Plugin Description
GatherPress, a plugin created by and for the WordPress community, is a response to the community’s desire for novel event management tools that meet the diverse needs of event organizers and members. Its agenda and roadmap align with that of the WordPress community, ensuring that it evolves in tandem with our collective wants and needs.
We propose a pilot program to test GatherPress, a community-developed plugin, within interested and active WordPress meetup groups. This initiative stems from our community’s need for an innovative event management tool tailored to the unique demands of WordPress event organizers and participants.

This project is for the collaborative effort to build a compelling event management application using open source tools such as WordPress and BuddyPress and the grit sweat and love of the community, for the community.
We’re creating the very network features we need to host events and gather well.
Features
- Event Scheduling: set dates, times, and provide event information details.
- Attendee registration.
- Allow attendees to add guests.
- Ability for attendees to be listed anonymously (only administrators will see their names).
- Emailing system: to send emails to all the group members, or a specific event attendees, non-attendees, and those on the waiting list.
- In person events: add the venue, with an optional map (refer to point 4)
- Online event management: add the video meeting URL.
- Multi-event management: capability to handle multiple events simultaneously.
- Multisite environment: This setup allows for centralized management while providing flexibility for each site to host its own unique events with its settings (language, timezone, date time format) and set of users.
- Works with blocks.
- Fully internationalized.
- Freedom to add content besides the default event/venue blocks, to remove default blocks, and add synced patterns (useful for adding consistent information across all events).
