The WordPress.org version imports public future and past events from one configured public Meetup group. The plugin is designed for organizers who want to publish Meetup events on their own WordPress site without exposing unnecessary personal data. It imports event metadata, creates event pages with schema.org Event structured data, and provides a shortcode for listing events. Need more import workflows? [Hyperthings Event Importer for Meetup – Pro](https://hyperthings.es/meetup-importer/) is available separately for teams that need scheduled imports, authenticated session imports, direct event URL imports, multisite workflows, or advanced schema controls. #### Features * Configure one Meetup group by group URL or slug. * Test and resolve the configured group before importing. * Manually import public future and past events. * Track recent import history. * Control update policies for existing events, status, category, content, and images. * Configure event URL slug, import status, import category, frontend time format, and direct Meetup listing links. * Import public event descriptions, venue data, coordinates, attendee counts, waitlist counts, capacity, and images when available. * Create one WordPress event post per Meetup event. * Use Meetup event IDs as stable event slugs. * Output schema.org Event JSON-LD on single event pages. * Display event maps using imported coordinates. * Use imported event images as featured images. * List events with the `[ht_meetups_events]` shortcode. * Add an upcoming events widget to sidebars and widget areas. * Use conditional Elementor and WPBakery display elements when those builders are installed. * Sync common event metadata for The Events Calendar, Events Manager, and GatherPress when those plugins are present. * Choose shortcode layout: list, grid, or calendar. * Control which event details are visible on the frontend. #### Privacy The plugin is intentionally focused on event publishing. It does not display attendee names or organizer names. Review Meetup’s terms and your own privacy obligations before importing event data. ### External services #### Meetup This plugin connects to Meetup to fetch event and group pages. This is required to import event data into WordPress. When an administrator tests a group or imports group events, the plugin sends the requested Meetup group or event URL to Meetup. Service provider: Meetup LLC. Terms of Service: https://www.meetup.com/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://www.meetup.com/privacy/ #### OpenStreetMap This plugin may embed OpenStreetMap maps on imported event pages when latitude and longitude are available. This is used to show event locations. When a visitor views an imported event page with a coordinate-based map enabled, the visitor’s browser requests map embed content from OpenStreetMap. The map URL includes the event coordinates or approximate rounded coordinates, depending on the plugin location privacy setting. Service provider: OpenStreetMap Foundation and its contributors. Terms of Use: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use Privacy Policy: https://osmfoundation. org/wiki/Privacy_Policy #### Google Maps This plugin may embed Google Maps when coordinates are unavailable but a venue, address, or city is available. This is used as a fallback map display for imported event locations. When a visitor views an imported event page that uses this fallback, the visitor’s browser requests an embedded map from Google Maps. The map request includes the configured event venue, address, or city. Service provider: Google LLC.
