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. This service is provided by Google LLC: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.

MeetPure Events connects your WordPress site to the MeetPure platform. It fetches your published events via the MeetPure API and displays them in a beautiful, responsive card grid. Individual events open in a full detail page — with cover image, date, location, description, speakers, agenda, and a CTA button — all without leaving your site. Plugin repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/meetpure-events Features Responsive event card grid with cover image, date badge, event type, and CTA button Full single event detail page: description, location, speakers, agenda Automatic page title and featured image taken from the event Configurable cards-per-row, event count, and section heading Support for past events toggle Flexible link routing: internal detail page or direct link to meetpure.events CSS Override tab with ordered editors for listing container, listing grid, listing cards, listing custom CSS, single container, single card, and single custom CSS 5-minute transient cache to minimise API calls Theme-inheriting styles via CSS custom properties Configuration Go to Settings → MeetPure Events and fill in: API Token — Your MeetPure API token. For now, request one from [email protected] and provide the exact Team ID configured in the plugin so the key is bound only to that team. The plugin rejects keys with write scope and validates team access via /auth/info. Team ID — The team whose events are displayed. The API key must be bound only to this Team ID. Events Per Page — Number of events requested per grid page (1–100, default 10). Single Event Page — Select the page that contains [meetpure_event] for individual event detail views. The settings page also includes a CSS Override tab. The fields are ordered like the rendered markup: listing container, listing grid, listing cards, listing custom CSS, then single container, single card, and single custom CSS. Declaration fields add their selector automatically; custom CSS fields use full scoped selectors. Usage Events Grid Place the following shortcode on any page or post to display a grid of upcoming events: [meetpure_events] Available attributes: count — Override Events Per Page for this grid (1–100). Default: (from settings) title — Section heading. Hidden by default. When set, it renders inside a targetable title block. Default: (none) per_row — Cards per row on large screens (1–6). Default: 3 image_ratio — Card cover aspect ratio, such as 16/9, 4/3, 1/1, or 2/5. Leave empty to use the default fixed height. Use with image_fit="cover" when the image should fill the custom shape. Default: (none) image_fit — How cover images fill the image area: contain shows the full image, cover crops to fill. Default: contain top_radius — Card top corner radius in pixels (0–80). Default: 12 bottom_radius — Card bottom corner radius in pixels (0–80). Default: 12 include_past — Set to "true" to include past events. Default: false link_to — Where cards link: auto, internal, or external. Default: auto page_param — Query parameter used for pagination. Change only when multiple event grids appear on the same page. Default: meetpure_events_page link_to values: auto — Links to the Single Event Page if configured, otherwise to meetpure.events. internal — Always links to the local Single Event Page. external — Always links to meetpure.events. Examples: [meetpure_events] [meetpure_events count="6" per_row="2" title="Upcoming Events"] [meetpure_events image_ratio="16/9" image_fit="cover"] [meetpure_events image_ratio="1/1"] [meetpure_events image_ratio="2/5" image_fit="cover"] [meetpure_events top_radius="16" bottom_radius="4"] [meetpure_events include_past="true" title="All Events"] [meetpure_events link_to="external"] Single Event Detail Add the following shortcode to a dedicated page to render a full event detail view: [meetpure_event] When accessed via ?meetpure_event=EVENT_ID in the URL (linked automatically from the grid), it displays the matching event. You can also hardcode a specific event: [meetpure_event event_id="VoUfH"] Available attributes: event_id — MeetPure event ID. Default: (read from URL query string) Setting up Individual Event Pages Create a new WordPress page (e.g. “Event”) and add [meetpure_event] to its content. Publish it. In Settings → MeetPure Events, select that page under Single Event Page. Save. Event cards in your grid will now link to yoursite.com/event/?meetpure_event=EVENT_ID. The page title, featured image, and document title are automatically replaced with the event’s data. External Services This plugin connects to the MeetPure Events platform (https://meetpure.events) to fetch and display event information. MeetPure Events API What it is used for: The plugin retrieves your team’s published events and individual event details from the MeetPure Events platform API so they can be displayed on your WordPress site via the [meetpure_events] and [meetpure_event] shortcodes. What data is sent and when: When the [meetpure_events] shortcode is rendered, the plugin sends an HTTP GET request to https://meetpure.events/api/v1/events containing: your API token (in the X-API-Key header), your team ID (in the X-Team-Id header), a requested page number and page size, a status filter (published), and optionally a start date to filter out past events. API responses are cached for 5 minutes using WordPress transients; no request is made while a valid cache entry exists. When the [meetpure_event] shortcode is rendered (or the single event detail page is loaded), the plugin sends an HTTP GET request to https://meetpure.events/api/v1/events/{event_id} containing your API token (in the X-API-Key header). This request is also cached for 5 minutes. No visitor/end-user data is collected or transmitted — only the site owner’s API credentials and the requested event identifiers are sent.
