Elasticsearch-Enabled WordPress Subsite for Ridderkerk

Ridderkerk merged events into a single website using WordPress and OpenAgenda, with Elasticsearch for powerful search. The subsite, a WordPress site, allows residents to access events seamlessly. Built by Yard, it uses Gutenberg for content management and the Open Webconcept community to ensure open-source functionality. The system centralizes event management while enabling multiple platforms to display events. The solution leverages the OpenAgenda API and common ground structure to maintain flexibility and accessibility. The subsite now serves as a centralized hub for community events, demonstrating WordPress's capabilities in building scalable, open-source solutions.
