Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Credits

  • Big thank you to Michael Lynn who generously gave us this plugin namespace after deciding not to go through with his implementation. One less confusing name on the plugin repo!
  • This plugin was originally created for Events Manager Pro, which has been moved over here so it can be used by the community for other post types. Support and maintenance is sponsored by proceeds from this premium plugin, so if you’re in need of a good Events plugin, give it a try!

Roadmap

Here’s a rough roadmap of where we’re heading, and will be ammended as time permits

  • Move to FullCalendar 5.x library
  • Remove jQuery dependency (due to 5.x transition and select boxes)
  • Add Gutenberg blocks
  • Add more native FullCalendar options to the settings page
  • Add formats for custom post types (currently only possible with Events Manager)
  • Colors for other taxonomies (currently only possible with Events Manager)
  • Multiple post types on one calendar
