Reviews
what people actually sayTimetable and Event Schedule by MotoPress is a visually capable scheduling plugin that earns loyalty from users who invest time learning its non-obvious setup, but it is consistently undermined by poor documentation, a steep learning curve, and a support team that draws sharp criticism for demanding full admin access and refusing refunds.
What people like
- +Once the setup logic is understood, users find it powerful and well-suited to scheduling classes, courses, and personal timetables×4
- +Responsive support that resolved issues quickly in some cases×3
- +Import/export functionality praised as useful
- +Free version offers premium-feeling quality without requiring an upgrade for core functionality×2
Common complaints
- −Steep, non-intuitive learning curve — the column-first setup model is confusing and poorly explained×6
- −Documentation is widely described as inadequate, unhelpful, or effectively empty×5
- −Support refuses refunds and responds slowly, with one user told to 'sell the plugin' instead×3
- −Support demands full WordPress admin access before investigating bugs, and closes tickets if access is refused×2
- −Events are limited to a one-year display window, which is not disclosed before purchase
- −No accessible list view of events — users must navigate month by month to review entries
- −Shortcode occasionally fails to render the timetable
- −Merge cells with common events feature reported as broken
