Overview
Events held at several venues need more than a single address line. Visitors want to see where each event takes place, what else happens at that spot, and how to get there. This add-on gives every location its own page, so details live in one place and are easy to find. You can also mark venues as featured to put popular ones forward.
The display side runs on shortcodes. You can place a list or grid of all locations anywhere on your site, with maps embedded in those views. Ongoing events tied to each location appear under the shortcode, and you can list events by location or by speaker. It fits sites that already run Modern Events Calendar and need clearer venue presentation.
Features
- Single location pages: Each event location gets its own dedicated page, so visitors can read detailed information about a venue without searching through individual event listings.
- Optional location shortcodes: Use shortcodes to show locations wherever you want on your site, with options that let you adjust how the location content is laid out.
- List and grid views: Present all of your event locations in a clean list or in a grid format, depending on what suits your site design and your audience.
- Integrated location maps: Maps can be embedded directly in location listings shown in list or grid views, giving visitors geographical context for each venue.
- Featured locations: Mark a location as featured with one click to draw attention to important or popular venues within your location listings.
- Location-based event access: Restrict or grant access to events based on their locations, which gives you tighter control over which content reaches which visitors.
- Ongoing event displays: Events currently running at a location are shown under the shortcode, so visitors see what is happening at each venue.
- Events by location or speaker: List all events tied to a specific location or speaker inside your shortcodes, which helps visitors find the events they care about.
Best for
- Organizers running events across multiple venues
- Sites already using Modern Events Calendar
- Venue directories and conference or speaker event sites
