Add infos to The Events Calendar for WordPress

The good stuff

What really clicked was how simple it made adding context. I used the shortcode to drop in a “Learn more about the organizer” link below events, and it auto-formatted the text in italics - no extra styling needed. Clean, subtle, and just enough to guide people without shouting at them. The automatic suggestion for TEC categories? Huge time-saver. No more guessing which slug goes where. And honestly, it doesn’t slow anything down. Light as a feather, runs quietly in the background.

The not-so-good

Here’s the catch: if you delete the plugin later, those shortcodes stay in your content. They don’t vanish. I didn’t realize that at first, and ended up with a bunch of broken-looking placeholders in old posts. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind if you’re ever thinking of switching tools. Also, it’s not super discoverable - no UI beyond the shortcode block, so if you’re not already comfy with Gutenberg, it might feel a bit hidden. And yeah, the developer info is missing. That’s a red flag for some folks, though it hasn’t caused me any issues yet.

Bottom line

If you’re using The Events Calendar on WordPress and want to add small but useful bits of info - like links, copyrights, or category tags - this plugin does the job without fuss. It’s free, lightweight, and works exactly as promised. Just remember to clean up shortcodes before uninstalling. For anyone who’s annoyed by blank event pages and wants a tiny bit more control, give it a shot. You won’t regret it. Add infos to The Events Calendar for WordPress for Wordpress? Yep, totally worth the two minutes it takes to install.
