Best Events WordPress Plugins
6 plugins · 1.0M combined installs · 4.1/5 avg rating
Events plugins extend WordPress with the tools needed to create, manage, and promote events — from single local gatherings to recurring webinars and large-scale conferences. They allow site owners to publish event listings with dates, times, venues, ticket prices, and RSVP or ticketing functionality directly within WordPress. Many events plugins include calendar views, Google Maps integration, iCal/Google Calendar export, online event support for virtual or hybrid formats, and structured data markup so events appear in Google's event rich results. They are used by event organisers, community groups, educational institutions, entertainment venues, and any business that regularly hosts public or private events.
