Romence connects your WordPress site to Momence to display class schedules, events, and availability. Choose from Classic, Calendar, Showcase, Grouped, Minimal, Bryn, or fully custom templates to match your site. Unlike JavaScript-based embeds, Romence renders your schedule as clean, lightweight HTML—making it easier to style, faster to load, and more accessible to search engines. Display your live schedule anywhere using a shortcode or Gutenberg block, with no manual updates required. Features: Connect via Momence API Key and Host ID Multiple schedule templates (Bryn, Calendar, Classic, Fully Custom, Grouped, Minimal, Showcase) Configurable schedule window (how many weeks ahead) Linger time for past events Automatic 30-minute refresh of event data Fully Custom template for complete theme control Gutenberg block (romence/block) and [romence] shortcode External Services This plugin connects to the Momence API to retrieve event listings for display on your WordPress site. What is Momence? Momence (https://momence.com) is an event management and scheduling platform. This plugin uses their API to fetch event listings associated with your Momence account. What data is sent and when? Every 30 minutes via a scheduled background task, an HTTPS request is made to the following Momence API endpoint: https://momence.com/_api/primary/api/v1/Events The request includes the following parameters: – hostId: Your Momence Host ID (configured in the plugin settings) – token: Your Momence API token (configured in the plugin settings) These credentials are provided by you (the site administrator) during plugin setup and are used solely to authenticate and retrieve your event listings. No visitor or end-user personal data is collected or transmitted. This request is made every time a page containing the events display loads (or on a configurable cache interval, if caching is enabled).
