The Events Calendar Community Events

Allow Users to Add Their Events to Your Calendar!

What Does It Do?

The Events Calendar Community Events plugin allows you to accept user-submitted events on your website, making it easy to manage event submissions while keeping full control over your calendar. This powerful tool provides a simple way for users to add their events without needing admin access, offering a streamlined process for community engagement.

Community Events provides an event submission form on the frontend of your website, allowing users to add events to your calendar seamlessly. Standard event fields enable them to input essential event details, and you can even give them the ability to add categories and tags based on your predefined settings.

With flexible plugin settings, you maintain complete control over event management. You can require users to register with your site before submitting events (or not), decide whether events are published immediately or saved as drafts for moderation, and determine whether users can edit their events after submission. The choice is yours – simply configure your preferences and let the event submissions roll in.
