More about the Events Calendar here: https://ideaspot.com.au/theeventscale... • full post at: https://ideaspot.com.au/blog/free-wor... • The Events Calendar by Modern Tribe is by far the most popular events plugin for WordPress. Does this make it the best one? Possibly! • Part of the reason there are so many active installs is that it’s bundled with some popular themes. Most notably, Avada theme uses this plugin for it’s event calendar functionality. • If you look at Theme Forest, you can see all the themes that come packaged with the Events Calendar. • Here is a good example: You can check out the pre built Avada ‘Church’ site here. • You can see that the style of the list view and calendar view looks awesome straight out the box. The only issue is that Avada is a premium theme, but the price is probably justified when it saves a lot of work. You get your events displayed in beautiful layouts without having to dedicate effort. • The free version has a lot of fucnctionality and is very developer friendly. • It also has Front end submission included in the free version – allowing users to submit events. A great feature that is often only included in pro packages. • While the plugin didn’t include any options for tickets and bookings – it’s probably not a big deal. The same company offers another plugin called Event tickets (available here). The free version of this will allow you to sell tickets from your own site! • The free version uses their own payment processing system (Tribe Commerce). This will allow you to recieve your ticket sales payments to your own PayPal account. We didn’t get to test this feature yet but we’d assume there would be some small processing fees here. That would allow it to be a free feature. • Of course, if you want to process the payments yourself with WooCommerce, this is possible. But, you’d need to upgrade to the premium version to get this function. • While we mentioned above – you can get great results when packaging this plugin with a premium theme. You can also get great results using any page builder (Elementor, Gutenberg, Brizy etc.) • Through adding another plugin, you can get pre made short codes and templates. We found these to be well styled and super easy to set up. Check it out here: • The Events Calendar Shortcode and Templates • Conclusion: The Events Calendar has the best FREE feature set among WordPress events calendar plugins • In conclusion, we had a very good experience with this plugin. At any level, from WordPress newbie to advanced developer – there is good value here. • This was the only complete solution that allows you to have: • Well styled, pre-designed event displays • User event submission (Submit events from the front end of the site) • Sell tickets directly from your site • While you do need three separate plugins. It is possible to manage this without resorting to coding or custom CSS. • At IdeaSpot, we support the free and open exchange of knowledge and information.
