Go back to the list of Blocks

With the Meetup Embed block, you can embed Meetup events or Meetup Groups into your posts and pages. You don’t need to have a Meetup.com account to be able to use it. You can only embed public events.

You can embed a single event or a Meetup group.

Steps to embed a Meetup

1. Find the Meetup url or the event url. Go to the meetup page, right click on the meetup name or the specific event and select “Copy link address”.

2. Go to your post or page

3. Add the Meetup block 

Detailed instructions on adding blocks can be found here.

4. Paste the link into the box and click the “Embed” button

If it’s a link that can be successfully embedded you will see a preview in your editor. You can embed the group, a past event or an upcoming event.

You will have two choices: Try again with a different URL or convert it to a link.

6. Click on “Preview” to see how it will look on the front-end.
