Event plugin that allows site visitors to add their own events.
-
Hello,
I’m looking for a plugin that allows visitors to my website to add their own events to the event calendar. Once a user has submitted an event I want to then be able to review and potentially edit it before it is published.
Does anyone know of a plugin or service that does this?

Hi,
WordPress.com includes the functionality of most popular plugins, but doesn’t allow installation of other plugins due to security reasons. There are two available widgets – Eventbrite and Upcoming Events – that show your future events.
Upcoming Events supports Google Calendar, so you could create a Public calendar in it, and share that calendar link with your readers so that they can add events to it. You can then connect that calendar to the Upcoming Events widget, and those events will show up in your site’s sidebar (or wherever the widget is placed).

Eventbrite widget: http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/eventbrite-event-calendarlisting-widget/
There are also two Eventbrite themes available for WordPress.com users, but purely going by the available description, they don’t seem to do what you want. https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=eventbrite+theme

Hi arthurmarkwilliams – it doesn’t look like you have a site hosted here on WordPress.com.
These forums are for sites hosted on WordPress.com.
You can ask for plugin recommendations by posting your question in the WordPress.org forums for self-hosted sites:

You’ll need a free WordPress.org account to post – if you don’t already have one, you can register here:

The WordPress site is hosted by another server but the question is still relevant to anyone using a WordPress website.
If you would like to give me the name of a forum website to discuss WordPress issues I would love to know of it. I’ve searched relentlessly and am always directed to either this site or websites that offer forum plugins for WordPress – which is of course not what I am looking for.

Since we don’t allow plugins to be installed on WordPress.com sites, this really isn’t the right place to get help with them. :)
I suggest you try the WordPress.org plugins forum:

Good luck!
