<p>GigRoute Events is a WordPress event management plugin built for bands, musicians, artists, stand-up performers, show business teams, venues, and entertainment websites that need a clean way to publish upcoming shows and guide visitors toward tickets.</p>
<p>The plugin adds a dedicated Event post type, event details, ticket URLs, location taxonomies, event statuses, posters, frontend filters, and a dynamic Gutenberg block for displaying tour dates and live events anywhere on your site.</p>
<p>Whether you manage a band website, a comedy tour page, an artist profile, a festival landing page, or a promotional website for live shows, GigRoute Events helps you keep event information structured, searchable, and easy to promote.</p>
<h4>Built for ticket promotion</h4>
<p>GigRoute Events helps visitors move from event discovery to ticket action. Each event can include a Ticket URL, venue information, date and time, city, state, country, event type, status, and an optional poster image.</p>

<ul>
<li>Upcoming tour dates</li>
<li>Concert schedules</li>
<li>Stand-up show calendars</li>
<li>Festival appearances</li>
<li>Artist event listings</li>
<li>Venue and city-based event pages</li>
<li>Ticket-focused landing pages</li>
</ul>
<p>The frontend block can show a clear “Buy tickets” link for each event and automatically switch to a sold-out label when an event is marked as sold out.</p>

</ul>
<h4>Gutenberg block</h4>
<p>The GigRoute Events block lets editors display events without writing code. Block options include title, title tag, layout styling, number of events, event mode, ticket link visibility, grouping, pagination, filters, and date format.</p>
<p>This is useful for building conversion-focused sections such as “Tour Dates”, “Upcoming Shows”, “Live Events”, “Get Tickets”, or “Next Performances”.</p>
<h4>Event posters</h4>
<p>GigRoute Events includes poster functionality for visually promoting events. You can use individual event posters or one global poster across the site.</p>
<p>Poster settings include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enable or disable posters globally.</li>
<li>Use individual event posters or one global poster.</li>
<li>Set the poster display delay.</li>
<li>Hide the poster for a selected number of days after a visitor closes it.</li>
<li>Wrap poster media in a link when a valid destination is available.</li>
<li>Use the global poster link or the individual event Ticket URL as the destination.</li>
</ul>
<p>This can help promote ticket campaigns, new tour announcements, stand-up specials, festival appearances, or other show business events.</p>
<h4>REST API</h4>
<p>GigRoute Events provides a public JSON endpoint:</p>
<pre><code>/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events
</code></pre>
<p>The endpoint returns published events and supports event discovery, external frontends, mobile apps, landing pages, and custom JavaScript interfaces.</p>
<p>Supported query examples:</p>
<pre><code>/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events
/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events?mode=upcoming
/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events?mode=all&year=2026
/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events?mode=all&year=2026&month=4
/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events?country=ukraine&city=kyiv&event_type=concert
/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events?start=2026-04-01&end=2026-04-30
/wp-json/gigroute-events/v1/events?mode=all&page=2&per_page=20
</code></pre>
<p>The response includes pagination data and event items. Empty values are removed from public event responses where possible. Event edit meta is registered for REST access, so block editor saves, revisions, integrations, and the classic editor all continue to work with the same underlying post meta keys instead of duplicated values.</p>
<h4>SEO and marketing benefits</h4>
<p>GigRoute Events helps structure event content in a way that supports marketing and organic discovery.</p>
<p>You can create dedicated content around live shows, city pages, tour schedules, artist announcements, and ticket calls to action. The plugin separates event metadata from normal post content, which makes it easier to reuse event information across blocks, templates, REST responses, filters, and promotional sections.</p>
<p>For SEO-focused event pages, you can use event titles, excerpts, content, featured images, event taxonomies, and location terms to create relevant pages around concerts, tours, stand-up shows, and entertainment events.</p>
<p>For events that should appear in lists but should not have a public single page, GigRoute Events includes event visibility controls. You can hide the direct event page and prevent search indexing while still keeping the event available in public lists and REST summaries when published.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>GigRoute Events can use the ipapi.co geolocation service when event-based posters are enabled on the frontend.</p>
<p>The service is used to request approximate visitor location data from:</p>
<pre><code>https://ipapi.co/json/
</code></pre>
<p>The plugin uses this response to help choose a relevant upcoming event poster based on the visitor’s country, region, city, and approximate coordinates. The result may be cached in the visitor’s browser localStorage for up to 3 hours.</p>
<p>Data sent: the visitor’s browser makes a request to ipapi.co, which means the visitor’s IP address is processed by that external service.</p>
