SMNTCS Simple Events Widget is a lightweight way to pin calendar dates to individual posts, pages, or WooCommerce products and show them in the sidebar when visitors browse your site.
You pick a start date and, if you want, an end date, right in the editor. Then you drop the Simple Events Widget into a widget area and decide whether to show what is still ahead, what has already passed, or both. You can show only the start date or start and end together, change the sort order, add a line break before the title, and dates respect your site’s language and date format.
