Give visitors more ways to find events

Events Search & Filter Bar Pro extends event search and filtering on sites that use The Events Calendar. The calendar continues to manage events; the addon helps visitors find them.

Search and refine event listings

Pro keyword searches can match event descriptions, venue names, and organizer names as well as titles. Visitors can also filter by category, tag, venue, or organizer. The location filter matches the city, state or region, and country recorded for event venues.

The bar also supports date presets for Today, Tomorrow, This weekend, This week, Next week, This month, and Next month, plus custom date ranges. Shareable URLs can preserve a selected search, date range, sort, or page.

Place filters and results

Additional filters can appear behind a Filters button or remain visible below the main bar. Choose pill, dropdown, or filled trigger styles. Search submissions can display results on the same page or go to a dedicated events search results page.

Present results on the events page

The Modern card design adds a date badge to the event picture. For a full takeover, replace The Events Calendar’s List view with the bar and its event results.

Set up the Pro addon

Use Pro with either the free or Pro version of The Events Calendar. Add the search bar and results areas with the extension’s shortcodes, then pick filters, placement, results destination, and card design in the options. To take over the events page, configure the List view replacement there.

Keep existing placements

Pro retains the same shortcodes, settings, and CSS class names. Existing version 1.x shortcodes remain accepted, with the older layout, show-events, disable-past-events, and content-type attributes mapped to the newer engine.
