The short answer
What is Live Events for Elementor?
Live Events is a Pro Elementor widget from Animation Addons that lists your events on a vertical timeline. Each entry shows how long ago it was posted, then a photo, a title with an optional highlight, a meta line and a Read More link. It reads a query, usually the plugin’s Live Events post type, and offers Normal, Aside and Overlay layouts.
The Live Events widget for Elementor is a classic widget for the Elementor 3 editor that keeps working in Elementor 4, and it does not need Elementor Pro. As an Elementor events addon it lists events as a timeline, not as a month calendar. Want a hand-typed carousel of upcoming dates instead? The free Event Slider does that.
