Live Events

Live coverage can give visitors a place to follow developments as they happen. Live Events adds timelines, statistics, and interactive comment sections to a WordPress site, with updates delivered without requiring visitors to refresh the page. It suits coverage of sports, conferences, political elections, TV shows, breaking news, product launches, and live podcasts.

Customize the display with settings for colors, typography, social media icons, and layout scaling. The design is responsive for different devices and screen resolutions, and the plugin supports WordPress multisite environments. Timeline items include an HTML field that can optionally use a TinyMCE editor, giving publishers another way to prepare timeline content.
