Events Manager Pro 3.7.2.2

Events Manager Pro is the premium add-on for the popular free Events Manager plugin. It is designed for professional event organizers who need advanced features like paid ticketing, custom booking forms, and automation beyond the basic "event calendar" functionality.

As of January 2026, Events Manager Pro remains one of the most flexible and developer-friendly event solutions for WordPress, particularly for those who need complex recurrence patterns and multi-site support.

## Core Premium Features

The Pro version unlocks several key tools that turn a simple calendar into a full-scale event business platform:

Payment Gateway Integration: Securely accept payments for tickets using:

PayPal (Standard and Pro)

Stripe (Direct credit card payments)

Authorize.net

Offline Payments (e.g., Bank Transfer or Pay at Door)

Custom Booking Forms: A drag-and-drop form builder allows you to collect specific attendee information during registration (e.g., meal preferences, t-shirt sizes, or company names).

Automated Email Reminders & Triggers:

Send automated emails $X$ days before or after an event.

Send WhatsApp, SMS, or Telegram notifications via webhooks.

Trigger actions based on booking status changes (e.g., "Pending" to "Approved").

Coupon & Discount Codes: Create percentage-based or flat-rate discount codes with expiration dates and usage limits.

Waitlists: Automatically allow users to join a waitlist when an event is sold out, then notify them if a spot opens up.

PDF Tickets & QR Codes: Generate professional PDF tickets that are emailed to attendees. These include QR codes that can be scanned at the door for rapid check-in using a mobile device.

## Technical Capabilities

Events Manager Pro is unique in its support for complex site structures:

Multisite Support: Share events across a network of sites. You can display a "Global Calendar" on the main site while individual sub-sites manage their own bookings.

BuddyPress & BuddyBoss Integration: Allow community members to create, manage, and RSVP to their own group events directly from their profiles.

Advanced Recurrence: Beyond just "every Monday," you can create complex patterns like "the last Friday of every second month" with specific blackout/exclusion dates.

Developer Friendly: The plugin is famous for its extensive list of hooks, filters, and template tags, making it highly customizable for custom-coded themes.

## Pricing (2026 Standards)

Events Manager Pro typically follows a yearly subscription model for updates and support, though Lifetime licenses are sometimes offered during special promotions.

Standard License: ~$129/year (for 1 site).

Multi-Site License: Pricing scales based on the number of domains.

Note: The "Pro" version is an add-on. You must keep the free version of Events Manager installed and active for the Pro features to work.
