Our Events Social Sharing add-on for Event Espresso 4 will allow your registrants/attendees to tell friends about their registration by sharing a message on social networks like Google +, Twitter, and Facebook. This is a great way to add some social proof and get the word out about your events.

Our add-on will add social sharing buttons for Twitter, Google +, and Facebook on the thank you page which appears at the end of registration checkout. Here is an example:

The Events Social Sharing add-on is a WordPress plugin and can be installed through your dashboard. You can purchase it today from our store.

Here is some additional information about the add-on that you may find helpful:

The add-on is compatible with Event Espresso 4.4.4 and up.

How can I change the heading?
Yes, this can be done using a WordPress filter and an example is available on our documentation page for the Events Social Sharing add-on.

Can I customize the tweet message for Twitter?
Yes, this can also be customized by using a gettext filter and an example is also available on our documentation page for the Events Social Sharing add-on.

Will other social networks be available?

  1. Hi Lorenzo,

    This is exactly what we wanted! I would love if you would add to the post how someone can add this on, i.e.: “How do I get started?” and explain where a user can purchase it.

    Thanks,

    Tim
