• The Events Calendar– A suite of plugins (see reference material)– Imports by event id (number in the URL) • No need to copy/paste • Register right on your website • https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/
From Cynthia Lockley, Washington DC – Baltimore chapter web diva • The Events Calendar is a suite of plugins. The main plugin, The Events Calendar, is free but you
need to pay for the add-on plugins that integrate with it and really make it work. We pay for the Events Calendar Pro plugin and The Events Calendar Eventbrite Tickets ($89 each but worth it).
• General information about it is at https://theeventscalendar.com/• The Events Calendar Pro plugin (
https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/) provides recurring events; premium support (the support forum is very helpful and answered by development support as well as user experts); week, map, and photo views of scheduled events; venue and organizer pages; default content; custom event attributes, etc.
• The Events Calendar Eventbrite Tickets plugin (https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-eventbrite-tickets/) lets you import your Eventbrite events. Eventbrite recently locked down their API to only allow PayPal and Google payments.
• There are other plugins you can buy for Community Events; Community Tickets; a different Tickets plugin that works with WooCommerce, Shopp, Easy Digital Downloads, and WP-Ecommerce; plus several more specialized plugins. See https://theeventscalendar.com/products/ for all their plugins.
