Description

This plugin allows you to automatically collect and display events from subsites within a WordPress Multisite installation on the main site. It supports:

  • Daily synchronization via cron job
  • Manual synchronization via admin interface
  • Selection of which subsites to include
  • Import and update of event content and metadata
  • Clean removal of outdated events

The plugin works with “The Events Calendar” and pulls tribe_events from each selected subsite into the main site’s event calendar.

  1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/multisite-event-sync/
  2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu in the main site admin
  3. Navigate to Event Sync in the admin menu
  4. Select the subsites you want to include
  5. Click Save Selection and run manual sync, or wait for the daily cron to run
  1. Admin interface to select subsites and start sync manually

Does this plugin work without “The Events Calendar”?

No, it requires “The Events Calendar” plugin to be active on the subsites and the main site.

Does it sync events both ways?

No. Events are imported from the subsites to the main site only.

What happens if an event is deleted on a subsite?

It will automatically be removed from the main site during the next synchronization.

Can I disable certain subsites from being synced?

Yes, you can choose which subsites to include via checkboxes in the admin panel.

Thank you, great work done

Finally an easy solution for managing events across our network!

We are a nonprofit organization with several locations, each running its own WordPress subsite. Keeping all event calendars in sync on the main site used to be a real hassle — often resulting in outdated or missing entries.

With the Multisite Event Sync plugin, we can now automatically pull events from each subsite into the main calendar with ease. What we appreciate most:

  • automatic daily synchronization,
  • a clear admin panel where we can select which subsites to include,
  • and the option to trigger a manual sync whenever needed.

Setup was quick and everything has worked smoothly since. For any organization running a WordPress Multisite and looking for a centralized event overview — this plugin is a huge time-saver.

Big thanks to the developer for making our lives easier!
