Calendar plugins are hugely popular with WordPress users. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as event management and online booking.<\/p>\n

As with all WordPress plugins, the cost, and the included features, varies greatly between calendar plugins. In this article, I would like to show you a collection of good calendar plugins that you can use on your website.<\/p>\n

To help you choose your calendar plugin, I have split this collection into three groups: Event calendars, booking calendars, and post scheduling calendars.<\/p>\n

Event Calendars<\/h2>\n

Event calendars can be used to advertise and organise small and large events such as conferences, concerts, parties, family gatherings, and more.<\/p>\n

Functionality varies from plugin to plugin. Simple event calendars can be used to inform others of an event. For example, they can highlight what the event is about, what time and date the event is on, and where the event is located.<\/p>\n

More advanced event solutions allow people to confirm their attendance to an event; which is particularly useful if availability is limited. They may allow you to charge for the event through your website using a payment gateway such as PayPal.<\/p>\n

I recommend charging up front for a large event such as a conference so that you generate income beforehand and get a true reflection of how many people to attend. Obviously, payment is not required for smaller events such as parties and other social gatherings.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, event calendars display upcoming events on a calendar. The calendar can be inserted into your WordPress website directly into a post, page, or widget area.<\/p>\n
