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. Prepare your custom post type
Make sure the custom post type you want to use for events is registered in WordPress and public.
Jeero can import PatronManager events into the custom post type you select.
2. Enable custom post type imports
In the Jeero settings, enable custom post type imports before configuring this calendar target.
Jeero only shows this target when custom post type imports are enabled.
3. 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 PatronManager events are arriving in WordPress.
4. Connect PatronManager
Open Jeero in the WordPress admin and create a new import.
Choose PatronManager as the ticketing solution. Jeero will ask for your PatronManager domain name.
For example: https://sillytickets.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket
If you are not sure which PatronManager details Jeero needs, send me your public ticketing URL. I can usually tell what to ask your PatronManager admin for.
Save the import. Jeero checks the connection and shows whether it can reach upcoming PatronManager events.
5. Enable Custom Post Type Import
Open the Custom Post Type tab in the Jeero import settings.
Enable the import and save your changes. Jeero will now send upcoming PatronManager events to the selected post type.
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 Custom Post Type posts in the WordPress admin and check whether your upcoming PatronManager events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:
- The title matches the PatronManager event.
- The date and time are correct.
- The description and image are present when PatronManager provides them.
- The venue information is present when PatronManager provides one.
- The ticket link sends visitors to the correct PatronManager ticket page.
- Prices appear when PatronManager exposes usable price data.
- Status appears when PatronManager provides it.
If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active and your PatronManager domain name is correct.
7. Show Events on Your Website
Custom Post Type creates an events page automatically.
You can find the URL in Events > Settings. Add the event archive or page to your navigation so visitors can browse upcoming events and click through to PatronManager for tickets.
Optional Event Improvements
Once the basic sync works, you can tune the import.
Good next improvements for this setup:
- Use custom templates when event descriptions, images, ticket links, or structured fields need to match your theme.
- Map ticketing categories into WordPress event categories when visitors need event filters.
PatronManager can also provide extra fields for custom templates, such as PatronManager event type, PatronManager instance name, PatronManager sale status, PatronManager no-sale message, and other platform-specific fields. Use them when your event pages, filters, or templates need more than the basic title, date, image, location, and ticket link.
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 PatronManager 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 or polish the import for your site, you can upgrade Jeero later.
