Smooth Calendar is a straightfowrward solution to displaying events on a WordPress site. First and foremost, the calendar view allows users of your site to quickly see events for a given month. Multiple events can be displayed on a single day and there is an option to display a single page for each event, perfect for linking people to an event page from social media!
The plugin uses JavaScript to fetch data, which provides for a fast and easy to use experience for users. The experience in the Dashboard is also very user friendly, as each event is a custom post type with easy to understand fields.
While the plugin can certainly be installed and used right out of the box, there is much room for flexibility and extending the plugin. From styling it to fit your site’s theme to adding even more functionality, this plugin was written in an extendable way to fit you as a site owner’s or developer’s needs.
A lot of time has been spent to make this calendar plugin as user friendly on as many devices as possible. It’s fully responsive and works on every modern device it’s viewed on. Phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, the user experience is just the same!
There is an abundance of WordPress calendar plugins, but if you’re looking for a responsive, easy to get going (and easy for clients to manage) calendar plugin, Smooth calendar is your best bet!

Using a simple shortcode, you can turn any iCalendar subscription (ICS) feed (Google Calendar, Microsoft Office 365, Apple iCloud, Airbnb, Vrbo, and many more) into a seamlessly integrated, auto-updating, zero-maintenance WordPress calendar.
Continue to manage your events in the calendar software you’re already using! You’ll automatically have an up-to-date calendar in your WordPress website with no extra work.
Display your calendar in month, list or week view. Many additional customization options are available. See our <a href="https://icscalendar.com/user-guide/" rel="nofollow ugc">User Guide</a> for full details.
No API keys required!
Works with ANY calendar software that generates a public iCalendar subscription link.
<h4>Live Preview</h4>
You can preview your own calendar in any ICS Calendar view at our website: <a href="https://icscalendar.com/preview/" rel="nofollow ugc">icscalendar.com/preview</a>
<h4>Shortcode Builder</h4>
We’ve made it easier than ever to get started using ICS Calendar with our new online shortcode builder: <a href="https://icscalendar.com/shortcode-builder/" rel="nofollow ugc">icscalendar.com/shortcode-builder</a>
<h4>Language Support</h4>
All date strings (days of the week, months, etc.) are automatically translated into your site’s configured language (under Settings > General > Language) and date/time formats using core WordPress functionality. All text content for the calendar itself is displayed as-is from the feed.
The small amount of additional front-end displayed text generated by the plugin defaults to U.S. English, but also supports the following translations: Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
Please contact us if you would like us to add support for your language!
This plugin includes the PHP ICS Parser library by Jonathan Goode, John Grogg and Martin Thoma (MIT license).

ICS Calendar

Excellent plugin and it just works. Was able to plug in an Outlook Office 365 ics file and it just works.

That's it, the plugin just works!

Thanks for sharing with us.

Just friggin works!


Lovely functionality and appearance straight out of the box.



I wanted to tweak the UX to have 2x calendars showing with interleaved events.. it just handles it perfectly.



Many thanks for an excellent plugin.


Unbelievably Useful

Easily add any iCalendar feed (Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, iCloud Calendar, etc.) to your WordPress site. Auto-updating, loads of options.
