Enhanced-Calendar (<a href="http://michaelwalsh.org/blog/2010/12/08/need-to-rename-calendar-plus/" rel="nofollow ugc">previously known as Calendar-Plus</a>) enhances <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/calendar/" rel="ugc"><br />
Kieran O’Shea’s Calendar plugin</a> by removing several limitations and adding the ability to instantiate<br />
the calendar in a sidebar widget.
</p>
<p>
Enhanced-Calendar requires the original<br />
<a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/calendar/" rel="ugc">Calendar plugin</a> to be installed and activated.<br />
Enhanced-Calendar introduces a proper shortcode which can also be used to display the calendar in a sidebar<br />
by using the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-shortcodes/" rel="ugc">Sidebar Shortcode plugin</a>.
</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Usage of Enhanced-Calendar is primarily driven by shortcodes.  Enhanced-Calendar does not change the way<br />
in which Calendar adds and manages calendar events.  The [calendar] shortcode has several arguments.  You<br />
could create a post that contains the following content to see how the various options affect the Calendar<br />
output:</p>
<pre>[calendar]

[calendar weekday=1]

[calendar weekday=3 descriptions='off']

[calendar dateswitcher='off']

[calendar weekday=3 dateswitcher='off' descriptions='off']
</pre>
<h3>Styling</h3>
<p>Enhanced-Calendar moves the CSS styling from a plugin setting which is stored in the database to a separate CSS<br />
file which makes it easy to style Calendar with your own WordPress theme.  The default CSS file shipped with<br />
Enhanced-Calendar is the same as the default settings from the Calendar plugin.</p>

Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!

This is a very nice solution for custom designed sites, where you need powerfull event functionality but to be able to design the looks your way. Great job.

A very capable plugin, and very flexible.


This plugin is extremly flexible in the configuration. You choose if you want to use custom WordPress templates, or adapt right in the admin area those that come with their built in template engine. You have robust support of recurring and multi day events. There are even various options to have registration right on the site. You have the possibility to enable registration on the front end and if needed you can extend almost everything with custom programming, and there is a good documentation on how to do that. Quite satisfied to have chosen this option, and am using it already for years!
