What it does
A text-only event listing can leave visitors guessing what an event looks like. This add-on gives each event its own set of photos, so a concert, festival or cooking class can be shown through pictures from past or current sessions. Images appear directly inside the EventON EventCard, and clicking them opens a full-screen lightbox that works on desktop and mobile screens. Visitors move through the gallery with next and previous controls and can read a title and caption on each photo.
Managing photos happens on each event's edit page, where you can add, edit or delete images without leaving the event you are working on. A secondary gallery box on the EventCard gives you room for an extra photo collection while keeping the layout tidy. In the EventON settings you can pick a light or dark gallery theme and choose thumbnail sizes to match your site's look. The add-on requires the main EventON plugin and fits sites that already run their calendar on it.
Best for
- Event organizers already running an EventON calendar
- Festival, concert and venue websites with event photography
- Culinary, workshop and community event sites

Questions about Event Photos Plus
Do I need EventON for this add-on to work?
Yes. Event Photos Plus is an extension for EventON and requires the main EventON plugin. It adds gallery features to EventON events and EventCards, and it does not need any other plugins for the gallery functionality.
Where do the photos appear on my site?
Photos are shown inside the EventON EventCard for each event, with an optional secondary gallery box for more images. When a visitor clicks a photo, it opens in a full-screen lightbox with next and previous controls for browsing the rest of the gallery.
Can I change how the gallery looks?
You can choose between a light or dark gallery theme and pick from several thumbnail sizes in the EventON settings. This lets you match the gallery to your site's style without editing code.
Can I add captions to individual photos?
Yes. Each photo can have a title and a caption, and both appear in the lightbox when visitors view the image. You manage these along with the photos on each event's edit page.

The code of Event Photos Plus is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
