<p>This event calendar ONLY WORKS ON WORDPRESS 3.0 and above.</p>
<p>For an earlier version of the calendar please visit https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/kino-event-calendar-plugin/tag/v1.4/kino-event-calendar-plugin.zip</p>
<p>Once installed the calendar must be dragged into the side bar from Appearance > Widgets. The calendar will then show in the sidebar of every page.</p>
<p>You can easily select an Events page which shows all current and future events by entering the smartcode [events] into whatever page you like.</p>
<p>The admin area enables you to add, edit and remove events quickly and easily, and changing colours is a breeze. The Kino Events Calendar does not use blog posts to handle events but rather lets you add events manually. This flexibility makes integrating the calendar into client sites much more feasible, and the colour changing options allow for simple branding too.</p>
<p>See the Idaho Community College site for a working <a href="http://www.idahocommunityaction.org/" title="Kino Event Calendar example" rel="nofollow ugc">example</a>.</p>
<p>The main updates are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>Added option to “Add End Date”.</li>
<li>Added Fully featured TinyMCE Editor to allow links, and wide ranging copy editing.</li>
<li>Search Engine Friendly URLs (SEF) on all event pages.</li>
<li>Added option to choose a thumbnail for a post using the Featured Post utility.</li>
<li>Events can now be set to be recurring.</li>
<li>Events can now be set to be “All Day Events”.</li>
<li>Events can be placed into categories and given individual category slug and descriptions.</li>
<li>You can now pick a master colour and rollover colour for events, and individual colours for categorised events.</li>
<li>Events can be given ‘intro text’ using the Excerpt functionality.</li>
<li>Place the main Events page which lists all future events wherever you want in your site using the shortcode [events].</li>
<li>Events now use custom post types and are much easier work with.</li>
</ol>

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!
