Network-wide Events

[Hope]

Hi there,

I’m working in a multisite environment with Events Calendar Pro installed across the network. I’ve seen this great widget for displaying events from the parent site across sub-sites: https://theeventscalendar.com/cross-site-events-widget-for-multisite-users-from-shenandoah-university/

Are there any pointers in flip-flopping this method – i.e., displaying sub-site events on the parent site? I suspect this could be a heavy database query on my network with over 40 subsites. Have you come across any efficient ways of doing this?

Thanks!

Hey Hope,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Sure thing, you can query events from across your whole network but like you said, it could become a really intense database hit depending on the number of sites and the number of events. You could skirt this a little by only running the query on occasion and caching the results so it isn’t running all the time.

An example approach that you could take would be something like:

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
