Reduce no-shows by sending multiple, granular automated email reminders (configured by days and hours) to your Event Espresso attendees.

== Description ==

**Multiple Event Reminders for Event Espresso** is a powerful add-on designed to extend the communication capabilities of Event Espresso.

While the standard notification system is great, complex events often require a more robust reminder strategy to ensure attendance. This plugin solves that problem by allowing you to schedule **multiple email reminders** with precise timing.

Stop worrying about "no-shows" and start engaging your attendees at the right moment.

### Key Features

* **Unlimited Reminders:** Create as many notification instances as you need for a single event.
* **Granular Precision (Days & Hours):** Unlike standard tools that might limit you to days, this plugin allows you to mix and match.
    * *Example:* Send a "Preparation Guide" **2 Days** before the event.
    * *Example:* Send a "Link to Join" **1 Hour** before the event.
* **Automated Workflow:** Built on top of the native WordPress cron system for reliability. Set it up once, and it runs automatically.
* **Native Integration:** Works directly within the Event Espresso event editor interface.

### How it works

1.  Go to your Event Espresso event editor.
2.  Locate the new "Multiple Reminders" meta box.
3.  Add your reminders, define the timing (e.g., 24 hours before), and customize the message.
4.  Save the event. The plugin handles the rest.

### Requirements

* WordPress 5.8 or higher.
* Event Espresso Core plugin installed and active.
* EE Automated Upcoming Event Notifications Add-on plugin installed and active.

2.  Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3.  Ensure you have **Event Espresso** installed and active.
