Eventonomy

Overview

Eventonomy is a community-first event platform for WordPress. It runs on custom database tables, a fully REST API-driven backend, and Gutenberg blocks powered by the WordPress Interactivity API, giving you fast, scalable events without the overhead of custom post types.

Who It Is For

Eventonomy is built for three roles that often overlap:

  • Site owners who want to run community events, meetups, workshops, or conferences on their WordPress site.
  • Organizers (members) who create and manage events, submitting details, handling RSVPs, tracking attendees.
  • Attendees (members and guests) who discover events, RSVP, bring guests, and subscribe to calendar feeds.

What the Free Plan Includes

The Free plugin covers a full event-management workflow:

  • Unlimited events - no cap on how many you create.
  • RSVPs - going / maybe / no / waitlist, with guests and an optional capacity cap.
  • Custom RSVP questions - short text, paragraph, dropdown, or checkbox, required or optional. The site owner writes one shared question bank; each event picks which of those questions it asks.
  • Guest RSVPs - name + email flow with a magic management link (no account needed).
  • Recurring events - daily, weekly, or monthly series with a materialized occurrence schedule. (Yearly, specific weekdays, "the last Friday of the month" and skip dates are Pro.)
  • Four views - Grid, List, Month calendar, and Upcoming; a view switcher lets visitors toggle between them.
  • Calendar feed - a subscribable ICS feed and per-event .ics download with "Add to calendar" links.
  • Shared Venue & Organizer catalog - reusable directory entries that any event can reference.
  • Member Dashboard - a /manage-events/ hub where organizers manage their events and RSVPs in one place.
  • Nine blocks - calendar, event-editor, events-list, manage-attendees, my-events, rsvp, search-filter, single-event, upcoming.
  • Full admin console - Command Center, Events, Attendees & Orders, Venues, Organizers, Categories & Tags, Blocks, Tools (importer and demo data), Setup & Health, and Settings. A Reports screen is present too, but it is a Pro surface: without Pro (or with Analytics turned off) it explains that reporting is part of Eventonomy Pro rather than showing data.

What Eventonomy Pro Adds

Pro features are marked with a Pro badge throughout this documentation.

  • Paid tickets with checkout: Stripe, PayPal, or your site's own checkout (WooCommerce).
  • Taxes, booking fees, and coupons.
  • Refunds plus a platform fee ledger and organizer payouts.
  • QR ticket codes - each attendee gets a scannable ticket for door check-in.
  • Week and Day calendar grids.
  • Maps and geocoding (Nominatim, Mapbox, or Google Maps).
  • Door check-in scanner.
  • Organizer analytics and a backend Reports screen.
  • Discovery feed and organizer following.
  • SMS notifications via Twilio with an optional phone field.
  • Custom reminder timing (the Free plan already reminds attendees 1 day and 1 hour before each event).
  • Custom email templates.
  • Conversion tracking (Google Analytics 4 + Meta Pixel).
  • Nine Pro blocks (under the separate eventonomy-pro/ prefix): checkin, day-view, discovery-feed, follow-button, map-view, member-events, organizer-analytics, photo-grid, week-view. Four of them - discovery-feed, map-view, organizer-analytics and member-events - only register once their feature or integration is switched on, so a default Pro install shows five.
