Connect your WordPress site to your Cohost account and show upcoming events as a list, with click-through to per-event profile pages \u2014 natively in your theme. No iframes. No redirect to a third-party ticketing page.<\/p>\n\n

Cohost is the headless platform for event managers \u2014 events, attendees, ticketing, scanning, check-in, and workflows \u2014 and this plugin embeds your event catalog into any WordPress theme.<\/p>\n\n

Authentication:<\/strong> API token (Bearer). OAuth support is planned.<\/p>\n\n

Brand-aligned UI:<\/strong> uses the canonical Cohost palette (dark #161616<\/code>, light #F2F2F2<\/code>, accent square #f97316<\/code>) and Inter typography. Easy to override from your theme.<\/p>\n\n

Shortcodes<\/h3>\n\n
[cohost_events] \u2014 events grid. All attributes are optional:\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    \n
  • limit<\/code> \u2014 events per page (default 12)<\/li>\n
  • columns<\/code> \u2014 grid columns 1\u20136 (default 3, display only)<\/li>\n
  • from<\/code>, to<\/code> \u2014 ISO date range (e.g. from=\"2026-06-01\" to=\"2026-12-31\"<\/code>)<\/li>\n
  • sort<\/code>, order<\/code> \u2014 e.g. sort=\"startDate\" order=\"asc\"<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
    Example: [cohost_events from=\"2026-06-01\" to=\"2026-12-31\" limit=\"6\" columns=\"2\"]<\/code><\/p>\n\n
    [cohost_event id=\"\u2026\"] \u2014 single event profile. **The `id` attribute accepts either an event ID or an event slug** \u2014 the Cohost API resolves both at the same endpoint, so `[cohost_event id=\"evt_abc123\"]` and `[cohost_event id=\"summer-festival-2026\"]` both work.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    When a configured \"Events page\" exists, clicking a card navigates to \/{page-slug}\/{event-id-or-slug}<\/code> and the same page renders the profile.<\/p>\n\n
    Brand<\/h3>\n\n
    The plugin ships the canonical Cohost dark \"C\" app icon and dark wordmark. The accent square is always #f97316<\/code>. The full Cohost brand guide is published at https:\/\/cohost.vip\/brand.<\/p>\n\n
    Privacy & data<\/h3>\n\n
    This plugin makes outbound HTTP requests to two Cohost-operated services:<\/p>\n\n
      \n
    1. Cohost API<\/strong> (default https:\/\/api.cohost.vip\/v1<\/code>) \u2014 fetches the events the site displays. Each request includes the Bearer API token configured in Cohost \u2192 Settings<\/strong>. No user data leaves your site; only your token is sent. The base URL is configurable for self-hosted or staging Cohost environments.<\/p><\/li>\n
    2. Cohost templates manifest<\/strong> (default https:\/\/templates.cohost.vip\/wp\/templates.json<\/code>) \u2014 fetched when an admin opens the Cohost \u2192 Templates<\/strong> page. Returns a list of starter layouts the admin can apply. No user data is sent. The URL is configurable under Settings \u2192 Advanced.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
      The plugin does not:<\/p>\n\n
        \n
      • Track end-users or store cookies.<\/li>\n
      • Send page-view analytics, telemetry, or installation pings.<\/li>\n
      • Embed third-party scripts on the public-facing site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
        The plugin caches API responses in WP transients (60-second TTL for events, 15-minute TTL for templates) to minimize outbound traffic. All cached data is removed when the plugin is uninstalled.<\/p>\n\n
        For Cohost's privacy policy covering data on the Cohost side, see https:\/\/cohost.vip\/legal\/privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/ (or upload the zip via Plugins \u2192 Add New).<\/li>\n
        2. Activate it in WP Admin \u2192 Plugins.<\/li>\n
        3. Open Cohost in the admin menu (or Settings \u2192 Cohost).<\/li>\n
        4. Paste your Cohost API token and save.<\/li>\n
        5. Pick the WordPress page that will host the events list and add [cohost_events]<\/code> to it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          0.1.1<\/h4>\n\n
            \n
          • Fix privacy policy URL.<\/li>\n
          • Bump \"Tested up to\" to 7.0.<\/li>\n
          • Remove ?cohost_event=<\/code> query-string fallback for event profiles \u2014 profiles now route exclusively through the registered rewrite rule (cohost_event_id<\/code> query var), eliminating the unauthenticated $_GET<\/code> read flagged in review. Event profiles now require pretty permalinks; the settings page shows a warning if WordPress is on \"Plain\" permalinks and event cards render unlinked in that case.<\/li>\n
          • Replace $_GET<\/code>-based admin notice flags with one-shot user-scoped transients (settings page + templates page). No $_GET<\/code>\/$_POST<\/code> reads happen outside nonce-verified handlers.<\/li>\n
          • Escape rendered event content blocks via wp_kses_post()<\/code> on the front-end profile template; drop the silencing phpcs:ignore<\/code>.<\/li>\n
          • Escape the concatenated \"View page\" link in template-applied admin notices via wp_kses()<\/code> with an explicit allowed-HTML allowlist.<\/li>\n
          • Prefix uninstall.php<\/code> locals ($cohost_wp_options<\/code>, $cohost_wp_option<\/code>) so they don't trip Plugin Check's PrefixAllGlobals scanner.<\/li>\n
          • Annotate the two intentional bulk-transient-purge $wpdb->query()<\/code> calls (API client + uninstall) with explicit phpcs:ignore<\/code> and rationale.<\/li>\n
          • Suppress PrefixAllGlobals file-wide in the two included template files, where locals are template-scoped (not globals) but the scanner can't tell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
            0.1.0<\/h4>\n\n
              \n
            • Initial release.<\/li>\n
            • Events list + event profile shortcodes.<\/li>\n
            • Filters: limit<\/code>, columns<\/code>, from<\/code>, to<\/code>, sort<\/code>, order<\/code>.<\/li>\n
            • [cohost_event]<\/code> accepts ID or slug.<\/li>\n
            • API token authentication.<\/li>\n
            • Pretty URLs via rewrite rule.<\/li>\n
            • Branded admin chrome and brand-aligned frontend styles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Show your Cohost events on your own WordPress site \u2014 your branding, your domain, your audience.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/311525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311525"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/cohost"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=311525"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=311525"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=311525"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=311525"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=311525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
