HappenBoard adds a real event calendar to your WordPress site.
Create an event once and repeat it every week, show it as a calendar, a list or a grid, and let visitors reserve a free place or pay by card with Stripe or WooCommerce.
It all happens on your own site, in the editor you already use, on pages Google can read.
Free plugin. Works with any block theme. Your events and your attendee list stay on your own site.
Built by the team behind SEOPress, trusted by 300,000+ WordPress sites.
Solutions
Conferences and festivals
Multi-day programmes with a timetable people can actually read, speakers and sponsors on the page, and tickets sold from your own site.
Theatres and cultural venues
A season is a series, not forty copies of the same event. Announce the run once and keep control of every single date.
Tourist offices and councils
Everything happening locally on one public calendar that works on any device, for any visitor, and that search engines can read.
Coaches and consultants
Classes on the calendar, appointments in the diary, both booked and paid from the same site, with no third-party widget in the way.
Clubs and associations
The weekly training, the monthly meeting, the annual general assembly: set the rhythm once and let members sign themselves up.
Features
From the first draft to the last check-in: seven reasons teams switch to HappenBoard.
Blocks and templates
Your calendar is not a shortcode. HappenBoard ships 18 server-rendered blocks, 11 ready-made patterns and 4 Site Editor templates, so event pages inherit your theme’s fonts, colors and spacing automatically. Works with block themes out of the box, and every front-end block doubles as an Elementor widget if that is your builder.
Recurring events
Weekly classes, monthly meetups, yearly conferences. HappenBoard expands standard RRULE recurrence into indexed occurrences, so calendars stay fast even with years of dates. Life happened? Pro lets you cancel, move or restore a single occurrence without touching the series.
RSVPs
Visitors RSVP in one step. You get capacity limits, branded confirmation and reminder emails, and a self-service cancellation link. Spam protection is built in and always on: honeypot, signed timestamps and rate limiting, with optional Turnstile and Akismet.
Ticketing · Pro
Create ticket types with prices and capacities, then charge through Stripe Checkout or your existing WooCommerce store. Attendees receive a PDF e-ticket with a QR code; at the door, scan it with the built-in check-in screen. Capacity is validated before payment, so you never oversell a room.
Migration
Migrate from The Events Calendar, Events Manager, Sugar Calendar, EventKoi or Amelia in one click, recurrence rules included, even if the old plugin is already deactivated. ICS import covers everything else. Export any time to CSV, JSON, vCard or a subscribable iCal feed: your data stays yours.
Integrations · Pro
Two-way sync with Google Calendar and Outlook. Signed webhooks that Zapier, Make and n8n accept out of the box. Slack alerts for your team, WhatsApp reminders for attendees, and email automations through MailerPress. Set it up once, then let registrations flow.
SEO and performance
Server-rendered blocks load instantly and are indexed by Google, no JavaScript-only pages that hurt your rankings. Every event ships Event Schema markup for rich results, and SEOPress users get dynamic variables, breadcrumbs and schema handled automatically.
Switching
One click, recurrence rules included, even if the old plugin is already deactivated. You can export again at any time: your data stays yours.
Events, venues, organisers and recurrence rules, converted in one pass.
Bookings and recurring patterns, read straight from its own tables.
Calendars and events, brought over with their dates intact.
Appointments and services, mapped onto booking types.
Every event, straight across, nothing left behind.
Anything else: export a calendar file and import it here.
You do. Events are standard WordPress posts, attendees export to CSV, JSON or vCard, calendars export to iCal, and GDPR export and erase tools are built in. Nothing is locked in and nothing leaves your site without your opt-in.
HappenBoard uses the same RRULE standard as Google Calendar, stores every occurrence in an indexed table, and keeps series in sync when you edit them. Pro adds per-occurrence exceptions: skip one date, move another, restore a third.
