For setup guides, Pro plans, and add-on details, visit **[wpeventsplus.com](https://wpeventsplus.com)**. ### External services EventPlus connects to several third-party services. Each entry below describes the service, what data is sent, when it is sent, every host the plugin contacts for that service, and links to the service’s terms of use and privacy policy. #### 1. Freemius (licensing, upgrades & checkout) — Lite + Pro Freemius powers the optional opt-in, license activation, account management, billing, and Pro upgrade flow that ship inside the plugin (via the bundled Freemius WordPress SDK in `vendor/freemius/`). * **What data is sent:** Site URL, admin email address, WordPress and PHP version, plugin slug and version, license key and activation status, and (when the administrator opens the Account or Pricing screens) basic checkout context. No data is sent if the administrator chooses “Skip” on the opt-in prompt. * **When it is sent:** Only when the administrator interacts with the Freemius opt-in prompt, activates / deactivates / syncs a Pro license, opens the **EventPlus- > Account / Pricing / License & billing** screens, or when the SDK performs its periodic background license check after the user has opted in. * **Hosts contacted (by the Freemius SDK):** - `api.freemius.com` — REST API for opt-in, license, account, and update checks. - `wp.freemius.com` — production WordPress endpoints used by the SDK. - `checkout.freemius.com` — embedded checkout iframe loaded on the Pricing screen. - `users.freemius.com` — administrator dashboard links opened on user click. - `dashboard.freemius.com` — marketing/banner assets shown inside the SDK’s Add-ons screen. - `www.mcafeesecure.com` — “Secure HTTPS” verification badge displayed by the SDK on the checkout/pricing header. * **Freemius Terms of Service:** https://freemius.com/terms/ * **Freemius Privacy Policy:** https://freemius.com/privacy/ #### 2. Google Calendar (Add to Calendar link) — Lite The single-event frontend includes an optional “Add to Google Calendar” link for site visitors. * **What data is sent:** Event title, start/end date-time, location, and description, encoded in a URL query string and passed to `calendar.google.com` only when the link is clicked. * **When it is sent:** Only when a visitor explicitly clicks the “Add to Google Calendar” link. Nothing is sent automatically on page load. * **Host contacted:** `calendar.google.com` (on click). * **Google Terms of Service:** https://policies.google.com/terms * **Google Privacy Policy:** https://policies.google.com/privacy The following services are used only in **EventPlus Pro** and its optional paid add-ons. They are **never active in EventPlus Lite**. The payment, mapping, AI, and ticket QR services listed for EventPlus Pro are not included in this WordPress.org zip and are never called by EventPlus Lite. ### Development EventPlus Lite is developed and maintained by **[EventPlus](https://wpeventsplus.com)** ( WordPress.org account: [digdan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/digdan/)). Support and documentation: **[wpeventsplus.com](https://wpeventsplus.com)**. EventPlus Lite is built with **React**, **TypeScript**, **Vite**, **Tailwind CSS**, and the **WordPress REST API**. #### Readable assets * **Public CSS/JS** ships unminified: `public/css/eventplus-public.css` and `public/ js/eventplus-public.js` * **Admin UI** is a production Vite bundle: `build/assets/index.js` and `build/ assets/index.css` * **Gutenberg blocks** are a production bundle: `build/blocks/index.js` #### Source code The complete uncompiled human-readable source for every compiled file in this plugin— the React/TypeScript sources (`src/`), the Vite and Node build configuration, and` package.json` — is published under GPLv2 (or later) at: https://github.com/elbisnero/eventplus-lite Those sources are not bundled in this WordPress.org zip to keep the download small; the repository above is public, free to access, and requires no account. #### Build from source Clone the repository above (not this zip), then: 1. Install **Node.js 18+** and **npm 9+** 2. Run `npm install --legacy-peer-deps` 3. Run `npm run build:wordpress:full` to compile the admin UI into `build/assets/index. js` and `build/assets/index.css` 4. Run `node scripts/wp-blocks-build.mjs --lite` to compile the Lite Gutenberg blocks into `build/blocks/index.js` Those three files are the only compiled files in this plugin, and the commands above reproduce them byte for byte. Everything else in this zip — all PHP, plus public/css/eventplus-public.css and `public/js/eventplus-public.js` — already ships as human-readable source. ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard with event stats and recent events⌉⌊Dashboard with event stats and recent events⌉[ Dashboard with event stats and recent events [⌊Events list in the admin⌉⌊Events list in the admin⌉[ Events list in the admin [⌊Create new event wizard⌉⌊Create new event wizard⌉[ Create new event wizard [⌊Edit event details⌉⌊Edit event details⌉[ Edit event details [⌊Calendar display settings and shortcode⌉⌊Calendar display settings and shortcode⌉[ Calendar display settings and shortcode [⌊General plugin settings⌉⌊General plugin settings⌉[ General plugin settings ## Blocks This plugin provides 9 blocks. * Events Calendar * Registration Form * Eventplus Events List * Eventplus Events Grid * Eventplus Events Map * Eventplus Events Timeline * Eventplus Events Carousel * Eventplus Events Coordinators * Eventplus Attendees ## Installation 1.
