Some of these plugins offer built-in integrations for Elementor<\/a> to help you design and manage event listings and event categories using Elementor, while others are standalone tools that you can insert into your Elementor designs using shortcodes.<\/p>

Modern Events Calendar is a flexible event calendar plugin that comes with great out-of-the-box designs as well as an Elementor integration that lets you design your event pages using Elementor.<\/p>

Let’s start at the beginning, though.<\/p>

First, Modern Events Calendar lets you add events as a stand-alone post, where you can add all the important event details, such as schedule, location, organizer, etc. You can also automatically repeat events on a variety of schedules and create multi-day or never-ending events.<\/p>

For paid events, you can sell tickets\/bookings via direct payment gateways or a WooCommerce<\/a> integration (with the Pro version of the plugin). To display your events, you can choose from a few different calendar views, as well as lists, countdowns, carousels, and more.<\/p>

The most unique display option, and the one most useful to Elementor users, is Modern Event Calendar’s Elementor integration, which comes as four separate add-ons. With the Elementor add-ons, you can use the Elementor interface (and dedicated widgets<\/a>) to design both your single event page and event booking form.<\/p>

You can also create Modern Event Calendar shortcodes directly from the Elementor builder and preview the output of those shortcodes without leaving Elementor. So if you want a WordPress event calendar plugin that integrates well with Elementor, this is going to be one of your best options.<\/p>

The core Modern Events Calendar plugin is available on their website<\/a>, but you’ll need to pay for the Elementor integration, as well as features like booking\/tickets and some other options.<\/p>

The core Pro version starts at $79 and you can get a bundle of all the Elementor add-ons for $99. You can see all the pricing details here<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

By the numbers, The Events Calendar is the most popular WordPress event calendar plugin in existence. It\u2019s active on over 800,000 WordPress sites, according to WordPress.org with a 4.4-star rating on almost 1,700 reviews.<\/p>

The core free version lets you create separate events complete with the venue and organizer information. You can then display your events in a few different layouts, including a calendar view. The paid version also adds support for recurring events and more display options.<\/p>

Where things start getting powerful, though, is with the ecosystem of other plugins from the same developer.<\/p>

If you need to sell tickets or manage your booking system, you can integrate it with the Event Tickets plugin<\/a> from the same developer, which also comes in both a free and paid version.<\/p>

The free version of Event Tickets<\/a> lets you accept RSVPs and sell basic tickets. Then, the Pro version adds QR Code check-in support via Android and iOS apps so that you can actually manage attendees when they show up. There are also some other plugins\/add-ons from the same developer that you can use to enhance The Event Calendar\u2019s functionality.\u00a0<\/p>

Event Aggregator<\/a> lets you automatically import events from Meetup, Eventbrite, iCal, and more. And with Community Events<\/a>, you can let third-party users submit their own events and include those events in your calendars.<\/p>

The core versions of The Events Calendar and Event Tickets are available for free at WordPress.org. The premium version of each tool starts at $89 each.<\/p>

The Events Calendar doesn\u2019t offer a dedicated Elementor integration. However, some of The Events Calendar\u2019s functionality is powered by shortcodes, so you\u2019ll be able to include those shortcodes in your Elementor designs just like you would any other plugin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

After The Events Calendar, Events Manager is the next most popular event plugin on WordPress.org. It’s active on 100,000+ sites with a 4.3-star rating.<\/p>\n

You can add events as individual posts, including location and organizer details. Then, you can display them on a calendar view.<\/p>\n

One notable thing about Events Manager is that it is feature-rich and includes a ton of features for free. For example, with the free version, available on WordPress.org, you get:<\/p>\n
