<p>Thanks for checking out the <a href="http://www.localendar.com" rel="nofollow ugc">localendar</a> calendar plugin for WordPress. We have been powering web calendars for thousands of sites for over 16 years, and are pleased to provide a dedicated calendar plugin for WordPress.</p>
<p>Why use a slow, stripped-down calendar plugin that offers only a few basic features when you can have the power of our complete solution which offers <a href="http://www.localendar.com/calendar/online-calendar-features" rel="nofollow ugc">over 100 features</a>?</p>
<p><strong>We always display full event titles!</strong> Many calendar plugins truncate your event titles to fit their layout, and force users to mouse-over each entry to see the full text.</p>
<p>localendar makes it easy to customize the calendar on your site. Whether you use our Theme Editor (no coding required!) or custom CSS hooks, you can make your calendar fit your site perfectly.</p>
<p>Includes <strong>Twitter integration</strong>: Send event reminders as custom tweets.</p>
<p>Our new “School Year” view is perfect for schools and other venues that don’t want to show a 12-month calendar</p>

WP iCal Availability

This is a great little helper!

It is very easy to configure as there are not very much settings. It does one thing and this thing works great.

One note: The calendar blocks the whole day if there is just one entry on one day (however small it is).

If you know CSS you can style the calendar yourself a little bit more, because there are many classes used.

BUT it would be great if the calendar wouldn't be fixed in size. Although you can try to achieve a bigger calendar yourself with CSS.

And a complete shortcode documentation would be great. You don't need it, because there is a great GUI for it, but if you miss the button you are little bit lost.

As all those critics can be solved and are not about the core functionality the 5 stars are still valid.

Great plugin. Easy to configure. If you need more you can do it yourself with CSS and/or move to the premium version. 

Easy to configure

This calendar imports an iCal feed from an external website, like Airbnb, and shows the availability based on that feed.
