Event Calendar Premium displays events in Day, Week, Month, or Resource views. Use it as a date picker or a full calendar. A calendar can hold an unlimited number of events, including multiple events on the same day. Each event box links to its defined event. Event details can include a title, start and end dates, required start and end times, a description, and an optional event URL with a setting to open the link in a new tab.

Choose a calendar type and theme

Calendar types include Total Calendar, Timeline, Crazy, Schedule, and Full Year. The theme options also include calendar, simple, flexible, and timeline variations. The listing describes 10 free themes and says Premium adds three customizable themes: Crazy Calendar Theme, Schedule Theme, and Full Year Calendar Theme. Preview a theme in the calendar before placing it on a page. Each type has its own options.

Set dates, recurrence, and navigation

Set an event's start and end dates and times, then choose whether it recurs daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Choose the first day of the week and the calendar week style. Navigation controls include selectable left and right icons, and you can set the color used for today's dates.

For event dates displayed in Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer, the listing specifies the yyyy-mm-dd format. It specifies hh:mm for event times in those browsers.

Adjust event details and calendar styling

Set calendar, arrow, and background colors, along with font size and font family. Per-event colors are available in Total Calendar, Timeline, Crazy, Schedule, and Full Year types. Add photos or videos from YouTube or Vimeo to events across all types. The interface also provides event labels and settings for each calendar type.

Place a calendar on your website

Insert a calendar into a WordPress page, post, or widget with its shortcode. Event boxes link to their defined events, keeping each calendar entry connected to its details.
