The Events Calendar Community Events

The Events Calendar Community Events is a premium extension designed to transform your WordPress event calendar into a truly collaborative platform. Developed by the team at The Events Calendar, this tool allows your visitors, readers, or community members to submit their own events directly from the frontend of your site, without needing to access the admin panel.

This extension is intended for real stores, communities, associations, universities, civic organizations, and any brand that wants to centralize activity management without relying solely on the administrator. With Community Events, any registered user—or even visitors, if you configure it so—can complete a submission form with their event details: title, description, date and time, venue, organizer, featured image, and categories.

One of the great advantages of this extension is the total control you maintain over published content. You can configure submitted events to be published immediately or to require your prior approval through a moderation system. This way, you ensure that only events meeting your quality and relevance criteria appear on your calendar.

Integration with The Events Calendar is perfect and natural: when you install Community Events, a page with the submission form is automatically added to your WordPress site via a shortcode. Users can create new venues and organizers directly from the form, greatly facilitating the collaboration experience.

Additionally, the extension complements other tools in The Events Calendar ecosystem, such as Event Tickets, allowing users to create and sell tickets for the events they have submitted, with configurable revenue sharing. You can also define which user roles are allowed to submit events, giving you granular control over who can participate.

In summary, The Events Calendar Community Events is the ideal solution for any website that wants to encourage audience participation in event content creation while maintaining a secure and efficient editorial workflow.
