The Events Calendar – The Events Calendar Community Events

Description

The Events Calendar Community Events add-on enables front-end event submissions, adding a public form to The Events Calendar for the event title, date, time, venue, organizer, description, and other details. With this additional component, communities, schools, producers, and organizations can receive external submissions without creating administrative users, while maintaining editorial review before publication on the calendar for projects with collaborative event schedules.

The Events Calendar Community Events adds a public submission workflow to the event structure already used in The Events Calendar, keeping data organized within the same calendar ecosystem. The extension is recommended for projects that need to open their event schedule to external contributions without turning every contributor into an administrative user, while preserving review, submission consistency, and control over what will be published.
