How to Sync Eventbrite to Your WordPress Site (The Easy Way)

If you use Eventbrite to manage your events, you’ve likely run into a common frustration: keeping your WordPress website updated with those same events. Manually copying and pasting titles, dates, and links is a chore, and dedicated “Eventbrite-only” plugins are often bloated and complicated.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to seamlessly integrate Eventbrite with WordPress using Pie Calendar and the Eventbrite Connector Add-on.

The best part? This works even if you are using the free version of Pie Calendar.

Why Use The Connector Instead of a Manual List?

Using the Pie Calendar Eventbrite Connector means you only have to manage your events in one place. When you update an event on Eventbrite, the changes automatically sync to your WordPress site. No double entry, no broken links, and no missed updates.

Step 1: Install the Necessary Plugins

To get started, you’ll need two things:

1. Pie Calendar: You can download the free version or upgrade to Pro for advanced styling features.
2. The Eventbrite Connector Add-on: Available on the Pie Calendar website. Click here to learn more >

Once you have the files, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload in your WordPress dashboard to install and activate both.

Step 2: Connect WordPress to Eventbrite

Once activated, navigate to Settings > Pie Calendar Connector. You’ll see a field for a Private Token. Here is how to get it:

1. Log in to your Eventbrite account.
2. Go to Account Settings > Developer Links > API Keys.
3. Click Create API Key (if you don’t have one). Fill in your website URL and name.
4. Copy your Private Token and paste it back into the Pie Calendar settings in WordPress.
5. Click Save, select your Organization, and save once more.

Step 3: Setting Up Webhooks (Optional but Recommended)

Webhooks allow Eventbrite to “tell” Pie Calendar the exact moment an event changes so your site stays updated in real-time.

1. In your Pie Calendar settings, copy the Endpoint URL.
2. In Eventbrite, go to Webhooks > Add Webhook.
3. Paste your URL into the Payload URL field.
4. Select All Events and check all actions, then click Add Webhook.

Step 4: Display Your Events

Now for the fun part! You can display your events on any page or post using the Pie Calendar block.

1. Open the page where you want the calendar.
2. Add the Pie Calendar Block.
3. In the block settings on the right, go to Event Sources.
4. Uncheck “Native” (unless you have local WordPress events too) and check Eventbrite.

Your Eventbrite events will instantly appear on your site!

Take it to the Next Level with Pie Calendar Pro

While the free version of Pie Calendar works perfectly for displaying your events, Pie Calendar Pro adds several features that make your calendar look even more professional:

• List View with Images: Show off your Eventbrite event imagery directly in a beautiful list layout.
• Featured Images in Popovers: When a user clicks an event, they’ll see the full event image in the details pop-up.
• Add to Calendar Links: Allow your visitors to add your Eventbrite events directly to their Google or Apple calendars with one click.
• Advanced Filtering: Filter events by taxonomy or hide past events automatically.
