Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Event Shortcode allows you to easily place time sensitive content into a post or page, which is automatically removed when it expires. This could be an upcoming event, information or a link to a news item that will not hold its freshness. Place this shortcode in each post up to the date of the event.

The content will expire on the date and time you set. After that, the content is replaced by whatever text you specify or it can be left blank. This plugin offers a simple solution for sites where a full on event management system would be overkill.

Features include:

* Easy installation

* Simple interface

* Set it and forget it
