Comment on EOL for Custom Post Permalinks by Devin Walker

Sounds like frustration to me! I completely understand.

“Your plugin broke my site” … typical response. Anyways, I’m having an issue with my custom permalink structure and pagination (another common occurance) and stumbled upon this page.

Keep writing plugins, some people are just haters at heart.

The biggest difference I can see with EE and EMP is the integration with PayPal and the like, As I understand it EE integrates fully with Paypal Pro allowing on site transactions while EMP only supports Paypal standard. I’m going to be using one of these for a client very soon so if there’s anything else I’ve missed feel free to shoot me down in flames…..

Hi John,
There’s another plugin that seems about as powerful as Esspresso. That’s Event Manager Pro at http://wp-events-plugin.com/events-manager-pro/. (there’s a free version too).
Esspresson and this seem to be very similar in the wordpress space. I am not technically great and most of the documentaion for both seems to assume a bit of knowledge, and while both of these products seem to do much the same thing to me, I’m wondering if you would have some thoughts by way of a comparative review.
Cheers,
George.

Hi Florian,

I’d be happy to hand the repo off to you. Please let me know your wordpress.org username (it’s case-sensitive if I remember correctly) and I’ll ask Nacin to resurrect the plugin’s page and make you a committer for the plugin.

SEO capability? I think it’s a non-issue. The question I would ask is “why should that be a concern?” If the events are popular and people want to go to them, they will find the event listing without SEO optimized URLs; if not, the problem is bigger than SEO.

Then again, I think of anybody who tells people to care about anything other than quality content as the internet equivalent of snake oil salesmen, so take my opinions with a grain of salt in this area.

Hi John

What is your feedback in terms of the plugin’s SEO capability?

I love the forward thinking of the plugin with mobile ticketing etc. But on comparison with Events Manager I noticed that it lacked SEO Permalinks.

As you have actually implemented the plugin I would be interested in your experience of it.

Kind regards

Elaine
