What Is EventOn Wishlist Add-on?
EventOn Wishlist Add-on is developed by EventON and is an events plugin extension for WordPress. It belongs to the events category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for calendar management and attendee engagement.
The plugin solves the problem of users losing track of events they are interested in by providing a dedicated “Save” or “Like” button on calendar tiles. It is designed for site owners who want to track which events are most popular and provide a better UX for frequent visitors.
EventOn Wishlist Add-on Features
The core feature set is built around user-interactivity and data visibility for both the visitor and the administrator.
User Personalization and Bookmarking
Logged-in users can like events and add them to a personal wishlist with a single click. This functionality allows users to remember events they are interested in without leaving the site. The wishlist manager can be placed on any page using a shortcode to display a user’s saved items in a clean layout.
Social Proof and Like Counts
The plugin can display the total number of likes an event has received directly on the EventTop. Administrators can also view these metrics from the WordPress backend under the All Events section. This data helps organizers identify high-demand sessions and promote popular content effectively.
Customization and Styling
Site owners can adjust icons, text labels, and styles for the wishlist buttons within the main EventON settings. This ensures the “Like” or “Bookmark” buttons match the overall theme of the website. The plugin supports custom icons and words to fit specific industry needs, from festivals to corporate workshops.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the add-on starts at $40 per year for a single site license. WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan starting at $9.99/month.

|---|---|---|---|
| Single Site | $40.00 / year | 1 Site | Updates & Support |

Charity and Fundraising Events
Participants can bookmark races or charity runs they are interested in joining. Organizers can use the admin like-counts to see which fundraisers are generating the most buzz and adjust their marketing efforts accordingly.
