useful if you need to enter dates that don’t fit the predefined format.
