Awesome Calendar Events

Disgrifiad

Awesome Calendar Events turns ordinary posts into full-featured events. Give a post a date, time, and optional recurrence rule, and Awesome Calendar Events takes care of the rest: subscribable calendar feeds, downloadable single-event invites, live countdowns, and one-click “Add to Calendar” links.

Features

  • Event date field with optional start/end time, added to any post
  • Flexible recurrence rules: daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly, with custom intervals and end conditions (until a date or after a number of occurrences)
  • Weekly recurrence supports specific weekdays (e.g. every Monday and Wednesday)
  • Site-wide /events.ics calendar feed that subscribers can add to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook
  • Per-event .ics download so visitors can add a single event to their calendar
  • “Add to Calendar” button block with Google, Apple, Outlook, and Office 365 options
  • Event date block and event countdown block for the block editor
  • Event List block: a Query Loop block that lists upcoming events (recurring events shown once), filterable by category or tags
  • Shortcodes for displaying event dates and countdowns outside the block editor
  • REST API endpoint for querying event posts programmatically
  • Advanced Query Loop (AQL) integration with dynamic date placeholders for event meta queries

Event List block

The “Event List” block (in the Awesome Calendar Events category) is built on the core Query Loop block and lists upcoming events using the events query API. Recurring events are shown once while their recurrence is ongoing. When inserted, the default item template contains the Event Date block on top, followed by the Featured Image and Title. The only query customization available is filtering by category or tags.

Advanced Query Loop integration

Works with Advanced Query Loop plugin to build dynamic lists of upcoming events. Use these keywords to create date filters that update automatically using the site’s local timezone:

  • todays_date for the current date in Y-m-d format
  • today_minus_1 for the previous date in Y-m-d format

Both values work as a single meta-query value or within a BETWEEN value array.

How do I make an event recurring?

When setting the event date on a post, enable recurrence and choose a frequency (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly), then set an end condition such as an end date or a number of occurrences.

Where can people subscribe to all events at once?

Point any calendar app at yourdomain.com/events.ics. The feed updates automatically as events are added, changed, or removed.

Can visitors download a single event instead of subscribing to the whole feed?

Yes, each event with a date has a downloadable .ics file that can be linked to individually.

How do I add an Add to Calendar button to an event?

In the block editor, open the Awesome Calendar Events category and insert “Add to Calendar.” It automatically creates a Buttons block containing the configured calendar button. On the published event, the button offers Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Office 365, Yahoo Calendar, and an iCal download using the event’s date, time, location, and title.
