I really like this plug-in! There are a few things that would make our use of the software more stream-lined.
We have members volunteer for many different tasks during our summer camps. The tasks are time-based. For example, they work a breakfast shift from 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM. They volunteer for the task for the duration of their stay (as many as 9 days and as few as 3). It would be nice if our members could sign up for a block of times/days instead of one at a time.
We would also like to be able to send a single confirmation email for the member’s signups. If they sign up for 9 days they only get a single email vs. 9 separate emails.
The terminology “Event Chairs” doesn’t apply to our organization. We would like an option to change that title.

The “Event Chairs” text, and pretty much all other public side text, can be easily changed, or hidden, using the Customizer extension.
The current data structure is not really setup to allow the kind of repeating signups you are wanting, and single email notifications. I’m stuck with an old data structure from the original plugin from another developer that I forked into the current main/free plugin for our needs for my son’s school PTA website a long time ago. I’ve expanded on it a bit, but it’s not really a good database design.
I’ve been working on a new “Events and Signups” plugin, where I’m starting over from scratch with a much better database structure and better object oriented coding. For that I’ll have true repeating style events, where signups can also repeat (optional), and much better organization overall, plus many features that are now extensions to the old plugin will be built-in (calendar, custom fields, etc.). But, that’s quite a ways off from being ready for release.
