Event Aggregator Multisite Network for Sharing Events

[inhouse]

Hello. Is it possible to share events across a multisite? We have a 2-site network where both sites are run by the same client. The ideal situation would be for us to display a specific category of events from Site A on Site B. The goal would be to avoid maintaining the same event information in 2 places.

Site B’s main calendar page would include a couple categories from Site A.

Site B would also have a page dedicated to displaying a single category of events from Site A. Could we use a shortcode for this?

I’ve seen the Event Aggregator plugin which looks awesome but I wonder what happens when Site A edits the time of an event. Does Site B get that update as well when the sync runs?

Site A is a school of the arts and Site B is a church so we don’t have a big budget to work with so we’re looking for advice on the best method but also what economical options or workarounds exist. Any info is appreciated!

Hi Teresa,

Thanks for taking the time to reach out! It sounds like, indeed, our Event Aggregator tool would be an ideal solution for this problem. Using Event Aggregator, you can create one or more scheduled import tasks on Site B that will run at specified intervals (once each week, for example). Any new or modified events will be imported from Site A each time your import task runs! You can learn more about creating scheduled imports using Event Aggregator on our Knowledgebase here:

As far as edits to existing events are concerned, you can determine how these are handled by changing your selection for the Event Update Authority setting. More information on this setting and the available options can also be found on our Knowledgebase:

I hope that helps to get you started! 🙂 Thanks again, and please don’t hesitate to follow up if you should have any other questions!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
