Frequently Asked Questions

Yep! The Events Calendar provides the calendar, and Community adds the submission form for users to submit events to your calendar.

The Events Calendar is free and available to download in the WordPress plugin directory.

Absolutely, but this function requires a couple extra plugins.

In addition to Community, you’ll need the Event Tickets plugin, Event Tickets Plus, and WooCommerce. All of these plugins will connect to the Community submission form, allowing users to create tickets and RSVPs for the events they submit.

Event Tickets Plus is a paid add-on. Event Tickets and WooCommerce are both free and available to download in the WordPress plugin directory.

PS: You can also save by purchasing the Community Manager Bundle.

Yes. There’s a setting that puts all incoming submissions in draft mode, so you can check them before they’re published to the calendar.

Nope! Community integrates with reCAPTCHA, an industry standard for screening form submissions. It’s possible for spam to occasionally slip through, but the majority of spam submissions are blocked.

For additional protection, Community has a setting that requires users to sign into your site to submit events.

Once Community is activated, it automatically creates a new page on your site with the submission form. You can make changes to the page by creating a template override. You can also style Community pages to your liking.

If you’d like the form somewhere else, Community provides a shortcode to embed the form on any WordPress page, post, or custom post type.

Yes, and that’s one of the biggest benefits of Community. You can charge flat or percentage-based fees, and fees can be applied on a per-ticket or per-event basis.

Community also handles splitting the proceeds between you and the user that created the tickets. We call these “split payments,” and they’re a great way for you to monetize your calendar’s events.

Absolutely! With Community, you have access to a sales report that tracks sales and payments for your events.

You can even track payouts to event organizers, which is a great way to confirm how much users on your site are earning and whether their payments have successfully completed.

As the calendar owner, you can limit who is allowed to create tickets. By default, any registered user on your site assigned to at least a Subscriber role is able to create tickets on submitted events. You can change this setting to limit permission to other user roles.

They can, as long as they’re logged in when submitting events. Community provides a page where registered users can view and edit all of their submitted events in one place.

Community has a setting that enables notifications when new events are submitted. You can also use a snippet to notify the person who submitted the event when their event has been published.
