Huge community event calendar

[Peter Redrin]

Hello TEC

I am impressed by your functions, could I get some help to set this up? We have over 120.000 expat members around the world and we are growing fast. They want to put up events and invite the other members. I think I can charge a fee for this in order to make only quality events to enter the calendar. The event organizers probably would like to sell both free and paid tickets. The members have to be able to search on their cities and get a filtered event listing.

We will probably during this year reach 200-300 events per month in the calendar, is that a problem?

I am not hugely WP knowledgable, is there any possibility to get some setup help?

I guess I need to start a WP homepage called “MyExpatsWorld Events” in order to install the pugin? There is no free standing calendar solution hosted by you?

Hope for quick answer 🙂

Hi Peter,

Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out! It sounds like you’ve got ambitious plans here, and we’re thrilled to hear that you’re considering our products for your site! 🙂

Our agency at Modern Tribe takes on a wide variety of design and development projects for Fortune 500, government, higher education institutions, and well-funded startups. We have a project minimum of 20K USD and would be happy to put you in touch with our sales team. For smaller projects, we maintain a list of third-party developers who might be able to help out with your site.

I’m afraid that we don’t offer hosting solutions for our products at this time–that said, any web host that supports PHP and MySQL should be sufficient to run WordPress and set up your calendar. If you’re anticipating significant traffic on the events portion of your site, you may wish to consider a provider that specializes in high-volume WordPress-based sites. As WordPress is an extremely popular CMS, there are quite a number of options available to choose from!

I hope that helps to get you started here! Thanks again for checking us out, and let us know if you should have any other questions!

Hi Caroline

Does your Community option here include the actual wordpress page or do i need to build a page and install your plugin to it?

[Caroline]

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately, our plugins are designed to be installed and populated on existing WordPress sites (powered by the WordPress CMS from WordPress.org, not hosted on WordPress.com), and we’re unable to provide hosting or setup services for our products. If you’re looking for a quick solution to setting up a WordPress-based site, I’d suggest a web host that provides “one-click install” functionality–this will allow you to quickly deploy a WordPress site onto which any of our plugins can be installed. Our third-party developers may be able to provide recommendations, as well, should you choose to make use of their services!

Does that help to provide a bit more clarity on what’s needed here? Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you! 🙂 Thanks again!
