EventZilla - Event Calendar WordPress Plugin 1.5.4

EventZilla for WordPress is a powerful integration that bridges the gap between a simple website calendar and a professional, full-scale event management platform.

In 2025, there are two primary ways "EventZilla" is used within WordPress: as an embedded widget for the global SaaS platform (Eventzilla.net) or as a dedicated lightweight plugin (often found on marketplaces like CodeCanyon).

🚀 Key Features (2025 Edition)

1. The All-in-One SaaS Integration

Most professional users use the Eventzilla WordPress plugin to sync their site with the Eventzilla.net cloud platform.

Embeddable Widgets: Easily drop a "Ticket Widget" or "Event List" into any WordPress page using shortcodes.

Virtual Event Hub: Dedicated support for webinars and hybrid events with integrated streaming links (Zoom, GoToWebinar, etc.).

Mobile Check-In: Use the Eventzilla app to scan QR codes on tickets generated via your WordPress site.

White-Labeling: The Pro version allows you to remove Eventzilla branding so the ticket purchase experience feels native to your site.

2. Event Calendar Management

List & Grid Views: Display events in a traditional monthly calendar or a modern masonry grid.

Multi-Day Events: Perfect for conferences or festivals that span several days.

Venue & Organizer Management: Store and reuse location data (with Google Maps integration) and speaker/organizer profiles.

Cancellation Management: Mark events as "Cancelled" or "Postponed" without deleting them, preserving your SEO.

3. Registration & Payments

Custom Forms: Build unique registration forms to collect attendee data (T-shirt sizes, meal preferences, etc.).

Payment Gateways: Supports Stripe, PayPal, and Authorize.net directly.

Automatic Invoicing: Generates and emails PDF tickets and tax invoices immediately after purchase.

💰 Pricing & Plans

Eventzilla typically operates on a "Pay-as-you-go" or subscription model rather than a one-time plugin fee.

⚖️ EventZilla vs. The Events Calendar (TEC)

Many WordPress users compare EventZilla with the industry-standard "The Events Calendar."

EventZilla: Better for logistics and ticketing. It is a full management suite that handles the "business" of events (payouts, tax, attendee tracking) more robustly.

The Events Calendar: Better for design and site integration. It feels more like a part of WordPress, whereas EventZilla feels like an external tool plugged into your site.

Sign Up: Create an account at Eventzilla.net.
