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!

The Events Calendar

Add background colors to event categories displayed in the event views of The Events Calendar. This is inspired by the post Coloring Your Category Events.
Settings for The Events Calendar: Category Colors plugin are located in their own tab on The Events Calendar Settings page.
To force a refresh of your CSS, add <code>?refresh_css</code> to the end of your events URL, or re-save the Settings.
