Beskrivelse

EventAdmin is a simple yet powerful plugin for managing volunteers at events.
Designed for clubs, street festivals, and similar events — organizers create shifts, assign participants, or let volunteers sign up themselves.

Features:

Create shifts with time period, category, and min./max. volunteers
Public frontend: volunteers register, sign up for shifts, and manage their profile in one place
Volunteers can sign up and cancel themselves (with optional cancellation deadline)
Optional “Full shifts” section so volunteers can still see fully booked shifts (disabled by default)
Automatic checks: e.g. max. 2 shifts/year & no time overlaps
Manual creation and assignment of volunteers by admins — assign existing volunteers from a dropdown or create new accounts on the fly, including offline volunteers without an email address
Per-shift organizer name and email — override the global notification sender per shift
CSV export per shift or for all shifts
Admin overview with filters (upcoming/past/all, category, volunteer, date) and sorting
Dashboard statistics: registered volunteers, upcoming shifts, empty shifts, understaffed shifts, filled/open spots
Bulk email tool: send custom announcements to all or opted-in volunteers — processed in batches, with a real-time progress bar, delivery failure tracking, and a confirmation email to the sender
Volunteers can opt out of announcements via their profile page
Send history log with subject, message preview, recipient count, and failure count
Integration with Nextend Social Login

License

This plugin is free software under the GPLv2 or later.

Installation

Install the plugin via the WordPress backend or upload the ZIP file
Activate the plugin
Go to Pages Add New and insert the [eventadmin] shortcode — this is the main volunteer page (shows registration for new visitors, and the shift selector + profile for logged-in volunteers)
Create shift categories under Shifts Categories
Create your first shifts under Shifts Add New
Optional: create separate pages for [eventadmin_profile] or [eventadmin_shiftselector] if you want dedicated pages for those features

FAQ

Do volunteers need an account?: Yes, volunteers must be logged in to view and join shifts.
How can I assign volunteers manually?: In the admin dashboard under “Volunteer Overview” for each shift via form.
What happens when shifts are full?: By default, full shifts are hidden on the volunteer page. You can optionally enable a “Full shifts” section under Settings so volunteers can still see them (read-only, with a disabled button).
What is the minimum volunteers field for?: You can set a minimum number of volunteers per shift. The admin dashboard will highlight understaffed shifts with a warning. Enforcement (e.g. blocking the shift from appearing) is not yet applied – this is informational only.

Ændringslog

Version 0.9.5

Fix: Bundled translations now always take priority over language packs from translate.wordpress.org, preventing incomplete community translations from overriding the plugin’s own strings

Version 0.9.4

New: Assign existing volunteers directly from a dropdown when adding manually to a shift
New: Offline volunteers — add volunteers without an email address; a placeholder is created silently, no notifications sent
New: Per-shift organizer name and email — overrides the global notification address for both admin and volunteer emails on that shift
Fix: Duplicate assignment no longer possible when the same email is submitted twice (pre-check added)

Version 0.9.3

New: Admin overview sortable by date or name, ascending or descending
New: Admin overview stats now include empty shifts and understaffed shifts
New: Bulk email tool — send custom announcements to all or opted-in volunteers, with real-time progress bar, batch processing (25 per request), failed delivery tracking, and a confirmation email to the sender

New: Volunteers can opt out of announcements via their profile page (opted-in by default, existing users unaffected)

Version 0.8.0
