== Description ==

Solve your problem by integrating Eventbrite events to display on your WordPress website, with this simple to set up, yet flexible plugin.
In a couple of minutes you can start seeing your Eventbrite events on WordPress without any custom code.

Eventbrite is undoubtedly a very easy and powerful way to set up an events calendar, whether for free events or ticketed events.
However, managing multiple events is an administrative burden and forgetting to update your event details manually may well cost you attendees and potential lost revenue.

This free plugin provides a display for Eventbrite using the API feed enabling you to show your forthcoming events, just like you would do for recent posts in an easy-to-use and familiar way.
If you want the most power and features there is a Pro plugin, which you can easily try for a trial period without obligation.

The plugin has 3 methods of displaying events:
* WordPress Block
* Elementor Widget
* Shortcode

The WordPress Block and Elementor widget enable you to get a realistic display of the layouts and settings within the editor.

The best part? Every time you add or update an Eventbrite listing, all the changes will appear on your WordPress website - no duplication of work or coding skills required.

This plugin uses the Eventbrite API to read directly from Eventbrite servers creating an event feed for Eventbrite. Don't be put off by the words API, that just means the plugin is linked directly to Eventbrite data - no rekeying, no extra data to manage, simplifying and automating your event marketing.

See an interactive [demo here](https://fullworksplugins.com/products/widget-for-eventbrite/eventbrite-shortcode-demo/)

What it looks like on your site will depend on your theme and any extra styling you want to apply. It will blend in as though the Eventbrite events are posts on your own site.

The plugin provides options to easily set different pre-defined color styles.

The plugin gives you easy but powerful control over how you show Eventbrite events.

Choice of two free layouts  - 'widget layout' and 'card layout'.

I'm sure you will find this plugin the best way of showing Eventbrite events on WordPress.
