What Is EventOn Event Map Add-on?
EventOn Event Map Add-on is developed by EventON and is an events extension for WordPress. Originally released in 2014, it has become a standard requirement for organizations managing geographically dispersed activities. It belongs to the events category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for venue management and scheduling.
The plugin solves the problem of disconnected event listings by providing a holistic geographical view. It is built specifically for festival organizers, city guides, and multi-venue businesses that need to show where several events are happening at once.
EventOn Event Map Add-on Features
The feature set is built around interactive navigation and custom data visualization for location-based scheduling.
Interactive Map Controls
Events Map includes an auto-pan feature that focuses the map view as users browse different events, ensuring a user-friendly experience. The map integrates directly with the main calendar filtering logic, allowing users to sort by category or date. When filters are applied, the map markers update dynamically to match the current search criteria in the events management interface.
Advanced Marker Management
The plugin utilizes map clusters to organize high-density areas where multiple events occur at the same location. Instead of overlapping pins, clusters show a single grouped icon that expands upon interaction. You can also utilize custom markers and specialized info windows to match your website branding and provide immediate event details upon clicking a pin.
Alternative Display Modes
Beyond the standard full-width view, Events Map offers a side-by-side mode. This layout displays an interactive map on one side and a scrollable event list on the other. Clicking a marker in this view highlights the specific event details in the list, making it easier for users to transition from browsing locations to reading descriptions.
Pricing
The retail price for a single site license is $60, billed annually for updates and support. WPExclusive members access it as part of their inclusive plan.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard License | $60.00 | 1 Site | 1 Year Updates |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | Events Map + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers Events Map plus hundreds of other plugins and themes, which is significantly more cost-effective than purchasing individual premium licenses for every client project.
