NetterTech Events

NetterTech Events stores your events in dedicated database tables rather than WordPress post meta. That architectural choice means calendar queries stay fast whether you have 50 events or 5,000, and it means recurring event schedules are pre-computed rather than recalculated on every page load.

” Change a rule, and occurrences regenerate automatically.

Ticketing without per-ticket fees: Sell tickets through WooCommerce with automatic capacity tracking per occurrence. Series passes let attendees buy once for an entire recurring event run. No external ticketing service means no percentage taken on each sale.

Free event registration: RSVP forms work without WooCommerce for events that don’t require payment. Attendees register, receive confirmations, and can be tracked through the same admin interface.

Check-in built in: Manual attendee check-in by name or email search works from any device. QR code and volunteer check-in workflows can be added with the separate NetterTech Events Pro plugin.

Spaces and locations management: Define bookable spaces and physical locations through a dedicated admin interface. Assign spaces to events via the event editor metabox to track which room or area each event occupies.

Display options for any layout: Month, week, and day calendar views. Carousel slider for featured events. Filterable grid with live search.

Weekly regulars table for recurring events. All three calendar views are available as Gutenberg blocks and Beaver Builder modules.

Reminder emails that send themselves: Configure pre-event reminders at any interval you choose. Emails go out automatically via WordPress cron – no third-party service required.

org Event structured data integrates with Yoast SEO and Rank Math’s JSON-LD output rather than generating a second duplicate block. Custom sitemap entries cover recurring occurrence URLs individually. Custom SEO title variables ( %%nettertech_events_event_date%%, %%nettertech_events_event_venue%%, %%nettertech_events_event_organizer%% ) let you build dynamic titles per-occurrence.

Breadcrumb trail follows the full event hierarchy. org and Open Graph output.

2 AA standards with ARIA labels, full keyboard navigation, focus management, and reduced motion support across every public-facing view.

Your data stays yours: All attendee, ticket, and event data is stored in your WordPress database. No data is sent to external services. GDPR tools let site administrators export or erase attendee records on request.
