Vieww Events Calendar is a WordPress events calendar plugin for venues, community groups, churches, schools and small businesses. Show upcoming events in a card grid, a filterable list or a full month calendar — with recurring events, an interactive events map and full design controls built in.
Pick from three views — a card grid for what’s coming up, a filterable list with date ranges, or a full month calendar visitors can click through. On phones, visitors get tap-to-open event cards and a quick toggle between calendar and list, so they don’t lose their place.
What your visitors get:
<ul>
<li>A polished calendar that matches your brand</li>
<li>Three views to choose from — grid, list, or month calendar — and you can mix them across different pages</li>
<li>Tap-to-open event cards on mobile so they don’t have to leave the page to see the details</li>
<li>A built-in events map so they can see at a glance where things are happening</li>
<li>Add-to-calendar links — Google Calendar plus a downloadable file for Apple, Outlook and others</li>
</ul>
What you get:
<ul>
<li>Add events in under a minute — title, date, time, venue, description, done</li>
<li>Recurring events — set an event to repeat on the days you choose</li>
<li>Pick your own colours, fonts and spacing from a single design panel</li>
<li>Dark mode — off, auto (follows the visitor’s system preference), or always on</li>
<li>Address autocomplete — start typing a venue and pick from suggestions; the location pin and details fill in for you</li>
<li>One-click cache control whenever you need a fresh copy of your event list</li>
</ul>
Shortcodes you can drop into any page or layout:
<ul>
<li><code>[vieww_calendar_view]</code> — the interactive month calendar</li>
<li><code>[vieww_list]</code> — a filterable list with date-range and pagination</li>
<li><code>[vieww_calendar]</code> — a 3-column grid of upcoming events</li>
<li><code>[vieww_events_map]</code> — a map of upcoming events with clustering</li>
</ul>
Requirements:
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.0 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
</ul>
