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 The Events Calendar
In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New and search for The Events Calendar.
Install and activate the plugin. WordPress will add an Events section to your admin menu. That is where your imported ActiveTickets 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 ActiveTickets events are arriving in WordPress.
3. Connect ActiveTickets
Open Jeero in the WordPress admin and create a new import.
Choose ActiveTickets as the ticketing solution. Jeero will ask for your ActiveTickets connection details:
- ActiveTickets username: the account or client name Jeero should use for the connection.
- ActiveTickets token: add this when ActiveTickets has supplied one for your venue.
- ActiveTickets base URL: the public ticketing base URL for your venue, for example
https://tickets.yourtheater.com. - Categories: optionally import Genre and SubGenres as event categories.
If you are not sure which ActiveTickets details Jeero needs, send me your public ticketing URL. I can usually tell what to ask ActiveTickets for.
Save the import. Jeero checks the connection and shows whether it can reach ActiveTickets. If the connection fails, ActiveTickets may need to whitelist Jeero's IP address before the sync can run.
4. Enable The Events Calendar Import
Open the The Events Calendar tab in the Jeero import settings.
Enable the import and save your changes. Jeero will now send upcoming ActiveTickets events to The Events Calendar.
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.
5. Check Your First Events
The first sync usually runs within a few minutes.
Go to Events in the WordPress admin and check whether your upcoming ActiveTickets events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:
- The title matches the ActiveTickets event.
- The date and time are correct.
- The event description is present when ActiveTickets provides one.
- The location is present.
- The ticket link sends visitors to ActiveTickets.
- Cancelled or sold-out events show the expected status when ActiveTickets provides that data.
If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active, the ActiveTickets base URL is correct, and ActiveTickets can be reached from Jeero.
6. Show Events on Your Website
The Events Calendar creates an events page automatically.
You can find the URL in Events > Settings. Add this events page to your website menu so visitors can browse your upcoming events and click through to ActiveTickets for tickets.
Optional ActiveTickets Features
After the basic sync works, you can add ActiveTickets-specific features to make the ticket flow feel more native inside WordPress.
Available for this setup:
- Inline tickets: embed a ticket page inside WordPress.
- Inline cart: embed the cart flow.
- Cart indicator: show when a visitor has tickets in their cart.
Use these after you have confirmed that events are importing correctly. The event sync is the foundation; the widgets are for improving the visitor journey once the event data is reliable.

Need a different ActiveTickets flow, such as a member route, a special cart setup, or a more integrated ticket experience? Tell me what you want visitors to do after they click for tickets. Jeero can often support platform-specific tweaks once the basic sync works.
Optional Import Improvements
ActiveTickets can provide more than dates and titles. Depending on the venue setup, Jeero can work with descriptions, images, genres, subgenres, locations, prices, availability, and status.
Start simple. Once the sync is working, decide whether your website needs genre mapping, custom event fields, custom templates, or a different ticketing flow.
ActiveTickets can also provide extra fields for custom templates, such as subtitle, genre, subgenres, minimum age, 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.

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 ActiveTickets connection, review the imported The Events Calendar events, 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 add a more advanced ticket flow, you can upgrade Jeero later.
