EventHive

EventHive is a modern event management plugin for WordPress that makes it easy to create, organize, and showcase events. There are already plenty of event solutions available for WordPress, but many of them overlook the practical needs of everyday users. EventHive is being built to help fill that gap.

Designed for both simplicity and control, EventHive works naturally with most well-coded WordPress themes. Its modular architecture is designed to keep the plugin focused and avoid loading unnecessary functionality. It lets you create and manage events through a clean admin interface while keeping the frontend polished, responsive, and easy to navigate.

EventHive focuses on the parts of event publishing that matter most:

• Clean and theme-friendly frontend presentation.

• Flexible list, grid, and calendar views.

• Support for physical and virtual events.

• Extensive display, typography, color, date, and time controls.

How to use EventHive

After activating the plugin, go to EventHive > Add New Event to create your first event. Add the event schedule, venue, organizer, categories, tags, website, excerpt, and optional virtual event details from the event editor.

Events are displayed on the public event archive using the archive slug configured in EventHive settings. You can also place event listings on any page or post with the [eventhive_events] shortcode.

Use EventHive > Settings to configure date and time display, archive layout, single-event output, calendar behavior, venue map options, typography, colors, and available integrations.

External Services

Google Maps

EventHive can load Google Maps scripts only when the site owner configures the Google Maps API settings and uses Google map-related venue features. By default, Google Maps JavaScript API features are not loaded unless the required Google Maps configuration is present.

When Google Maps is loaded or an embedded Google map is displayed, Google may receive visitor data such as IP address, browser and device information, referrer or page URL, and map interaction data.

Google Fonts

EventHive can load selected typography from Google Fonts only when the site owner chooses a Google Font option in EventHive typography settings. Theme font inheritance and the System Sans option do not load Google Fonts.

When pages using that font are viewed, the visitor’s browser may request font stylesheets and font files from Google servers. The request may include visitor browser, IP address, and referrer data as handled by Google.
