Import Eventive Events into WP Event Manager

Use Jeero to sync your Eventive events to WP Event Manager in WordPress. You can start for free; you only need WordPress admin access and your Eventive secret API key.

Quick Fit Check

Not sure whether this is your setup? Send me your ticketing link and the WordPress calendar plugin you use. I will point you to the right guide.

1. Install WP Event Manager

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New and search for WP Event Manager.

Install and activate the plugin. WordPress will add event management screens to your admin. That is where your imported Eventive events will appear after Jeero has synced them.

2. Install Jeero

Go to Plugins > Add New and search for Jeero.

Install and activate the plugin. Jeero adds its own admin section where you can connect a ticketing solution to one or more WordPress calendar plugins.

You do not need a paid Jeero plan to test the setup. The free plan is enough to confirm that Eventive events are arriving in WordPress.

3. Connect Eventive

Open Jeero in the WordPress admin and create a new import.

Choose Eventive as the ticketing solution. Jeero will ask for your Eventive secret API key.

You can find API keys in the Eventive admin dashboard. Use a secret API key for the organization whose event buckets should appear on your WordPress site.

If you are not sure which Eventive API key Jeero needs, send me your public ticketing or festival URL. I can usually tell what to ask your Eventive admin for.

Save the import. Jeero checks the connection and, when the API key is valid, loads the available Eventive event buckets.

4. Choose Event Buckets

After Jeero connects to Eventive, choose the event buckets you want to import.

Event buckets control which Eventive events Jeero should consider for your website.

Start with the public bucket that contains the dated events you want visitors to find on your WordPress site.

If the first import is empty or includes the wrong programme, this is the first setting to check.

5. Enable Wp Event Manager Import

Open the WP Event Manager tab in the Jeero import settings.

Enable the import and save your changes. Jeero will now send upcoming Eventive events to WP Event Manager.

Start with the default import settings. After you have confirmed that events are syncing, you can decide whether Jeero should update event categories, images, and custom templates on first import only or on every import.

6. Check Your First Events

The first sync usually runs within a few minutes.

Go to WP Event Manager events in the WordPress admin and check whether your upcoming Eventive events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:

• The title matches the Eventive event.
• The date and time are correct.
• The description is present when Eventive provides one.
• The location appears when Eventive provides one.
• The ticket link sends visitors to the correct Eventive ticket page.
• Images, tags, film data, and sold-out status appear when Eventive provides that data.

If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active, the Eventive API key is valid, and at least one selected event bucket contains upcoming dated events.

7. Show Events on Your Website

WP Event Manager creates an events page automatically.

You can find the URL in Events > Settings. Add the listing page to your navigation so visitors can browse upcoming events and click through to Eventive for tickets.

Optional Film and Festival Improvements

Once the basic sync works, you can tune the import.

Good next improvements for this setup:

• Show film details such as runtime, year, language, rating, director, cast, trailer, or extra images.
• Map Eventive tags into WordPress event categories.
• Use custom fields when your theme needs structured film, venue, or festival data.
• Review event bucket selection when your website should only show part of the programme.

Eventive can also provide extra fields for custom templates, such as additional venue information, films, and local timezone conversion. Use them when your event pages, filters, or templates need more than the basic title, date, image, location, and ticket link.

• Map ticketing categories to calendar categories
• Use custom templates and fields

Need the import to match your website more closely? Tell me what you want to show on the event page. Jeero can often support custom fields, category mapping, additional data, or platform-specific tweaks once the basic sync works.

Start with the Free Jeero Plugin

The free plan lets you test the full setup with up to 10 upcoming events. That is enough to check the Eventive connection, review the imported event pages, and decide whether the workflow fits your website.

Want a final check before trying it? Send me your site URL and ticketing platform. I will tell you whether the free Jeero setup is enough or whether you need something custom.

When you are ready to sync more events, expose richer film data, or polish the import for your site, you can upgrade Jeero later.
