Description
The simplest way to showcase Eventbrite events on your WordPress site.
This plugin helps bridge the gap between WordPress and Eventbrite, while retaining the great user experience that Eventbrite provides. Your events live on Eventbrite where they belong — this plugin simply displays them with a beautiful, modern design.
Why Choose Blocks for Eventbrite?
🪶 Truly Lightweight
Unlike traditional event plugins, we don’t create WordPress posts, custom tables, or complex database structures. Your events are fetched directly from Eventbrite and intelligently cached for blazing-fast performance.
🛒 Seamless Checkout Experience
Using Eventbrite’s embedded checkout, visitors can register and pay without ever leaving your website (SSL required). No redirects, no friction — just conversions.
🎨 Beautiful Out of the Box
Modern card-based design with clean typography, subtle shadows, and smooth hover effects. Each event displays the image, date, venue, price, and a quick-details tooltip — all styled to look great on any theme.
⚡ Smart Caching
Events are cached using WordPress transients, refreshing every minute. Your site stays fast while always showing up-to-date event information.

FAQ
-
What do I need to use this plugin?
-
Just an Eventbrite account with organizer permissions. The plugin connects directly to your Eventbrite organization to pull your events.
-
Where do I get an API key?
-
Log into Eventbrite and visit eventbrite.com/platform/api-keys to generate your private token.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No! Events are cached locally and only refreshed once per minute. Your pages load from cache, not from Eventbrite’s servers on every request.
-
Does the checkout really work without leaving my site?
-
Yes — as long as your site has an SSL certificate (https://), visitors can complete their registration and payment in a modal overlay. No redirects needed.
-
Can I display events from multiple Eventbrite accounts?
-
Each block connects to one Eventbrite account. You can add multiple blocks with different API keys if needed.
-
Does this create posts or custom post types?
-
No. That’s the beauty of this plugin — your WordPress database stays clean. Events are fetched from Eventbrite and displayed dynamically.
-
Can I filter which events are shown?
-
Absolutely. Filter by event status (live/draft/all), sort order, event name keywords, and limit the total number displayed.
-
Will this work with my theme?
-
The plugin uses a self-contained design that works well with most themes. The card styling is intentionally neutral to blend with various designs.
-
Is this plugin actively maintained?
-
Yes! The plugin is maintained and updated for WordPress compatibility. Check the changelog for recent updates.
