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 TicketSource 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 TicketSource events are arriving in WordPress.
4. Connect TicketSource
Open Jeero in the WordPress admin and create a new import.
Choose TicketSource as the ticketing solution. Jeero will ask for your TicketSource API key.
You can obtain your API key from the Account > API Details menu option in your TicketSource account.
If you are not sure which TicketSource API key Jeero needs, send me your public ticketing URL. I can usually tell what to ask your TicketSource admin for.
Save the import. Jeero checks the connection and shows whether it can reach upcoming TicketSource 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 TicketSource 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 TicketSource events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:
- The title matches the TicketSource event.
- The date and time are correct for your site timezone.
- The description and image are present when TicketSource provides them.
- The venue information is present when TicketSource provides one.
- The ticket link sends visitors to the correct TicketSource booking page.
- Categories appear when TicketSource provides category data.
If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active, the TicketSource API key is valid, and TicketSource has upcoming events available through the API.
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 TicketSource for tickets.
Optional Event Improvements
Once the basic sync works, you can tune the import.
Good next improvements for this setup:
- Map TicketSource categories into WordPress event categories.
- Check that event times match the timezone configured for your site.
- Use custom templates when event descriptions, images, or ticket links need to match your theme.
TicketSource can also provide extra fields for custom templates, such as event category, banner image, 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.
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 TicketSource 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, use category data, or polish the import for your site, you can upgrade Jeero later.
