Overview
Keeping a busy calendar full usually means typing in every listing yourself. This plugin shifts that work to your community. People submit events with details and images through a form on your site, and the entries flow into your calendar without manual data entry on your end.
It works with The Events Calendar core plugin, so you keep editorial control through publishing and moderation settings. It also connects with Event Tickets Plus and WooCommerce, so organizers can sell tickets while you collect fees or split payments. It fits community portals, organization sites and membership platforms.
Features
- Front-end event submission form: Visitors submit events through a simple form on your site, adding details and images, so your calendar grows from community contributions instead of manual entry.
- Publishing control and moderation: Choose whether submitted events go live right away or wait for your review, so you can keep the calendar accurate and relevant.
- Anonymous or registered submitters: Allow anonymous submissions or limit event posting to registered users, depending on how open you want your community contributions to be.
- reCAPTCHA spam protection: Submission forms work with reCAPTCHA to help guard against spam and automated bots, which keeps unwanted entries out of your event feed.
- Ticket sales with fee collection: With Event Tickets Plus and WooCommerce, organizers can sell tickets on your site while you collect fees or share revenue from those sales.
- Flexible fee structures: Set fees per ticket, per event or per sale, and either include them in the ticket price or show them as a separate line.
- Saved venues and organizers: Limit submissions to pre-approved venues and organizers, or let your community add new ones, to keep your event data consistent.
- Notifications and form placement: Get email notices when new events arrive. Use the generated submission page or place the form anywhere on your site with a shortcode.
Best for
- Local community portals that want resident-submitted events
- Organization and membership sites with many event contributors
- Site owners who want organizers to sell tickets
