imEvent WordPress Theme

imEvent is primarily built around its own theme options and shortcode system. WPBakery is generally supported, and most layout sections can be edited through it. Full Elementor compatibility depends on the theme version. Some imEvent-specific sections, like the schedule builder and speaker grid, may not expose all options through Elementor’s drag-and-drop interface and may need direct template editing.

Yes. imEvent is designed to work with WooCommerce for ticket sales. You create ticket products in WooCommerce and link them to your event posts. The theme includes template hooks to display purchase buttons on event pages. For more complex setups like tiered pricing, group tickets, or seat selection, additional WooCommerce extensions or custom development are needed.

imEvent includes a Speaker custom post type. You create individual speaker posts with photo, bio, and social links, then assign them to sessions within the schedule builder. The relationship between speakers and events is managed through the theme’s admin interface. If you need speakers assigned to multiple events or filtered by topic, that requires custom development beyond the default setup.

imEvent supports translation through WPML and Polylang. The theme’s custom post types and theme options strings need to be registered as translatable within the respective plugin settings. Out of the box, the theme is translation-ready with a .pot file included. Full multilingual functionality with translated schedules and speaker profiles typically needs some configuration work to get right.

Not natively. imEvent is structured around single events with a defined date range. For weekly classes, monthly meetups, or recurring conferences, you need a plugin like The Events Calendar or Event Organiser to handle recurrence logic. An imEvent developer can integrate one of these plugins and map the output to imEvent’s schedule display templates.

The imEvent schedule builder allows you to define multiple days and assign sessions to each day with separate time slots. In the event admin screen, you add day tabs and populate each with sessions, speakers, and timing. The frontend displays a tabbed schedule automatically. If your event spans more than four or five days, the tab display can become unwieldy and may need custom layout work.

imEvent does not have built-in video streaming or virtual attendance features. For hybrid events, you would typically embed a Zoom or YouTube Live link within session descriptions and use a separate platform for attendee management. A developer can add a gated content layer so only registered attendees see the stream links, using a membership or access control plugin alongside imEvent.

Always use a child theme for any CSS or template changes. Customisations made directly in the parent theme files will be overwritten when you update. Theme options saved through the Customizer or the theme’s options panel are stored in the database and are not affected by updates. Before updating, take a full backup of your site and test the update on a staging environment first.

imEvent includes a venue location field that outputs a Google Map on the event page. This requires a valid Google Maps API key with the Maps JavaScript API and Geocoding API enabled. Enter the API key in the theme options panel. Without a valid key, the map section will either show an error or a blank area. The API key needs billing enabled in your Google Cloud account.

imEvent was built by Jthemes, a ThemeForest author with a portfolio of event and business themes. Support is provided through the ThemeForest comments and ticket system. Response times vary. If you need ongoing maintenance, updates, or custom development beyond what Jthemes covers directly, hiring an independent imEvent specialist through a platform like Codeable is a practical option.
