WP Event Calendar

I really like this plugin! It's super lightweight, yet functional and powerful. It's perfect as a standalone solution, with some custom theme templates, or as a starting point for building a more powerful, streamlined calendar system.



Easy to use, lightweight, magnificant

Very good base for developers. Very extendable and filterable.

This doesn't give you front end calendar, but it takes well care of the management and display of calendar(s) from admin side. Extends WP_List_Table class for calendar views.

Lacks Location as taxonomy, but such can easily be added.

I combine this with Genesis Custom Blocks to make front end views, single event, list and calendars.

Well coded, structured and lightweight for event management

WP Event Calendar is the best way to manage events in WordPress!
