Maelezo

CityEvents Widget allows you to easily integrate cultural events from iltaccodibacco.it into your WordPress site.
iltaccodibacco.it is a trusted hub that covers events all over Italy, including concerts, theater shows, exhibitions, festivals, fairs, and more.

You can select a city, and the plugin will automatically display all events within a 30 km radius, giving your visitors a comprehensive and always up-to-date overview of what’s happening in the area.

Main Features
– Direct integration with the iltaccodibacco.it event hub.
– Select your preferred city.
– Automatically includes events within a 30 km radius.
– Display events via widget or shortcode.
– Responsive layout for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
– Content updated in real time.

External Service & Remote Requests

This plugin connects to ONE external service only:

  • Service name: iltaccodibacco.it (events hub for Italy)
  • Domain: https://iltaccodibacco.it
  • Purpose: fetch public cultural events to display on your site
  • Endpoint pattern (GET, HTTPS):
    https://iltaccodibacco.it/{city-slug}/events.json
    (e.g., https://iltaccodibacco.it/roma/events.json)

When requests happen:
– On frontend when the widget/shortcode renders (and optionally in admin previews).
– Results are cached to reduce calls.

What is sent:
– Standard HTTP request from your server to iltaccodibacco.it over HTTPS.
– No personal data from your visitors is sent by this plugin.
– As with any outgoing request, the remote server sees your server’s IP and basic HTTP metadata.

What is stored:
– The remote response is cached in WordPress (transients/options) for the configured TTL (cache_minutes, default 15 minutes). No personal data is stored.

How to disable:
– Remove the widget and/or the shortcode, or deactivate the plugin.

Notes:
– If the remote service is unavailable or returns an error, the plugin fails gracefully and shows a generic message.
