External services

This plugin can connect to the Google Maps JavaScript API in order to display interactive maps inside event and calendar views.

It sends your configured Google Maps API key (if provided) along with requests made by the visitor’s browser when viewing a page that contains an embedded map. No personal data is sent by the plugin itself, but Google may collect usage data in accordance with their policies. This connection only happens if maps are enabled in the plugin settings and a page with an event location map is viewed.

Even though the WP event plugins market is packed, I find EventKoi’s interface to be simple, beautiful, and designed with the block-based editor in mind. Yet, it still has short-code support, so the classic theme can use it. The support team also responds to inquiries promptly. I received a reply within an hour after posting a bug report on the plugin forum, and within a week, they had a patch released.

EventKoi Lite is simply amazing! The setup was effortless, and the interface feels clean and modern. I love how lightweight yet feature-rich it is — creating and displaying events has never been smoother. The performance and design both stand out. Definitely one of the best event plugins I’ve used on WordPress!

EventKoi Lite is the new kid on the block when it comes to event plugins in WordPress. While many of the old school plugins have years of technical debt, EventKoi is a fresh start. It’s block-based first with support for shortcodes. Creating events is easy and straightforward. The user interface is a breeze to use and fits right in with the WordPress backend. Every free plugin seems to have an upsell to a pro version. This one is no exception. However, unlike many other plugins, the upsell here is done in a tasteful way. Overall, this product is a joy to use and it’s only just getting started. I’m looking forward to seeing what this becomes in the next few years.
