Hey folks. Thanks for the notes here….happy to help you out best I can here.
Leandra: you can definitely run Community Events on The (free) Events Calendar, without a need for PRO at all. Just keep in mind none of the PRO functionality like recurring events, etc will carry over to the frontend submission form.
Scott: I’m pretty sure I understand your question but let me know if my answer doesn’t reflect that, and I’ll adjust my reply accordingly. But as it stands: if you wanted to use Eventbrite and Events Calendar PRO, you would need to purchase those two licenses independently. But Eventbrite Tickets will run alongside the free The Events Calendar, so if you don’t want the PRO functionality – keeping in mind that recurrence DOES NOT work with Eventbrite, due to a limitation in their API – you could just buy Eventbrite and run it on the free version.
Hope that helps. If it doesn’t, let me know!
