 * Hi I’m sorry to bring this up out in the open. I don’t mean to cause damage to
   your work, but I couldn’t find anywhere to write to you in private.
 * Vaultpress has flagged this plugin. I don’t understand the message, but maybe
   they can be contacted with more details.
 * The message is:
    _PHP.Generic.BadPattern.6 This code pattern is often used to
   run a very dangerous shell programs on your server. The code in these files needs
   to be reviewed, and possibly cleaned.
 * The file is: event-list/includes/daterange.php
    Hopes this helps you to continue
   to deliver a great plugin.
