Advanced Settings

The Features tab holds the Pro feature toggles (Analytics, Discovery feed, Photo grid). The two site-wide options that rarely need changing - SEO visibility for past events and the uninstall data-retention policy - moved to the Site & data card on the Setup tab.

Go to Eventonomy → Settings → Features for the feature toggles, and Eventonomy → Settings → Setup → Site & data for the two site-wide options. (Both were the Advanced tab before the settings screen was consolidated into seven tabs; the old ?tab=advanced link now resolves to Features.)

Analytics (Pro)

Pro - The Analytics feature requires Eventonomy Pro.

The Analytics feature card is visible on the Free plan but the toggle is locked.

When Pro is active, turning Analytics on does two things. It makes per-event organizer metrics available through the eventonomy-pro/organizer-analytics block, and it unlocks the backend Eventonomy → Reports screen. No additional configuration is needed; both read directly from your event and RSVP data.

Leaving Analytics off removes the eventonomy-pro/organizer-analytics block from the editor entirely, and the Reports screen shows an “Analytics is turned off” notice.

Conversion tracking is not configured here. GA4 and Meta Pixel measurement IDs live on the Connections tab, in the Conversion tracking card. They are deliberately independent of this Analytics toggle. See Conversion Tracking.

Discovery Feed (Pro)

Pro - The Discovery feed requires Eventonomy Pro.

The Discovery feature card is visible on the Free plan but the toggle is locked.

When Pro is active, turning Discovery on enables the browseable, filterable event feed: the eventonomy-pro/discovery-feed block and the /discovery API route behind it. Leave the toggle off and neither exists.

No additional configuration is needed beyond turning the toggle on.

Following is not gated by this toggle. The eventonomy-pro/follow-button block, the follow API and the member dashboard’s Saved section all work as soon as Pro is active, whether Discovery is on or off. What Discovery adds is the feed page itself. See Discovery Feed & Follow Button.

Site & Data

Handling a data-subject (GDPR/CCPA) request? That is separate from the uninstall option below. To export or erase one person’s RSVPs, orders, and follows, use WordPress’s Tools → Export/Erase Personal Data screens; see Privacy & GDPR (Data Export & Erase). The setting below is the whole-site data-removal opt-in used only when you delete the plugin entirely.

Hide Past Events from Search Engines

Setting: noindex_past_events Default: Off

When on, Eventonomy adds a noindex meta tag to single-event pages once the event’s start date has passed. Search engines will de-index those pages over time.

Use this to keep your search-engine presence focused on upcoming events and prevent stale event pages from appearing in search results.

Delete All Eventonomy Data When the Plugin Is Uninstalled

Setting: delete_data_on_uninstall Default: Off

When on, permanently removing the Eventonomy plugin (not just deactivating it) also drops all evnm_* database tables, plugin options, and capabilities.

Warning: This deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Leave this setting off if you might reinstall Eventonomy in the future and want to keep your event data. Turn it on only when you are certain you want a clean removal.
