Import Yesplan Events into Sugar Calendar

Use Jeero to sync your Yesplan events to Sugar Calendar in WordPress. You can start for free; you only need WordPress admin access, your Yesplan base URL, and your Yesplan API key.

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 Sugar Calendar

In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New and search for Sugar Calendar.

Install and activate the plugin. WordPress will add an Events section for Sugar Calendar. If another calendar plugin also uses an Events menu, look for the one with Calendars, Tickets, Venues, Speakers, and RSVP submenus.

2. Create a Sugar Calendar Calendar

Sugar Calendar often creates a default calendar called My Calendar. You can use that for your first import.

If you want imported events grouped separately, create a dedicated Sugar Calendar calendar before configuring Jeero. Jeero can assign imported events to one or more Sugar Calendar calendars.

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 Yesplan events are arriving in WordPress.

4. Connect Yesplan

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

Choose Yesplan as the ticketing solution and save the import once. Reopen the import, then open the Yesplan tab.

Jeero will ask for:

• Yesplan base URL: the Yesplan API base URL Jeero should use to read upcoming events, for example https://mytheater.yesplan.nl.

Your Yesplan API base URL, e.g. https://mytheater.yesplan.nl/

• Yesplan API key: the API key Jeero should use to read upcoming Yesplan events.

Your Yesplan API key.

If you are not sure which Yesplan details Jeero needs, send me your public ticketing URL. I can usually tell what to ask your Yesplan admin for.

Save the import. Jeero checks the connection and loads the available Yesplan profiles and statuses when the base URL and API key are valid.

5. Choose Profiles and Statuses

After Jeero connects to Yesplan, choose the profiles that represent the events you want on the website.

Then choose the statuses Jeero should include.

Start with the public profile and public/live statuses unless your website deliberately needs a broader planning view.

If the first import contains too many or too few events, profile and status selection is the first thing to review.

6. Enable Sugar Calendar Import

Open the Sugar Calendar tab in the Jeero import settings.

Enable the import. If your site already has Sugar Calendar calendars, choose the calendar or calendars where the imported events should appear.

Save your changes. Jeero will now send upcoming Yesplan events to Sugar Calendar.

Start with the default import settings. After you have confirmed that events are syncing, you can tune event images, event content, locations, and custom fields. 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.

7. Check Your First Events

The first sync usually runs within a few minutes.

Go to the Sugar Calendar Events section in the WordPress admin and check whether your upcoming Yesplan events appear. Open one imported event and confirm the basics:

• The title matches the Yesplan event.
• The date and time are correct.
• The location appears as the event venue when Yesplan provides one.
• Status appears when Yesplan provides it.

If no events appear yet, wait a few minutes and check that the Jeero import is active, the Yesplan base URL and API key are correct, and at least one selected profile contains upcoming events.

8. Show Events on Your Website

Sugar Calendar can show imported events through its event archive or through a page you build.

For the fastest check, open the Sugar Calendar event archive at ?post_type=sc_event. For a page you control, create a page such as Calendar, then add the Events Calendar block or Events List block. If you prefer shortcodes, use [sugarcalendar_events_calendar] or [sugarcalendar_events_list]. Review and publish draft events before expecting them to appear in public lists, then add the chosen page to your navigation.

Optional Event Improvements

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

Good next improvements for this setup:

• Choose the right profiles and statuses when your website should show only public events.
• Use custom fields when your theme needs structured Yesplan custom data.
• Review location mapping when your venue setup in Yesplan is more complex.

Yesplan can also provide extra fields for custom templates, such as profiles, statuses, locations, custom data, 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 Yesplan 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.
