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 Very Simple Event List
In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New and search for Very Simple Event List.
Install and activate the plugin. WordPress will add event list management to your admin. That is where your imported Fiona 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 Fiona events are arriving in WordPress.
3. Connect Fiona
Open Jeero in the WordPress admin and create a new import.
Choose Fiona as the ticketing solution. Jeero will ask for:
- Fiona API key: the API key Jeero should use to read upcoming Fiona events.
- Fiona server name: the server name Jeero should use to read upcoming Fiona events.
If you are not sure which Fiona details Jeero needs, send me your public ticketing URL. I can usually tell what to ask your Fiona admin for.
Save the import. Jeero checks the connection and shows whether it can reach upcoming Fiona events.
4. Choose Import Options
After Jeero connects to Fiona, review the available import options.
Start with the default options unless you know your website should include a narrower part of the programme.
If the first import contains too many or too few events, this is the first setting to review.
5. Enable Very Simple Event List Import
Open the Very Simple Event List tab in the Jeero import settings.
Enable the import and save your changes. Jeero will now send upcoming Fiona events to Very Simple Event List.
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 Very Simple Event List events in the WordPress admin and check whether your upcoming Fiona events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:
- The title matches the Fiona event.
- The date and time are correct.
- The description and image are present when Fiona provides them.
- The venue information is present when Fiona provides one.
If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active and your Fiona API key is correct.
7. Show Events on Your Website
Very Simple Event List creates an events page automatically.
You can find the URL in Events > Settings. Add the event list page to your navigation so visitors can browse upcoming events and click through to Fiona 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.
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 Fiona 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.
