<h4>More Info</h4>
Once you’ve installed the plugin, go to any post or page and enable the “Show on Calendar” toggle. 
Then, configure the options to your liking. Set a start date and time, optionally set an end date, and configure the all day event if you’d like.
You can do this to as many or as few posts as you’d like. Any post type will be supported, so long as your custom post types have supports: editor and supports: custom fields turned on. For clarity on this, watch the video embedded above.
Then, add the [piecal] shortcode anywhere you want your calendar to appear.
The shortcode accepts a few different parameters:
<ul>
<li>type=”your-post-type” 
Accepts a single value of any post type name to limit your calendar to only show that post type.</li>
<li>view=”dayGridMonth” is the default view you want selected when the calendar loads. 
The possible views are ‘dayGridMonth’, ‘listMonth’, ‘timeGridWeek’, ‘listWeek’, ‘dayGridWeek’. </li>
<li>locale=”es” – accepts any two letter ISO 639-1 language code </li>
</ul>
The shortcode defaults to show all post types, dayGridMonth, and locale of en.

Pie Calendar – Events Calendar Made Simple


I tested this for about 10 minutes. It's near perfect, the little imperfection that I will mention below is not worth downgrading this plugin from 5 stars, as it is very easy to fix with some simple CSS.



The issue is the color scheme in the calendar as far as the 3 buttons on the top right, the "today" button and the arrow buttons to progress forwards or backwards. The today button is dark with white font color, but on a hover the font also becomes dark, making the text to not show as it's color blends with the background. The two arrows never show up as their color seems to be the same as their button's background color. My guess is that you are depending on the theme's color scheme for the font color back imposing the background colors (I did not check the actual cause yet, just a guess). Nevertheless, I will go ahead and fix the issue with some simple css rules, but not everybody can do this...



Very easy to use, the fact that it can display the excerpt in the popup is awesome, and I can easily use this with my custom ACF Pro projects.



Thanks,



Nick.


Unreal !


What Pie Calendar does is give you a simple way to turn any post, page, or custom post type into a calendar event.



This is perfect for websites for live event venues, municipalities, clubs, sports associations, or memberships — basically anything where people need to gather at a specific time.



Of course, there are already a lot of event plugins out there — but if you’ve ever used any of them, you’ll know that “simple” is not part of the equation.



Every time I’ve needed one, I felt like they were all so bloated and inflexible that I’ve opted for creating my own “events” custom post type.



And while that does solve the bloat and flexibilities issues, it always meant that I had to go without any kind of calendar component because it would be nearly impossible — or too costly — to develop that out.



But unlike all those other event plugins, Pie Calendar actually delivers on the promise to keep things simple.



Simply create your post, click the toggle, set the date & time, and bingo — it’s on your calendar.



But just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it’s not powerful…



In fact, this week I had a fairly unique scenario of recurring events and add to calendar links that I wasn’t sure how I was going to pull off — but Pie Calendar knocked it out of the park, no sweat. And, better than that, I had it up and running in just a couple of minutes.



10/10


The easiest, most flexible calendar in WordPress!


A client of mine needed a simple way to display events they run in their local community. They didn't need anything else apart from a calendar with events.



This plugin does exactly that, it's lightweight, easy to use and support are very responsive. 



Highly recommend, 5 Stars from Me - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Straight Forward, Simple to use plugin!


Thanks for this simple and effective plugin!
