Independent artist (vendor) calendar for EDD + FES setup

[Srikanth Nair]

Hello!

We are setting up a platform for musicians with Astoundify Marketify theme and Easy Digital Downloads + Front End Submissions + Commissions (amongst other plugins).

We would like to give our artists (front end vendors) their own calendar that they can manage to add their gigs, concerts etc, which they can then display on their profile page as a widget. See a sample profile page with placeholder for calendar: https://alpha.musicequity.com/artist/geeksounds/

Will the Events Calendar help us to achieve this? We’ve had a look at EDD Bookings (https://easydigitaldownloads.com/downloads/edd-bookings/) but don’t believe that’s what we need.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer our question.

Sincerely,
Sri

Hello Sri.

That sounds like an awesome project!

I think The Events Calendar (free) and Events Calendar PRO would be a good fit here. The Events Calendar will provide the calendar format you’re looking for to display events. Events Calendar will extend the plugin further to provide shortcodes you can use to embed the calendar in other places on the site, like artist profile pages.

You can take all of this a little further and connect The Events Calendar with EDD by adding both Event Tickets (free) and Event Tickets Plus to the mix. That would allow you to create tickets for the concerts/gigs/etc. and sell them directly from the event post.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

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.
