Features
Everything the WordPress events plugin should have shipped with
Five feature areas cover the full run of an event: publish it, collect RSVPs, register attendees, sell tickets, and let members submit their own. No addon shopping list.
Weighing this up against other options? Start with what a WordPress event plugin has to cover before it is worth installing.
Event calendar
Grid, List, Month, and Upcoming views free, each at a pretty URL. Pro adds Week and Day hour grids, plus ICS feeds and add-to-calendar.
ExploreRSVPs & waitlists
Going, maybe, and no with guest counts. Capacity caps, automatic waitlist promotion on free RSVP events, a name-and-email waitlist for sold-out paid events, custom questions, and magic links for guests without accounts.
ExploreEvent registration
The whole loop: form, questions, capacity, confirmation emails, and the Attendees & Orders admin. Pro adds door check-in.
ExploreEvent tickets
ProPaid checkout through Stripe, PayPal, or WooCommerce. Tax, booking fees, and coupons built in. No per-ticket platform fees.
ExploreFrontend event submission
Members create events from the /my-events/ dashboard. Approval mode, role gating, per-user limits, and a shared venue catalog keep it tidy.

The parts you notice later
The unglamorous features that decide whether a plugin survives year two on your site.
- Recurring events. Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly series with pre-computed occurrences. Free.
- Multi-group events. An event has a home BuddyPress group but can also be linked to other groups the organizer belongs to, and any link can be removed later.
- Venue & organizer catalog. Enter an address once, reuse it on every event. Profiles carry a photo, directions, contact links, and a Verified badge, and each has its own page of events.
- Undated and link-only events. Publish with "Date to be announced", or keep an event off every list and share only its link.
- Moderation inbox. Events waiting for approval and member reports in one screen.
- Per-event timezones. Each event carries its own timezone, with three display modes.
- Branded emails. Confirmations, magic links, cancellations, and waitlist promotions.
- CSV exports. Attendee lists per event and order records, injection-safe.
- Demo seeder. Fill a sample calendar from Tools or WP-CLI while you evaluate.
- Setup & Health. A checks screen that verifies required pages and scheduled tasks.
- 6 languages + RTL. Ships with six translations and right-to-left support.
- 18 blocks. Standard WordPress blocks that inherit your theme styles.
- 56 REST endpoints. Everything the plugin does is available under eventonomy/v1.
- WP-CLI commands. Manage events, occurrences, RSVPs, and demo data from the shell.
- Custom tables, no CPTs. Event data lives in 9 purpose-built tables, so big sites stay fast.
