Liking it so far, but still needs work. Great support!
by pavefe·1 month ago·1 reply
I have tried several different calendar plugins (free and paid) and have come to the conclusion that there just isn’t one that is easily configurable to my clients needs and easy to customize (including formatting). So far this one (paid) is working well. I had one particular issue that only occurred on 1 of the 3 sites I installed it on (all three were built the same way), but their support kept at it, found the conflict, and fixed it for me. I commend them for that and keeping me updated on the status.
Crap

Support was ace but code and functionality are crap, felt like a beta tester installing and working with the paid version. Markup also rubbish. Since switched to Simple Calendar Free version and am much happier with results. I was basically suckered by the review on WPBeginner, which appears to be an affiliated company (DOH!) so cannot by definition be trusted and independent 😉
very simple and easy and it works soo good

Finally a really simple calendar plugin
by Holger Wassenhoven·10 months ago·1 reply
I was just looking for a simple calendar to display a short events list inside a sidebar and a calendar on a single page. This plugin accomplishes this exactly as expected and, unlike the other many calendar plugins, this one provides two blocks which include the events list and also the calendar optically into the themes look.
