All event listings look really weird!

Make sure that you checked the ‘Enable built-in Theater stylesheet’-option in the Theater plugin settings.

I don’t see the Theater Calendar widget

Make sure that you select a page to show your event listings on in the Theater plugin settings.

I really need feature X. Can you add it?

If you are missing a feature that you really need for your website you can:

submit a feature request on the forum or
add it yourself and submit a pull request on GitHub or

Jeero bridges the gap between your ticketing solution and your website.

Tired of manually copying your event data from your external ticketing solution into WordPress? Jeero handles this for you, keeping your website fully updated with showtimes, prices, descriptions, images, and deep links to your online ticketing interface.

Ticketing solutions that are supported:

Calendar/event plugins that are supported:

All In One Event Calendar
All Goodlayers themes that use their Event Post Type plugin
EventON
Events Schedule WordPress Plugin
Modern Events Calendar
Sugar Calendar
Theater for WordPress
The Events Calendar
Very Simple Event List
WP Event Manager

Are you missing a ticketing solution?

My goal is to provide imports from any ticketing system to any calendar plugin. Please contact me so that I can include your solution as well.

Get started for free

Slim & Dapper’s Jeero is a subscription-based service. Within the plugin, you can easily set up a free subscription. The free subscription is fully functional, displaying up to ten upcoming events at any given time. When you’re ready to display more events, you can upgrade to a paid plan.

\n","installation":"

Go to Plugins -> Add New and look for ‘Jeero’.
Install and activate the Jeero plugin.
Go to Jeero in the WordPress admin and click on ‘Add Import’.
Select your ticketing solution and your calendar plugin and submit the form.
Fill in the missing fields in the form. Submit the form.

Wait a couple of minutes (max 5) and go to your Calendar plugin.

You should see the first 10 upcoming events that are coming from your ticketing solutions.

\n","faq":"\n

\nHow do I upgrade?\n\n

I am still working on the subscription engine. Once it is ready the possibility to upgrade will be made available inside the plugin. It shouldn’t take long. For now you can contact me so I can upgrade you manually.

\nHow much will it cost?\n\n

Subscription rates will range from €20 – €30 per month, depending on your total number of events.
