## Description

> Requires [Events Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) (free
> plugin) to be installed & activated.

Unfortunately, you sometimes have to cancel a planned event. In Events Manager it
can be quite cumbersome to make sure you have done everything. This add-on makes
that extremely easy!

Just change the Post Status to “Cancelled” and this add-on will automatically:

 * Close the Booking Form by adjusting the Event cut-off time to the timestamp of
   cancellation;
 * Change the Event Category to the new “Event Cancelled”;
 * Change the Booking Status to the new “Event Cancelled” for selected booking statuses;
 * Send the new “Event Cancelled” Email to notify your customers.
 * After cancelling an event, it will still be visible in the front end, but the
   booking form will be closed. This prevents 404-errors for visitors and search
   engines.
 * Refunding online payments remains a manual procedure.

This add-on is fully integrated with the Events Manager Dashboard. These new options
will work exactly the same as the built-in ones.

### Supports EM in Global Tables Mode

If you are running Events Manager on a WordPress MultiSite with Global Tables Mode
enabled, you will probably have noticed that (by default) some features are missing
on the sub-blogs. Unlike what the EM Dev told me, it _is_ possible to filter the
Admin Events List per Event Category if Global Tables Mode is enabled.

Since version 2.0 this add-on is (almost) fully compatible with that. The _only_
thing still missing, is selecting Events Categories in the Quick Edit menu on sub
blogs. But all other features of this add-on run smoothly.

**Compatibility with [EM – Ongoing Events](https://wordpress.org/plugins/stonehenge-em-ongoing-events/):**

If you cancel a main event, all sub events will be cancelled as well, but if you
cancel a sub event, the rest of this Ongoing Series will remain unchanged.

#### How to test it?

Simply create a test event like any other. Publish it and add yourself as a participant.
Then set the test event to “Cancelled” and watch the magic happen.

## FAQ

### Are Refunds automated?

No, if you cancel an event refunding the online payment has to be done manually.
Events Manager allows for many Payment Gateway add-ons and all work differently 
behind the scenes. Also, refunds might be subject to your General Terms & Conditions.

You could consider offering your customer to [Move the Booking](https://wordpress.org/plugins/stonehenge-em-move-bookings/)
instead.

### Is this add-on compatible with EM Ongoing Events?

Yes, it is. If you have [EM – Ongoing Events](https://wordpress.org/plugins/stonehenge-em-ongoing-events/)
installed and cancel the Main Event, all Sub Events will be cancelled as well. If
you cancel a Sub Event, only that occurrence will be cancelled, leaving the rest
of the Ongoing Series as is.

### Are you part of the Events Manager team?

**No, I am not!**
 I am not associated with [Events Manager](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/)
nor its developer, [Marcus Sykes](http://netweblogic.com/), in _**any**_ way.
