Event Management
Live, virtual, hybrid, multi-day, or a link to somewhere else entirely.
Create and run every event type your platform needs from inside WordPress, with no external tools, no brittle integrations, and no fragmented workflow between six systems.

What you can run
Everything available to you.
Six event types, all native, all connected to the rest of the platform.
Open
Free events
- Community meetups
- Open training sessions
- Member appreciation events
- No checkout, but still tracked and still scoring
Commitment
RSVP events
- Zoom calls and virtual workshops
- In-person sessions with capacity
- Hybrid, with both attendance types tracked separately
Commerce
Paid events
- WooCommerce ticketing and checkout
- Premium workshops, masterminds, and coaching intensives
- Subscription-linked pricing, so members pay less than guests
Extended
Multi-day events
- Conferences, retreats, and intensives
- Day-by-day attendance tracking rather than one attended flag
- Per-session RSVP inside a larger event
External
Custom link events
- Third-party webinars and specialty tools
- A platform you do not control, still on your calendar
- Attendance recorded manually or by return link
Roles
Who can create
- Owners and admins
- Coaches and faculty, for their own cohorts
- Group and team leaders, scoped to their group
- Members, where you allow it
Worked example
A weekly cohort call, set up once
It then runs itself for twelve weeks, including the parts nobody wants to do manually.
Event: Cohort 12 weekly call
Recurring, 12 weeks
Schedule
Coach creates it from the front end
No WordPress admin access issued, no ticket raised with you.
Schedule
Visible only to Cohort 12
A CRM tag decides. Nobody else sees it on their calendar at all.
Register
RSVP opens, reminders schedule themselves
Confirmation on signup, reminder 24 hours out, reminder one hour out.
Attend
Zoom syncs attendance back automatically
Including how long each person stayed, with no CSV reconciliation.
Reward
Attendance awards points and extends streaks
And the replay is posted for anyone in the wrong timezone.
Recipes
Three you could build this afternoon.
Let coaches run their own rhythm

Scope visibility rather than filtering it

Three things worth knowing.
Note
Decide who can create events before you launch. Retrofitting permissions after coaches have been scheduling is unpleasant.
Note
Recurring events need a reason to attend each week. A calendar entry is not a reason.
Note
Multi-day events should track each day. One attended flag on a three day retreat tells you almost nothing.
