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!


Great Plugin for Everything

Accessible WordPress event calendar plugin. Manage single or recurring events, event venues, and display your calendar anywhere on your site.

<p>Want to always have the next date from a list displayed on a page of your site? Nextdate picks the next upcoming date from your list and displays it in the format you like!</p>
<p>Perhaps you have a recurring monthly meeting or event and you want to always display the next date to keep the page current.</p>
<p>Use the <code>[nextdate]</code> shortcode with a list of dates to get the next date from the list.</p>
<p>The <code>dates</code> parameter is required and should include a comma separated list of valid dates in any format that <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP will recognize</a>, for example <code>5/15/2011, 2012-01-15, 21.9.2013, Tuesday, next Thursday</code></p>
<p>You can also specify a <code>default</code> value like <code>[nextdate dates="5/15/1993, 7/19/2008" default="No upcoming party" /]</code> to display a default value when none of the dates are in the future.</p>
<p>You can optionally specify a <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP friendly date format</a>, for example <code>[nextdate dates="next Thursday" format="l, F jS" /]</code> to format the date. By default, dates are returned back in the <code>F j, Y</code> format, i.e. <code>September 18, 2013</code>.</p>
<p>For an example of usage, see how the <a href="https://bayareamastermind.com/events/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bay Area Mastermind</a> lists their next upcoming event dates.</p>


Next Date

This plugin allows you to display the next date from a list of dates with the [nextdate] shortcode.
