GREAT support

By johpg on April 11, 2024

Had some issues getting the events to display on my site.
Raised a support ticket and within hours everything was sorted.
Plugin is working perfectly now.

Best support I have ever had

By rolandvogt on September 4, 2023

My problem was quite a thing, making the plugin work with my WordPress theme of choise - Newspaper.

The support team really went beyond their ways to help me, and now everything works.

Love the support - great plugin

By annechristin on March 17, 2022

Easy to install and nice way to showcase my events. After some changes from FB's side I had to re-install the plugin and then needed support as I am unfamiliar with coding and such. The support team was super swift and professional and sorted the glitch, so now everything is running great again. Recommending them 100%.

Great Plugin

Very useful plugin if you want to add your fb events to wordpress. The support is also very helpful and fast.

Excellent Plugin

Great Plugin that successfully pulls in events from Facebook! Awesome!

Great customer support!!

I was trying to authorize this plugin with no luck. So after a few emails back and forth, one of their support reps actually scheduled a skype call with me where he solved my problem through one screen sharing session. Great service!!

Great plugin

By michaelm421 on November 15, 2018

With a working version now I can finally recommend this plugin again. Not that it was the developers fault as facebook was the culprit that caused all plugins like this to stop working

So long, and thanks for all the fish...

What was a great plugin, has been subjected to a change in Facebook Terms. While I want to support this plugin, it ultimately no longer works. There isn't much point downloading it but it was good while it lasted

Awesome plugin with great support

This is a fantastic plugin that mirrors facebook events with a very simple one line of Shortcode. The Xylus support team go waaay above and beyond to help webadmins if they have any trouble getting it working. I highly recommend this plugin.

Great potential here

By robmason38 on April 4, 2018

This is potentially a great plugin, but it suffers from too many intermittent failures. I've had it running perfectly on two web sites and one dev site. The dev site is a clean WP install with no other plugins used to eliminate problems caused by other plugins. The events plugin is fairly easy to setup (provided you apply quotes correctly!). However, the plugin will stop feeding events for no reason. ***Update 04/04/18 *** The devs are commended for their support, despite me using the freebie version. Seems there's some disruption with Facebook APIs, probably due to the recent high-profile privacy issues. Let's wait and see if the FB API issues settle down and this great plugin can really fly. Keep up the good work guys, and apologies for my earlier whining!
