Display Eventbrite Events
Description
Solve your problem by integrating Eventbrite events to display on your WordPress website, with this simple to set up, yet flexible plugin.
In a couple of minutes you can start seeing your Eventbrite events on WordPress without any custom code.
Eventbrite is undoubtedly a very easy and powerful way to set up an events calendar, whether for free events or ticketed events.
However, managing multiple events is an administrative burden and forgetting to update your event details manually may well cost you attendees and potential lost revenue.
This free plugin provides a display for Eventbrite using the API feed enabling you to show your forthcoming events, just like you would do for recent posts in an easy-to-use and familiar way.
If you want the most power and features there is a Pro plugin, which you can easily try for a trial period without obligation.
The plugin has 3 methods of displaying events:
* WordPress Block
* Elementor Widget
* Shortcode
The WordPress Block and Elementor widget enable you to get a realistic display of the layouts and settings within the editor.
The best part? Every time you add or update an Eventbrite listing, all the changes will appear on your WordPress website – no duplication of work or coding skills required.
This plugin uses the Eventbrite API to read directly from Eventbrite servers creating an event feed for Eventbrite. Don’t be put off by the words API, that just means the plugin is linked directly to Eventbrite data – no rekeying, no extra data to manage, simplifying and automating your event marketing.

External services
This plugin connects to the following services. No website visitor personal data is sent to either.
Eventbrite – to fetch your events, using the Eventbrite API key you enter in the settings. Requests go from your server to www.eventbriteapi.com and include your API key, plus the organization, event and collection IDs being displayed. In the Pro plugin, the optional on-site checkout loads Eventbrite’s checkout script from www.eventbrite.com in the visitor’s browser. Eventbrite API terms of use, Eventbrite privacy policy.
EventKiln (optional) – only if you enter an EventKiln API key in the settings. Your server then fetches your organisation’s published, public, upcoming events from EventKiln (https://eventkiln.com) once a day (as often as your Eventbrite events are refreshed), and when you save the settings. Each request includes your EventKiln API key. In the Pro plugin, the optional on-site checkout loads EventKiln’s checkout script and checkout page from eventkiln.com in the visitor’s browser; EventKiln says these set no cookies and use no browser storage. In the Pro plugin, if your EventKiln API key has the webhooks permission, your server also registers this website’s webhook address with EventKiln so EventKiln can tell it when your events change; turn this off with the Instant updates setting. Nothing is sent to EventKiln until it is set up. EventKiln terms: https://eventkiln.com/terms – privacy policy: https://eventkiln.com/privacy

Lots of Options and Great Support
By Pat_Martinez on May 22, 2024
We purchased the High Powered version and it works great for our needs with some CSS customization to get it to look exactly like we wanted. We were pleased with all the various event display options. When we had questions, their support team replied quickly and thoroughly. Great Plugin and support!
Phenomenal plugin with top notch support
By condition cavu (tissa10x) on February 6, 2024
I did a LOT of research looking for ways to integrate Eventbrite with our WP site. This plugin went above and beyond my expectations. When I ran into an issue, Alan was extremely responsive. There’s no better way to add Eventbrite events to your site. PS: The shortcode builder rocks!
Top notch plugin. Outstanding support.
By karlbaker on December 15, 2023
This is the perfect plugin for integrating Eventbrite events into websites. It is powerful and flexible. The support is outstanding – fast and very helpful.
I am a long time Eventbrite user and publish a lot of events (over 260 per year). This plugin has allowed me to automate the process of publishing events to my wordpress site. This in itself has saved me a huge amount of time.
It has also improved the user experience and my sales volumes (conversion rates), because users can buy tickets without leaving my website.
The plugin itself offers an extensive range of options in terms of formatting, and which events to publish.
If these do not suit, extra filters can easily be added or support are able to assist with some customisation options.
Great Plugin – Amazing Support
