Import Gigbee Events into Theater for WordPress

Use Jeero to sync your Gigbee events to Theater for WordPress in WordPress. You can start for free; you only need WordPress admin access and your Gigbee project public ID.

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 Theater for WordPress

In your WordPress admin, install and activate Theater for WordPress.

WordPress will add a Theater admin menu. Imported productions appear under Theater > Events 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 Gigbee events are arriving in WordPress.

3. Connect Gigbee

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

Choose Gigbee as the ticketing solution and save the import once. The Gigbee tab should appear after saving. If it does not, reopen the import, then open that tab.

Jeero will ask for:

• Gigbee project public ID: the public project ID Jeero should use to read upcoming Gigbee events.

Find this ID in Gigbee under Dashboard > Settings > Shop URL / API.

• Gigbee environment: optionally choose the test environment when this project is not yet available through the production API.

Leave this set to Production for a live shop. Choose Test only for a project hosted in the Gigbee test environment.

If you cannot find the project public ID, ask your Gigbee administrator which public project ID and environment belong to this shop.

Save the import. Jeero checks the project and, when the details are valid, shows the shop name and how many upcoming Gigbee events it found.

4. Enable Theater For WordPress Import

Open the Theater for WordPress tab in the Jeero import settings.

Enable the import and save your changes. Jeero will now send upcoming Gigbee events to Theater for WordPress.

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. Leave Status for new events on Draft if you want to review imported events first. Choose Publish if the events should appear on the public website after the first import. Changing this setting later only affects newly created events; it does not publish existing drafts.

5. Check Your First Events

The first sync usually runs within a few minutes.

Go to Theater > Events in the WordPress admin and check whether your upcoming Gigbee events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:

• The title matches the Gigbee event.
• The start and end date and time are correct.
• The description and image are present when Gigbee provides them.
• The venue, city, and country are present when Gigbee provides them, or the venue is shown as Online for an online event.
• The ticket link sends visitors to the matching event in the public Gigbee shop.
• Ticket prices appear when Gigbee exposes usable price data.
• Sold-out status appears when Gigbee marks the event as sold out.

If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active, the project public ID is correct, and the selected environment matches the Gigbee project. The project also needs a public shop URL so Jeero can build event ticket links.

6. Show Events on Your Website

Theater for WordPress can show upcoming events on a page you choose.

1. Create a page such as Theater agenda or Program.
2. Go to Theater > Settings > Display. Under Upcoming events, select that page for Page to show upcoming events on and choose where the list should appear. If you prefer manual placement, choose the manual option and place [wpt_productions upcoming="1"][/wpt_productions] in the page content.
3. In the same screen, under Dates on event pages, choose show below content or show above content. The default manual option only works when your event template already contains [wpt_production_events].
4. Review and publish draft events. Open the public programme page and one individual event; confirm that both show the expected dates and that the registration link opens the matching page in the ticketing platform.
5. Add the programme page to your website menu. If the Theater output is unstyled and your theme does not provide its own Theater styles, go to Theater > Settings > Style and enable Enable built-in Theatre stylesheet.

Optional Event Improvements

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

Good next improvements for this setup:

• Show the organizer, online-event URL, or low-inventory signal when your event template needs this extra Gigbee information.
• Use custom fields when your theme needs the Gigbee timezone or online-event flags.

Gigbee can also provide extra fields for custom templates, such as IANA timezone supplied by GigBee, organizer display name, whether the event is online, Online event URL, 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 Gigbee connection, review the imported event pages, and decide whether the workflow fits your website.

Get a free setup check — 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.
