How Do I Add a Calendar in WordPress?

Adding a calendar in WordPress can be a daunting task for those not familiar with the process. There are a variety of ways to add a calendar in WordPress, and the process will vary depending on the type of calendar you want to add.

If you want to add a monthly calendar, you can use the WordPress plugin CalendarBin. This plugin is available as a free and premium version, and it offers a variety of features, such as the ability to add events, set calendar preferences, and more.

If you want to add a yearly calendar, you can use the WordPress plugin Calendarlite.

Once you have chosen a calendar plugin, the next step is to add the calendar content. To do this, you will need to create a new file called calendar.php and add the following code:

get_events(); // Loop through the events and render the calendar // outputting the month, the month title, and the day of the month for($i=0; $i<$events->num_events; $i++) { // Get the event data $event = $events->events[$i]; // Render the event template content $output = $template->render($event); // Output the generated HTML onto the page echo $output; } } // End of the wp_calendar() function.

In this code, you will first get the current month, year, and day from the database. You will then load the calendar template file contents into memory.

You will then use WordPress’s built-in functions to get the list of events for the month and loop through them to render the calendar.

To use this calendar, you will first need to add a widget to your WordPress site. To do this, you can use the CalendarBin plugin or the Calendarlite plugin, depending on the type of calendar you want to add.

Once you have added the calendar widget, you can select it and click on the Settings button to configure the calendar.
