As you know recently Facebook has restricted API for all so no plugin are able to fetch Event from Facebook. They are launching updated API with new approval process so it will take time to get adjusted to new API and approval process.

We have updated our Facebook Event Plugin so you can show Facebook Events from Facebook Page to your WordPress site using Social Widget. It use Facebook embedded code  so you will not be able to make changes in display but you can show your Facebook Page event on your WordPress site.

How to do it
–  Download & Install Facebook Event Plugin from WordPress.org Here.
–  Add Facebook App ID & Secrete Key in Facebook setting of plugin
–  SortCode can used to display event in any page/post using sortcode OR you can use widget to display event in any sidebar/widget area.

Demo Example how this will look is below:
[fb_event_widget page_url=’https://www.facebook.com/redbull/’ width=’490′ height=’500′ hide_cover=’false’ hide_cta=’true’ small_header=’true’]

Change page_url to your Facebook page and it should work fine.
It will look like this

FAQ
—————————————————————

  1. Hi,

    I was so happy to get a temporary solution to Facebook Events not working. But… The shortcode doesn’t do anything for me… any ideas?

    With regards,
