Waiting List Addon for MEC

The Waiting List Addon for MEC is an official Webnus extension designed to expand the capabilities of the Modern Events Calendar (MEC) event management system in WordPress. Its main purpose is to solve a recurring problem in organizing events with limited capacity: what to do with people who arrive late when all spots are already taken.

When an event reaches its maximum capacity, the standard booking form is automatically replaced by a waiting list form. Interested individuals are added to a chronological queue, and if a registered attendee cancels their reservation or the administrator increases the capacity, the system automatically moves the next person on the list to the main attendee group, respecting the priority order of each registration.

The plugin includes a centralized management panel from the WordPress sidebar menu where administrators can monitor all pending requests, see the order of arrival of each user, and manually manage verifications and confirmations when necessary. It also offers a form builder with draggable fields such as name, email, text, date, phone, files, checkboxes, and agreements, with the possibility of applying global or event-specific forms.

Its standout features include automatic email verification, automatic registration confirmation, configurable booking limit per user, an express form for attendees booking multiple spots, and a dedicated verification and cancellation page using the [waiting_notif_page] shortcode. Email notifications integrate with the MEC system, allowing customization of verification and confirmation templates with placeholders and HTML.

This plugin is ideal for organizers of concerts, workshops, courses, conferences, webinars, and any activity with limited spots. It allows measuring real demand for each event, planning new editions, managing cancellations without manual intervention, and maintaining an organized database of potential attendees. It requires the Pro version of Modern Events Calendar (6.0 or higher) and is designed for projects seeking to maximize attendance and not miss registration opportunities.
