Advanced Location Addon for MEC

Advanced Location Addon for MEC is a premium extension developed by Webnus that significantly expands location management within the Modern Events Calendar (MEC) ecosystem on WordPress. It is designed for websites focused on events, in-person activities, or geolocated content, where clear organization of venues, rooms, and spaces is essential to deliver a flawless user experience.

This addon allows you to create dedicated pages for each location or venue, so each place has its own individual profile displaying the name, address, website, and phone number. Through flexible shortcodes such as [mec-location], [location-list], and [advanced-location-single-public], administrators can present individual locations, complete venue listings, or highlight those marked as favorites, all with total control over the design and layout.

Among its most notable features are map display via Google Maps API, the ability to show current or past events for each location, search filters, sorting options by name, date, or number of events, and the ability to redirect each location's title to its dedicated page or an external link. The addon also offers granular control over which details to show or hide, such as phone, email, or address, as well as the option to dynamically load more results.

It is especially useful for festivals with multiple venues, training center networks, coworking spaces, companies with multiple branches, or cultural event portals that need to maintain an organized, duplicate-free location catalog. By centralizing each venue's information in a single editing point within the WordPress dashboard, repetitive work is reduced and data errors are minimized.

With a global configuration accessible from MEC Settings > Advanced Location, the addon integrates naturally with the existing Modern Events Calendar workflow, both in its Lite and Pro versions, allowing management teams to maintain a clear, coherent calendar that is easy for visitors to navigate.
