Live Events

Following a live event usually means refreshing a page over and over. Live Events changes that. New timeline entries, updated statistics and fresh user comments show up on their own, which keeps readers on your site while the action unfolds. It fits sports events, conferences, political elections, TV shows, product launches, breaking news and live podcasts.

The look of the live display is up to you. Over 95 settings cover colors, typography, social media icons and layout scaling, so the feed can match your branding. The layout responds to different screens and resolutions, and the plugin also works on WordPress multisite networks. Timeline items include an HTML field, and a TinyMCE editor can optionally be applied to it.
