ACF Events Manager
A lightweight WordPress plugin that renders event dates/times from Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) using the shortcode [eventdate]. Useful when you manage events with ACF instead of a full events plugin.
What it does
- Provides a shortcode [eventdate] that outputs a friendly date (and time) range based on ACF fields on the current post.
- Handles both single and recurring events.
- Supports all-day events by omitting the time portion automatically.
Requirements
- WordPress 5.6+
- PHP 7.4+
- Advanced Custom Fields (free or Pro)
Installation
1. Download or clone this repository into your WordPress wp-content/plugins directory as acf-events-manager.
2. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins and activate “ACF Events Manager”.
3. Ensure your posts (or custom post types) have the ACF fields defined below.
If ACF is not active, the plugin will not activate and will display a message asking you to enable ACF first.
ACF Fields Expected
On the event post, the shortcode expects the following ACF fields. Field keys and return formats can vary; names are what matter here.
- alldayevent (Checkbox, True/False, or Select)
- Interprets truthy values like “Yes”, “True”
