What people are saying
Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆No support for Events Calendar, bug in software“I am very disappointed, that The Events Calendar and Event Tickets are now belonging to LiquidWeb. An important function of those plugins - selling tickets - is not working correctly anymore. Showing "sold out" when there are still tickets left. This is very bad and should be fixed asap. But support does not answer…”

Trustpilot★☆☆☆☆Kadence + The Event Calendar“It's been getting worse and worse since Liquid Web bought Kadence and The Event Calendar. Golden founder Ben Ritner. Sell Kadence and The Event Calendar back to those who can. This company is a huge waste. I will have to find another template and will no longer deploy Kadence on new websites.”
