If you’re building an event directory or community calendar on WordPress, one of the biggest challenges is keeping it filled with up-to-date, relevant events—without spending hours manually copying listings.

With the WP Event Aggregator plugin, you can automatically import events from Eventbrite, Google Calendar, Meetup, and even Facebook, then display them in a unified calendar using your favorite event plugin like The Events Calendar, Events Manager, or All-in-One Event Calendar.

In this post, we’ll answer some of the most common pre-purchase questions and walk you through how WP Event Aggregator works.

✅ Can I Display Events from All Sources in One Unified Calendar?

Yes! One of the best features of WP Event Aggregator is that it lets you combine events from multiple sources into a single, date-sorted calendar view.

Unlike some demos that group events by source, your calendar can show:

• Today’s events from Eventbrite, Google, Meetup, and Facebook
• Then tomorrow’s events from any source
• And so on…

You have full control over how events are displayed.

🔌 What Plugins Do I Need?

To aggregate and display events from different platforms, you need:

• ✅ WP Event Aggregator – This is the core importer plugin.
• ✅ Any compatible event calendar plugin, such as:
  • The Events Calendar
  • Events Manager
  • All-in-One Event Calendar

Choose the calendar plugin that best fits your design preferences and feature requirements. WP Event Aggregator integrates with all of them.

🔁 What Event Data Gets Imported?

WP Event Aggregator imports all key event details from your sources:

• Title
• Description
• Categories & Tags
• Start/End Time & Date
• Location
• Latitude and Longitude (if available)

This data is formatted correctly for your calendar plugin, so all native features—like search, filtering, and radius-based location search—will work out of the box.

If your calendar plugin supports filtering by tags, venue search, or event categories, those features will apply to imported events too.

🔄 Can the Import Be Fully Automated?

Absolutely. You can schedule automatic imports from each event source, including:

• Facebook
• Google Calendar
• Meetup
• Eventbrite

You can set imports to run:

• Hourly
• Twice a day
• Daily
• Weekly

No manual work is needed once it’s set up.

⚖️ Is It Legal to Import Events from Other Platforms?

This is a great question. While WP Event Aggregator simply imports publicly available or feed-based data, you should always follow the terms of service of the platforms you’re pulling events from.

General guidelines:

• ✅ Use public or API-approved feeds
• ✅ Give attribution when required
• 🚫 Don’t claim ownership or resell the content without permission

If you’re unsure about compliance, consult a legal advisor—especially if you’re running a commercial directory.

💾 Will 500 Events Slow Down My Website?

Not likely. Events are stored as WordPress custom post types with metadata, so they don’t take up much space.

With a setup like:

• 4 GB RAM
• 60 GB Disk
• 2 CPU Cores
• 4 TB Bandwidth

You should comfortably handle 500+ events—unless you’re also running heavy plugins or high-traffic features.

🧹 How Do I Remove Expired Events?

Expired events can be automatically cleaned up using:

• Built-in tools (depending on your calendar plugin)
• Scheduled clean-up scripts
• Third-party plugins like WP Crontrol or custom cron jobs

No need for manual bulk deletion.
