Want to be listed as an implementation partner?

We want to add a page dedicated to implementation partner and WordPress developer/designer. You can get listed on this page, if you like. It is free and we will forward users that need help with implementing special behavior to this page. So you can get new customers and support the plugin 🙂

Please send an email to [email protected]. We need your name/company name, website, what you are (developer, designer, etc), with what you can help regarding the plugins (serial and/or event) – the idea is that people with issues, like designing a ticket template with twig or so, can get help from you. If you have default prices (hour, project or so) then we can add them also to the page. I will have to evaluate a bit, so that the quality can be checked. We cannot ensure your listing, if it does not match with the needs of our customer and the relevance to my plugins.

In case you want to revert your basic plugin version:

You can download the old basic plugin from the advance tab on the plugin website. Install it manually via the plugin area.

Upload the zip file to your WordPress installation using the plugin area.
