Eventful for Elementor is an Elementor addon for The Events Calendar plugin. It gives you five Elementor widgets — an events grid, events carousel, events slider, events list and events timeline — so you can showcase your events in fully customizable layouts without writing a single line of code.

Design your event sections visually inside the Elementor editor, see changes in real time, and deliver a polished event display on every device.

WHAT’S NEW

Minimal List Template Four — table-style rows with the event type (Virtual / In-Person), title and short description, date and time, and a Register link that reads “Event Ended” once the event is over.
Timeline colour controls — separate Track and Fill colours, and a switch to turn the scroll fill off.
Minimal List image and mobile controls — image height, object fit, and an optional Stack on Mobile layout.
Lighter pages — a Font Awesome subset and per-widget stylesheets mean less CSS on every page.
Turn any widget on or off under Eventful For Elementor Widgets.
Pro layouts in the Elementor panel — Masonry, List, Table, Accordion and Calendar appear in the Eventful category with a padlock, so you can see what Pro adds.

FIVE ELEMENTOR WIDGETS

1. Events Grid — Eventful Grid widget
Display your events in a responsive multi-column grid with independent column and row gaps. Use the Custom layout or switch to one of three ready-made designs.

2. Events Carousel — Eventful Carousel widget
Turn your events into a touch-friendly carousel powered by Swiper.js, with per-breakpoint columns and rows, autoplay, arrows and dots.

3. Events Slider — Eventful Slider widget
One event per slide, with the image running the full width of the slide. Ideal for hero sections and featured-event banners.

4. Events List — Eventful Minimal List widget
A compact row with the image beside the event details. Pick the Custom layout or one of four ready-made designs, including a table-style layout with a Register button. Set the image height and object fit, and optionally stack the image above the text on narrow screens.

5. Events Timeline — Eventful Timeline widget
Events alternate either side of a centre line that fills as the page scrolls (or stays static, if you prefer). Add an optional month and year label between event groups, and set the track and fill colours, line thickness, the dot and the date badge.

Each widget can be switched off individually from the plugin’s admin panel.

CORE FEATURES

Event Query Control

Latest or Featured — show the latest events, or only events marked as featured in The Events Calendar
Upcoming events — show events that have not happened yet, optionally judged by start date
Include or Exclude specific events
Exclude by event type — hide the current (ongoing) event or password-protected events
Hide Free Events — hide events with no price or a price of 0
Hide Events Without Images — keep your layout clean by hiding imageless events
Order By ID, title, event start date, slug or random, in ascending or descending order

AJAX Live Filters

Add a styled filter bar above your events so visitors can narrow results without a page reload:

Category and Tag filters — with IN / AND / NOT IN operators and AND / OR relation between filters
Button-style filter tabs — with event counts, hide-empty option, renamed “All” label, icon and alignment
Live keyword search — with custom label, placeholder, width and alignment
Reset button — clears all active filters in one click

Ready-Made Designs

Switch any widget from the Custom layout to a pre-made template with one click — three for Grid and Carousel, four for Minimal List
Theme colour scheme for featured and non-featured events
Date strip background and gradient controls
Every design is a template file, so it can be overridden from your theme

Sortable Event Elements

Drag to reorder the parts of each event — thumbnail, title, event meta, content and social share — or remove a part to leave it out.

Image Display

Show or hide the featured image
Choose any registered image size
Retina display — load 2x resolution images on high-DPI screens
Thumbnail overlay — show a category badge or date label over the image
Works with image CDNs such as Jetpack Site Accelerator on WordPress.com

Event Meta Fields

Choose which event details appear and configure each independently:

Taxonomy — event category or tag with a custom icon
Venue — address, city, state, country, postal code, phone number; optional Google Maps link
Organizer — organizer name with a custom icon
Price — ticket price with a custom icon
Event Time — start date, end date, or a “Start to End” range in preset formats or your own PHP date format

Title & Content

Show or hide the title; set HTML tag (H1–H6, div, span, p); character limit and alignment
Show excerpt, content with a word or character limit, or full content; control HTML tag stripping; custom ellipsis text

Read More & Social Share

Read More as a styled button or a plain text link, with custom label
Text Link style controls — typography, colour, hover colour, padding, margin, and a Keep on One Line option
Share buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Email and WhatsApp

Pagination

Load More button (AJAX) — with custom button label and end-of-results message

Carousel & Slider Controls

Autoplay with configurable speed and pause-on-hover
Infinite loop and lazy loading
Left-to-Right or Right-to-Left direction
Per-breakpoint columns, rows and slides to scroll (large desktop, desktop, tablet, mobile landscape, mobile)
Navigation arrows and dot pagination, with mobile visibility control and dynamic bullets
Adaptive height, touch swipe, mouse drag, mouse wheel, and tab/keyboard navigation

Accessibility

Visible keyboard focus ring on the live search box
Carousel slides that are off screen can’t be tabbed into or read out by screen readers
Default event meta, venue and excerpt colours meet WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1 or higher)

Full Style Control Inside Elementor

Every element has its own Style section — section title, event box, image, title, event meta, category labels, content, Read More button, filter bar, pagination, and carousel arrows and dots.

Link Options

Link events to their single event page or disable links entirely
Choose link target: Same Tab, New Tab, Parent, or Top
Option to add rel="nofollow" to event links

Developer Friendly

Every template can be overridden from your theme
Loads only what each widget needs — the slider library loads only on pages with a Carousel or Slider, and layout and pre-made template styles only with the widgets that use them
Font Awesome loads as a small subset of the icons the plugin uses
Fully compatible with right-to-left languages — a dedicated RTL stylesheet loads automatically
Bundled libraries load under unique names, so they never clash with Elementor or other plugins
