Anything that takes little effort, has to have a catch \u2013 it\u2019s the way the world works. And yet here I am, about to share a WordPress plugin with you, that may just do that very thing.<\/p>\n
Today I\u2019m introducing GetEvents, a plugin that claims to do all of the above. I have to say I\u2019m always a sucker for jumping on anything\u00a0that says it will improve my site\u2019s level of returning traffic, so\u00a0how about we give it the benefit of the doubt and see what it has to offer first.<\/p>\n
GetEvents For WordPress<\/p>\n
GetEvents is a platform that helps people to find events wherever they are in the world. Via the installation of a simple plugin, you can quickly and easily create a page on your website dedicated to events that are happening in a location of your choosing.<\/p>\n
Users can browse events based on the parameters you choose in your settings. For example if you\u2019re a tech blog, you can choose to display tech events. Restaurants and hotels can display events happening in their local area for tourists to discover.<\/p>\n
You can also display your own events by adding it to your GetEvents login area. Your event will display alongside others in the area you select, helping to drive engagement and add variety to your listings.<\/p>\n
Because GetEvents always has the latest content, it can provide great benefits for your website\u2019s level of returning visitors. Your website will always have regular updates in the form of event listings, with content that people are looking for which ensures people will continue to come back to your website to check for updates and create a buzz around your site.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, let\u2019s take a look at GetEvents in more detail. I\u2019ll walk you through creating an account, getting the plugin set up and creating your first GetEvents page for your WordPress website.<\/p>\n
GetEvents Plugin Review<\/p>\n
The GetEvents plugin is currently free to download and install. Head to the GetEvents plugin page which can be found in the WordPress.org plugin directory, and download the plugin to your hard drive.<\/p>\n
From within your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Plugins and Add New. Browse your hard drive for the GetEvents .zip file and click Upload. Finally activate the plugin.<\/p>\n
To view the GetEvents settings area, select GetEvents from the left navigation area of your WordPress Dashboard. At this stage you\u2019ll be asked to either create an account or login with your existing details.<\/p>\n
Creating an account is simple. Type in your Website, Email, Name and Password, then click Create Account. Be sure to check your emails for your confirmation message and to successfully activate your installation.<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve logged in, you should see a screen similar to the one above. This is your GetEvents plugin dashboard and it\u2019s where you can set up your first events page. As you can see there\u2019s a piece of example text to show you the type of thing you could add to your page. Go ahead and change this to a location of your choosing.<\/p>\n
For this review I\u2019ve chosen to set my location as Event In London. Once you\u2019ve chosen your location, click the Add Page To WordPress button. The plugin will now automatically create a draft page where your events listing will appear when published.<\/p>\n
In the screenshot above you can see there are further fields you can now fill in. These include:<\/p>\n
Sub-Title \u2013 here you can explain a little further about the types of events you\u2019ll be listing on the page for example.
\nAdd Keyword \u2013 this field is self-explanatory and allows you add the main keywords associated with the events you\u2019d like to list. \u00a0Example keywords could be; \u2018London Events\u2019, \u2018Days Out London\u2019 or \u2018Tech Events London\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n
With the GetEvents plugin you can further customize the look of your events page. Clicking either Background, Header or Link will bring up a color picker tool. Here you can change the colors of the respective elements, enabling you to match your page to your website\u2019s branding.<\/p>\n
