Manage events, member profiles, and community features directly within WordPress

The Nakaryu Event Manager is a comprehensive WordPress plugin for events, communities, member profiles, attendee lists, event submissions, and classifieds.

With this plugin, you can transform a standard WordPress website into an interactive event and community platform — featuring custom event pages, categories, tags, frontend profiles, profile fields, participation buttons, attendee lists, login and registration forms, as well as community directories.

The plugin is especially suitable for clubs, communities, organizers, conventions, local networks, creator platforms, business directories, member areas, and event portals.

Event calendar and event management for WordPress

With Nakaryu Event Manager, you can manage events as a custom WordPress content type. Events get their own event pages, can be categorized, tagged, and displayed on the frontend.

Events can be enhanced with start dates, descriptions, images, categories, tags, and additional event fields. Display can be done via shortcode or event archives.

Typical use cases:

  • Event calendar
  • Community events
  • Convention listings
  • Workshops
  • Meetups
  • Club events
  • Local events
  • Industry events
  • Creator events
  • Courses and meetings

Event lists are sorted by start date, ensuring upcoming events are displayed logically.

Event categories and event tags for better structure

The plugin supports custom taxonomies for events, allowing you to organize events neatly and make them easier for visitors to find.

Supported are:

  • Event categories
  • Event tags
  • Hierarchical event tags with parent tags
  • Custom archive URLs for event tags
  • Flexible slugs via plugin settings

This allows events to be sorted by topics, formats, locations, target groups, or event types.

Examples:

  • Anime convention
  • Cosplay event
  • Workshop
  • Trade fair
  • Community meetup
  • Online event
  • Music event
  • Gaming event
  • Networking Event

This makes the plugin suitable not only for simple event lists but also for larger event platforms with many categories.

Frontend Profiles for Members and Communities

The Nakaryu Event Manager includes its own profile system for WordPress. Users can have public profiles accessible via their own profile URLs.

Profile pages can be used for communities, member directories, creator platforms, or participant profiles.

Possible profile contents:

  • Profile picture
  • Banner or media
  • Description
  • Social links
  • Custom profile fields
  • Categories
  • Tags
  • Portfolio information
  • Community activities
  • Follow and like functions

This turns WordPress into a community platform where users can not only view events but also become visible parts of the community.

Member Directory and Profile Grid via Shortcode

With the shortcode [custom_users] you can display a user or profile grid on your website. Visitors can browse profiles and filter by profile categories.

This is ideal for:

  • Member directories
  • Creator directories
  • Cosplayer directories
  • Club members
  • Industry contacts
  • Community members
  • Exhibitor lists
  • Partner networks
  • Local networks

This allows community structures to be made visible directly on a WordPress site.

Custom Profile Fields for Individual Community Data

Not every community requires the same profile information. Therefore, the Nakaryu Event Manager includes management for custom profile fields.

Additional profile fields can be defined in the backend, which users can fill out in their profiles.

This is suitable for example for:

  • Interests
  • Skills
  • Roles
  • Social media links
  • Location information
  • Portfolio Information
  • Availabilities
  • Categories
  • Specializations
  • Community-Relevant Details

This allows the profile system to be adapted to different platform concepts.

Participation Button and Participant Lists for Events

A central feature of the plugin is the event participation function. Users can register for events via a participation button.

There are dedicated shortcodes available:

[custom_event_attendance_button]
displays the participation button for an event.

[custom_event_attendees]
displays the participant list of an event.

This makes events more interactive. Visitors not only see the event but can actively participate and recognize other participants.

This is especially valuable for community events, meetups, gatherings, workshops, and occasions where social dynamics are important.

Event Submission via Frontend

With the shortcode [custom_event_submit_form] events can be submitted directly through the frontend.

This is ideal for platforms where not only administrators should create events, but also community members, organizers, or partners.

Possible use cases:

  • Community members can submit their own events
  • Organizers can propose dates
  • Convention database can grow
  • Local event platforms can collect external entries
  • Clubs can manage events in a decentralized way
  • Partners can report events

The publication status can be technically adjusted so that events can be published directly or moderated depending on the workflow.

Classified Ads System for Communities

Besides events, the Nakaryu Event Manager also includes a classified ads system. Classified ads are managed as a separate content type and can be structured via their own categories and tags.

This includes its own taxonomies:

  • Classified Ads Categories
  • Classified Ads Tags
  • Hierarchical tag structures
  • Custom slug configuration

Classified ads can be displayed or submitted via the frontend using shortcodes.

This makes the plugin especially interesting for community platforms that want to represent not only events but also exchanges, offers, requests, or community marketplace functions.

Login, Registration, and Account Functions in the Frontend

The Nakaryu Event Manager includes its own shortcodes for central account functions.

These include:

[custom_login_form]
Frontend login.

[custom_register_form]
Frontend registration.

[custom_logout_link]
Logout link.

[custom_lost_password_link]
Forgot password link.

[custom_profile_edit]
Frontend profile editing.

Additionally, the plugin supports a virtual „My Account“ URL. Logged-in users can be redirected directly to their profile, while guests are taken to the login page.

This creates a user-friendly community workflow without a purely backend-focused WordPress usage.

Member Dashboard and User Checklists

The plugin also includes features for a member dashboard and user checklists.

This allows community members to better track tasks, profile progress, or relevant steps within the platform.

This is especially useful for platforms where users are expected to complete certain steps, for example:

  • Complete profile
  • Submit event
  • Participate in events
  • Accept community rules
  • Add to portfolio
  • Add social links
  • Complete specific onboarding steps

This way, a simple event page can turn into a structured community area.

Profile Categories and Profile Tags

Not only events and classifieds, but also profiles can be categorized and tagged.

The plugin supports:

  • Profile categories
  • Profile tags
  • Hierarchical structures
  • Filter options in the profile directory

This is especially powerful for platforms with different user roles.

Examples:

  • Cosplayers
  • Photographers
  • Artists
  • Models
  • Organizers
  • Vendors
  • Speakers
  • Moderators
  • Creators
  • Service providers
  • Partners

This makes it easier to find users and better organize communities.
