This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/germantampabay/gasf-events/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater, so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.

A lean, native WordPress events plugin for the German American Society of Tampa — built to replace Modern Events Calendar (MEC) plus its third-party Facebook importer and the stack of must-use (MU) patch modules.

Status: under active construction, built in the background. It is fully isolated — own gasf_event post type, temporary /gasf-events/ URL slug, _gasf_* meta, gasf_events_* options. It does not touch MEC, the MU plugins, the theme, or any production data. The live site keeps running unchanged until a single deliberate cutover. See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.

What it does (target)

  • Owns event data as a clean gasf_event model (single start/end datetime, status, cover, single venue/organizer — no MEC cruft).
  • Renders the four views the club actually uses: month grid, upcoming list, signage tile, single-event page — semantic HTML + CSS variables + minimal JS, so it prints and the kiosk can consume it.
  • First-class month printing (US-Letter landscape), visitor add-to-calendar (Google/Outlook/Apple/.ics + kiosk QR), and full Event JSON-LD SEO.
  • Native Facebook import (replacing the 3rd-party importer + MU band-aids) and three-way FB → WP → Eventbrite sync, all gated OFF until cutover.
  • Recurring events as a lightweight flat-but-grouped series, an All Events admin list with bulk actions, and per-event view stats.

Public API
