Community Events Plugin – Does it require the Events Calendar plugin?

[Jessa Green]

I really like the look and what appears to be the functionality of the Community Events Plugin.

1) If I wanted to use that on my community wordpress site, would I need to install the Events Calendar plugin first/as well? Or does the Community Events plugin work as a standalone?

2) Also, what features are included in the free versions of each of these vs. the paid? I’m willing to pay, I just need to be able to explain to the person with the purchasing power why we need the Pro version(s) of the plugin(s).

Thanks!
Jessa

Hi Jessa,

Thanks for getting in touch, and thanks so much for your interest in Community Events! I’d be more than glad to help you with your questions here! 🙂

1. You can think of Community Events as an extension to the functionality provided in our core calendar plugins–so yes, you must have at least one of our calendar plugins installed and activated in order to use Community Events. Our free core calendar plugin The Events Calendar provides a more basic level of functionality, while Events Calendar PRO adds support for a number of premium features such as recurring events. You can choose whichever calendar is the best fit for your needs! The options that are available for creating events in your plugin of choice will also be made available to your users with Community Events, so you may wish to consider the types of events that your users might create when making your decision.
2. Events Calendar PRO includes a number of features that improve upon the look, feel, and overall functionality of The Events Calendar, including additional calendar views (week, map, and photo views), recurring event creation, location-based event searching, widgets and shortcodes, and much more. In addition, you’ll receive access to our premium support forums for any issues you might encounter with setup, regular usage, or product customizations. You can see a brief feature comparison on the product page for Events Calendar PRO–I’d be happy to answer any specific questions you might have, as well!

I hope that helps to address your questions here! Thanks again for stopping by, and please don’t hesitate to follow up if there’s anything else I can assist you with!
