Description

Live Events is a live coverage plugin that publishes real-time updates of football matches and other sporting events, updating the reader’s browser automatically as the commentator records new plays in the panel. Designed for sports portals, fan sites and outlets that cover games minute by minute, it keeps the tracking within the WordPress post itself without relying on external iframes or third-party chat windows.

Main Features of Live Events

  • Real-time update
    New plays appear for the reader without the need to reload the page.
  • Chronological timeline
    Events stack from newest to oldest, styled like a timeline.
  • Play editor in admin
    Quick entry of each match occurrence directly from the WordPress panel.
  • Marked event types
    Allows distinguishing plays such as goal, card, substitution, foul and start or end of period.
  • Responsive layout
    Display adapted to mobile, tablet, and desktop to follow the game on any screen.

Benefits of Live Events

  • More time on site during the game
    The reader stays on the page following play by play, increasing session time.
  • Traffic concentrated on your own domain
    Coverage takes place on your WordPress, not on social media or third-party platforms.
  • Live audience monetization
    Allows displaying banners and advertising around the coverage while the match is happening.
  • Google-indexable coverage
    Match content remains saved as a post, indexed for searches after the game.
