Great, has almost everything … but…

Great in design and function. Has almost everything… 😉
Unfortunately, I’m still missing a multiple ICS import function.
Then it would be perfect. Is this function planned for a future update…?

A great calendar. It fulfills all my requirements.
Great personal support too to solve “clashing” problems with other plugins.
AMAZING – BLESSING – MUST HAVE

I cannot say enough about this plugin! The support is soo amazing!! This plugin has solved many problems for many of my different client websites. The support is fast, personal, feels like you’re working with a friend.
My one bugbear resolved. Love it

To replace a recurring event for one day. Simply create an event in the same category and date of the one being replaced and set it to ‘hide’. All events in the category selected will be hidden for the date(s) selected.
I put that first because apart from the fact that I couldn’t figure out how to suspend an event for a day I loved Spiffy Calendar. I love being able to set different colours to different categories and to add information (available on mouse hover) including pictures and web addresses.
Thanks Spiffy team. Thankyou support for responding so quickly too.

Hello Spiffy-Devs,
I just want to say thank you for this very useful piece of software. Spiffy calendar is compared to other solutions perfect for my little blog. It’s not overloaded and offers good customization.
The support is really great and helpful too.
Kind regards
Andre
