What it does
A crowded events calendar is hard to browse. When dozens of entries share the same month, visitors have to scroll and scan to find the few that interest them. This add-on extends the filtering in EventON so people can sort events by event type, time of day, location and other categories you set up. Long lists of filter terms stay manageable, because you can show only a few at first with a See All option, and visitors can search within each filter to jump straight to the term they want.
You also get control over where and how filters appear. Filters can sit in a sidebar next to the calendar instead of the usual top bar, open in a lightbox pop-up, or appear as a fast filter bar in the calendar header using event type icons. On the admin side, a block-based calendar shortcode generator lets you add and adjust filters from the backend. It suits anyone already running EventON who wants visitors to find relevant events with less scrolling.
Best for
- Sites running EventON with large, busy event calendars
- Venues and organizations listing events across many locations
- Community or niche sites with many event categories
