<p>
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>

My Calendar – Accessible Event Manager

Great plugin - I tried many calendars for my class schedule and this was the only one that WORKED! I love all the detailed setup options for developers, with the ability to change text and colors. Haven't played with the templates yet but I'm excited to do so. 

Had an issue and developer was super-responsive, resolving it and fixing with care. Thank you!

Finally - A Robust Calendar that WORKS!


This is a great plugin! I have used this on many different kinds of sites and after several years there has yet to be a problem I have to solve with a calendar that this plugin cannot handle!
