## FAQ
### Are there any troubleshooting steps you’d suggest I try that might resolve my issue before I post a new thread?
First, make sure that you’re running the latest version of The Events Calendar.
If you’re running Events Calendar PRO or any other add-ons, make sure those are
current / running the latest code as well.
The most common issues we see are either plugin or theme conflicts. You can test
if a plugin or theme is conflicting by manually deactivating other plugins until
just The Events Calendar is running on your site. If the issue persists from there,
revert to the default [Twenty Twenty](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/)
theme. If the issue is resolved after deactivating a specific plugin or your theme,
you’ll know that is the source of the conflict.
Note that we aren’t going to say “tough luck” if you identify a plugin/theme conflict.
While we can’t guarantee 100% integration with any plugin or theme out there, we
will do our best (and reach out the plugin/theme author as needed) to figure out
a solution that benefits everyone.
### I’m still stuck. Where do I go to file a bug or ask a question?
Users of the free The Events Calendar should post their questions in the plugin’s
[WordPress.org forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar/),
which we visit about once a week. Please make sure to read [our sticky post](https://evnt.is/19oc)
providing an overview of the support we provide free users BEFORE posting. If you
find you’re not getting support in as timely a fashion as you wish, you might want
to consider purchasing a license for Events Calendar Pro.
If you’re already an Events Calendar Pro user, you’re entitled access to our actively-
monitored [Premium Support](https://evnt.is/1aju) on our website. We can provide
a deeper level of support here and hit these forums on a daily basis during the
work week. Generally, except in times of increased support loads, we reply to all
tickets within 24-48 hours during the business week.
### What’s the difference between The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro?
The Events Calendar is our cornerstone plugin, and it’s required in order to run
any of our premium calendar add-ons, including Events Calendar Pro, Community Events,
Filter Bar, and others.
In other words, Events Calendar Pro runs alongside The Events Calendar and enhances
it with extra features, including recurring events, additional calendar views, calendar
shortcodes, advanced widgets, custom event fields and more.
### What add-ons are available for The Events Calendar, and where can I read more about them?
The following add-ons are available for The Events Calendar:
* [Events Calendar Pro](https://evnt.is/18wi), for adding premium calendar features
like recurring events, advanced views, cool widgets, [shortcodes](https://evnt.is/1ajw),
additional fields, and more!
* [Event Aggregator](https://evnt.is/197u), a service that effortlessly fills your
calendar with events from Meetup, Google Calendar, iCalendar, Eventbrite, CSV,
and ICS.
* [Event Tickets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-tickets/) (free), which allows
you to sell tickets and collect RSVPs to events. It can run alongside The Events
Calendar or as a standalone plugin that adds ticket and RSVP functionality to
WordPress posts and pages.
* [Event Tickets Plus](https://evnt.is/18wk), which allows you to sell tickets
for your events using your favorite e-commerce platform.
* [Promoter](https://evnt.is/1ajt), automated email communication made just for
The Events Calendar and Event Tickets. Stay in touch with your attendees every
step of the way.
* [Community Events](https://evnt.is/2g), for allowing frontend event submission
from your readers.
* [Filter Bar](https://evnt.is/fa), for adding advanced frontend filtering capabilities
to your events calendar.
* [Eventbrite Tickets](https://evnt.is/2e), for selling tickets to your event directly
through Eventbrite.
### Can I import events to my calendar?
Yes! The Events Calendar has a built-in CSV import tool. If you want to step it
up and automatically import events from Google Calendar, Meetup, Eventbrite and
more, check out [Event Aggregator](https://evnt.is/197u).
### How do I sell tickets to events on my calendar?
You’ll want to use our [Event Tickets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-tickets/)
plugin for that. This free plugin works alongside The Events Calendar and lets you
create RSVPs and tickets for events. Event Tickets integrates with PayPal so you
can collect payments for tickets, while our premium solution, Event Tickets Plus
fully integrates with WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads. If you want to include
digital tickets like Apple Wallet passes and PDF tickets check out [Event Tickets Wallet Plus](https://evnt.is/etwp).
### Can I have more than one calendar on my site?
Unfortunately, no. However, you can use [event categories](https://evnt.is/1bay)
or tags to create calendar views that only display certain events. For example,
you could create a direct link to a calendar view that only shows events categorized
as “Fitness,” [like this example from our demo site](https://evnt.is/1ajv).
With [Events Calendar Pro](https://evnt.is/18wi), you can use [shortcodes](https://evnt.is/1ajw)
to embed your calendar on other WordPress pages and posts, then filter that calendar
by category.
### Can I allow people to submit events to my calendar?
This is available with the [Community Events](https://evnt.is/2g) add-on to facilitate
submissions. Install Community Events alongside The Events Calendar and a page will
be added to your WordPress site with a form that visitors can use to submit events.
As the calendar owner, you have full control over whether event submissions are
published immediately or require moderation first.
If you want to let users sell tickets for the events they submit, check out [Community Tickets](https://evnt.is/18wl).
It runs with The Events Calendar, Community Events, and Event Tickets and empowers
visitors to create and sell tickets, splitting the profits with you.
### What’s the difference between The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro
The Events Calendar is our cornerstone plugin, and it’s required in order to run
any of our premium calendar add-ons, including [Events Calendar Pro](https://evnt.is/18wi),
[Community Events](https://evnt.is/1bax), [Filter Bar](https://evnt.is/fa), and
others.
In other words, Events Calendar Pro runs alongside The Events Calendar and enhances
it with extra features, including recurring events and event Series, additional
calendar views, calendar shortcodes, advanced widgets, custom event fields, a duplicate
event tool, and more.

### [Fast and helpful support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fast-and-helpful-support-38/)
[Sea Jay](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jcollier/) July 30, 2026 1 reply
After installing TEC on a new site, we had missing tables and, after investigation,
we found a problem in the site’s database. The troubleshooting and help screens
provided useful information and then TEC support — both free and commercial — stepped
us through a further diagnosis. The response was within hours. Impressed.

I’m not a computer guy, so its been a challenge for me to get WordPress events and
Promoter to work in sync. Darian has been responsive, helpful, and patient. Much
appreciated!
### [Terrible with Liquid Web](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terrible-with-liquid-web/)
[David Tierney](https://profiles.wordpress.org/big-dave/) July 12, 2026 1 reply
I’ve been a long-time user of The Events Calendar Pro, and for years it served my
clients somewhat well – not great, but well enough to stick with it. (Issues until
now have been that the plugin is a massive drain on hosting resources and their
version upgrades break things.) Since Liquid Web took over, the experience has deteriorated
significantly — not with the plugin itself, but with everything around it: licensing,
support, and pricing transparency. Here’s what I’ve run into: The license dashboard
gives two conflicting answers in two different places — one showing the license
as expired, another showing it as active. Acting on the download link provided,
I downloaded what was labeled as version 7.8.0 of Events Calendar Pro. When I attempted
to install it, WordPress identified the actual plugin version inside the zip as
5.14.5 — significantly older than the 7.7.14 already installed on my site. I was
nearly prompted to downgrade without realizing it. I submitted a support ticket
four days ago with these details. I received an automated acknowledgment and nothing
since. On pricing: it’s genuinely unclear whether existing single-plugin license
holders are being migrated to the new bundle pricing (which is roughly three times
what we were paying) or whether we can continue renewing at the previous rate. The
dashboard and communications don’t answer this clearly. There seems to be only one
way to pay for my license and that is to pay for a full software bundle at 3 times
the price. I’m not writing this to be harsh — I understand that acquisitions are
complicated and transitions take time. But for working professionals managing client
sites, a broken license dashboard, a mislabeled download, and four days of silence
from support aren’t minor inconveniences. They affect real client work. And from
looking online, it looks like none of this is just me. The issue with Liquid Web
has led me to seek another solution.

### [Terrible Block Editor integration!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terrible-block-editor-integration/)
[Alexandre Buffet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alexandrebuffet/) July 9, 2026

It had been years since I last used this plugin, so I decided to give it another
try. I was genuinely hoping things had improved, but I came away quite disappointed.
As a WordPress developer, I found the latest version unnecessarily complex and frustrating
to work with. Simply activating it produced numerous PHP warnings in my development
environment, which immediately raised concerns about code quality and attention
to WordPress best practices. The biggest disappointment, however, is the Block Editor
integration. Astonishingly, it’s not even enabled by default, you first have to
find and enable an option to use it. In 2026, that’s hard to understand! Unfortunately,
enabling it doesn’t improve the experience much. It doesn’t feel like a native WordPress
experience at all. Event metadata is tightly coupled to the plugin’s blocks, so
if you remove those blocks from a Single Event template, you also lose the ability
to properly edit the event’s metadata. Rather than integrating with the Block Editor,
the plugin forces you into its own awful editing model. The blocks themselves don’t
behave like native, composable WordPress blocks. Their UI feels inconsistent with
the rest of the editor, the icons are oversized and visually out of place, and the
overall editing experience feels clunky rather than seamless. Overall, this plugin
feels more like a large legacy framework layered on top of WordPress than a plugin
that embraces Gutenberg conventions and philosophy. It offers many features, but
at the cost of simplicity, consistency, and developer experience. I can’t recommend
this plugin in its current state. I hope the team behind it takes this feedback
seriously and rethinks its approach to WordPress integration.
### [The best calendar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-calendar-4/)
[jrslam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jrslam/) July 2, 2026 1 reply
I confess that after an upgrade that I was not aware of, the events calendar started
behaving badly. Tech-support couldn’t quite figure out what was going on, so I shopped
around for a different calendar program. I must honestly say nothing compared. So
my solution was to contact Claude AI, and Claude solved the issue. The Events Calendar
is awesome, and I could not find anything that was a close competitor. The problem
I encountered was partly my own doing in customizing it, so it wasn’t surprising
that tech-support couldn’t figure out what had happened, but it’s all resolved and
I’m back very happy with it.
