Etika Event Manager is a lightning-fast, zero-maintenance way to display an event schedule on your WordPress site. Simply add your events in the dashboard, and the plugin takes care of the rest. Once midnight passes on the final day of an event, it automatically hides itself from your public page—no manual deletion required!
Built the “WordPress Way,” it uses native core functions to keep your site fast, secure, and bloat-free.
<h4>Comprehensive Feature List</h4>
<ul>
<li>Zero-Maintenance Auto-Expiration: Events disappear automatically from the frontend the moment their final date passes.</li>
<li>Multi-Day Event Support: Add unlimited dates and times to a single event using a clean, repeatable field interface. The plugin automatically sorts them chronologically.</li>
<li>Smart Time Display: Add start and end times, or use the handy “?” toggle for open-ended events (e.g., “7:00 pm – ?”).</li>
<li>Automatic Google Maps Links: Just type an address or venue name, and the plugin generates a secure, clickable “View on Map” link for your users.</li>
<li>Anti-Spam Email Protection: Enter an email address instead of a ticket URL, and the plugin automatically scrambles it to hide it from spam bots while generating a clean “Contact Organizer” button for real users.</li>
<li>Featured Image Support: Upload event flyers or photos using the native WordPress Featured Image meta box.</li>
<li>Customizable Pagination: Easily set how many events should display per page from a dedicated Settings screen.</li>
<li>Smart Sidebar Navigation Widget: Use the <code>[etika_sidebar_list]</code> shortcode to display a compact list of all upcoming events. It mathematically calculates which paginated page an event lives on and creates an anchor link to jump the user directly to it!</li>
<li>Translation Ready: Fully localized and ready to be translated into any language.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin generates a link to Google Maps to help users find event locations easily.
<ul>
<li>What the service is and what it is used for: Google Maps is used to provide a clickable “View on Map” link based on the location address you enter for an event in the backend.</li>
<li>What data is sent and when: This plugin does not make background API calls to Google. However, when a visitor clicks the “View on Map” link on the front end, they are redirected to Google Maps, and the event’s location (the address text) is passed via the URL so Google can display the correct map location.</li>
