Description
Event Schedule for ABOSS turns your ABOSS performance data into a clean, styleable tour list on your WordPress site — no copy-pasting, no manual updates.
The plugin fetches your shows from the ABOSS public API and renders them with a shortcode. It syncs in the background, so visitors never wait on an API call.
ABOSS Events Pro
This is the free edition. ABOSS Events Pro builds on it with search-engine-ready event listings and a calendar feed, shareable per-performance pages, a block and page-builder widgets, ticket-click tracking, import/export and on-demand sync, plus automatic updates and priority support.
Features
- Show your schedule anywhere — drop
[aboss_events slug="your-display"]on any page, post or text widget - Multiple schedules — connect several ABOSS projects and create as many displays as you need
- Automatic background sync via WP-Cron — on the schedule you choose, with no extra API calls on each page view
- Ticket-button states — on sale, last tickets, sold out and not-yet-on-sale, each with its own label
- Full styling control — colours, labels and rows globally, plus per-display options: which fields to show, the “last tickets” threshold, label overrides and a custom “no performances” message
- Self-hosted & privacy-friendly — your data stays between your own site and ABOSS; the plugin does not phone home

External services
This plugin connects to the ABOSS public API (https://data.a-boss.net) to fetch the event/performance data of your own ABOSS account and show it on your site. This is required for the plugin to function: the schedule it renders comes entirely from this service.
What is sent, and when:
- What: your ABOSS agency ID, project ID and API (Bearer) token, plus a date range (a “from” and “to” date) to bound the request.
- When: during the scheduled background sync (on the interval you configure per profile), when a profile is first created, and when you click Test connection on the profile screen. No event data is sent to any other party, and the plugin does not transmit visitor data.
ABOSS is a third-party service operated by ABOSS B.V. By using this plugin you agree to ABOSS’s terms and privacy policy:

FAQ
-
Do I need an ABOSS account?
-
Yes. This plugin displays data from your existing ABOSS account via the ABOSS public API. You provide your own API token in the plugin settings.
-
Is this an official ABOSS plugin?
-
No. Event Schedule for ABOSS is an independent product by esomnia and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by ABOSS B.V. “ABOSS” is a trademark of ABOSS B.V.; the name is used here only to indicate compatibility.
-
Where does my data go?
-
Nowhere except between your own server and the ABOSS API. The free plugin does not send your data anywhere else and does not phone home.
-
Can I display more than one artist or tour?
-
Yes. Create a profile per ABOSS project and a display per schedule you want to show, then place each display’s shortcode where you need it.
-
How do I show my schedule with a page builder?
-
The free plugin uses a shortcode, which works in every page builder’s shortcode/HTML element. Native block and page-builder widgets are part of ABOSS Events Pro — see aboss-events.com.
-
I’m upgrading to Pro — will I keep my profiles and settings?
-
Yes. ABOSS Events Pro reads exactly the same profiles, displays and settings as the free version, so nothing is lost. Install and activate Pro, then deactivate and delete the free “Event Schedule for ABOSS” plugin. Deleting the free version while Pro is installed will not remove your data — both editions share the same storage, and your data is only cleaned up when the last of the two is removed.
