Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about XT Event Widget for Social Events

No! The Live Feed Builder uses an intelligent scraping engine that works without any API keys or Facebook app setup. The legacy widget method still supports optional Facebook App authentication.

The free version supports Event IDs and iCal URL sources. The Pro version adds Facebook Page ID and Facebook Group ID sources for automatic event fetching.

Yes, but this requires the Pro add-on. With Pro, simply paste your Group URL or ID and the plugin will automatically fetch all upcoming events.

The free version includes Card Grid and List View. The Pro version adds Timeline, Compact List, Minimal Grid, Ticket List, and Masonry layouts — 7 layouts total.

Yes! Events are cached for the duration you configure (default: 24 hours). When the cache expires, fresh events are fetched automatically. You can also manually clear the cache from the feed settings.

Absolutely! Use the XT Facebook Events Feed block to embed any feed directly in the block editor with a simple dropdown selector.

Yes. Each feed has a "Hide Online Events" toggle in the Filters tab that automatically detects and hides virtual events (including multi-language detection).

The plugin fetches public event data from Facebook and caches it on your server. No user tracking or third-party cookies are used. Event data is displayed directly from your WordPress database cache.
