website.
Features:
If I set the wordpress time to the correct time zone, all of the dates are off by one day. If I leave the time set to UTC, the dates are right but today’s event is off by one day.
This is unacceptable.
I have had this plugin installed for many years and it has worked great. Quick support response from Kieran when I had an issue (which was my fault).
Sometimes, you don’t need all the bells and whistles of a full-blown calendar plugin. Sometimes, you just want to be able to put on the web what’s on the calendar on your refrigerator, a planner so to speak, and that’s exactly what this plugin does.
If you’re not interested in Google indexing your calendar, because you only have it as a convenience for your visitors and aren’t interested in locations, ticketing and all sorts of other things, then this is the calendar plugin for you.
I’ve had some of the more complicated calendar plugins, both at home and at work, and for my personal use, I went back to this one. I wanted something simple that my visitors could see what I’m cooking for the month with links to recipes. That’s it and this is the plugin for me.
Great simple calendar
