Event Calendar

Event Calendar

Tickera Event Calendar add-on allows you to display all your events in a beautifully styled, fully responsive calendar anywhere on your website. You can add it using either a shortcode or a Gutenberg block, and both offer exactly the same options - so it’s entirely up to your personal preference (or the editor you’re using).

Available options

You can customize Event Calendar with several attributes that control its layout, appearance, and content. Depending on whether you are using shortcode or Gutenberg block, options will be displayed differently but will be essentially the same

Shortcode options

Gutenberg block options

Here’s what each option does:

• Select a calendar theme – Choose one of six predefined themes: Default, Blue, Dark, Flat, Orange, or Red. Each offers a different color palette to better match your website’s style.
• Calendar width – Adjusts how wide the calendar will appear on your page.
• Select calendar language – Choose which language will be used for calendar labels and month/day names.
• Grid view – Select whether your calendar displays events in a Monthly, Weekly, or Daily layout.
• First day – Define which day the calendar week starts on (Sunday, Monday, or any other).
• Default month – Select which month to display first when the page loads. Handy if you want to highlight future events rather than starting from the current month.
• Show/Hide past events – Choose whether to display events that have already taken place or show only upcoming ones.
• Show events for categories – Filter which event categories appear in the calendar. For example, you might display only Conferences or VIP Events. If no categories are selected, all events will be shown.

When you publish the page, you’ll see a clean, interactive calendar displaying all your events according to your chosen settings.

Advanced customization

If none of the built-in color themes match your site’s design, you can create your own using the solution found here.
The small add-on provided in this solution allows you to design and apply a custom calendar theme that fits seamlessly into your website.
And if you’re familiar with CSS, you can also style Tickera Event Calendar add-on directly through your theme’s stylesheet to match your branding even more closely.

Practical tips

• If you want to display only a specific type of event (for instance, only Conferences), select that category in the builder.
• The calendar is fully responsive and will adapt to the available space, but for best results, use it in a content area at least 600px wide.
• The same attributes apply to both shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks.
