Premier Event Management Plugin
A few months ago, I had the distinct pleasure of encountering your esteemed plugin during my company's endeavors to identify and test better alternatives to our existing event plugins, with a view to enhancing the management of our client's sites. I feel compelled to share that this plugin has, without any shadow of a doubt, become my definitive preference. Its polished code, flexibility, and admirable absence of unnecessary elements have left me quite impressed. I can, with confidence, say it stands unmatched to any other solution I have had the opportunity to review until the present day.

Too many extra features with main foo events to make this plugin useful
There are way too many features like event export, etc that I never use. Is there any way to hide them? I just want the calendar features. Also, is it possible to have a custom title other than the product title? My product titles are too long to fully display on the calendar.
