Pie Calendar

Create an event calendar in less than 4 minutes. Simple, flexible, and light-weight.

Pie Calendar lets you effortlessly turn any post on your WordPress site into an event, making it visible on a user-friendly front-end calendar. It doesn’t lock you into any post type – use the default WordPress posts or pages, or create your own Custom Post Type (CPT).

This plugin is crafted with careful thought, ensuring an event management system that’s lean, powerful, and incredibly flexible. Whether it’s a page, post, or CPT, any post on your site can be turned into an event and featured on your calendar in a matter of minutes.

2. Edit any page or post and in the sidebar (Gutenberg) or below your post content (Classic Editor / non-Gutenberg), enable the “Show on Calendar” toggle.
3. Set a start date and time, optionally set an end date, and optionally enable the “all day” event if you’d like.
4. Add the [piecal] shortcode anywhere you want your calendar to appear.

More Info

Once you’ve installed the plugin, go to any post or page and enable the “Show on Calendar” toggle.
Then, configure the options to your liking. Set a start date and time, optionally set an end date, and configure the all day event if you’d like.

You can do this to as many or as few posts as you’d like. Any post type will be supported, so long as your custom post types have supports: editor and supports: custom fields turned on. For clarity on this, watch the video embedded above.

Then, add the [piecal] shortcode anywhere you want your calendar to appear.

The shortcode accepts a few different parameters:

• type=”your-post-type”
  Accepts a single value of any post type name to limit your calendar to only show that post type.
• view=”dayGridMonth” is the default view you want selected when the calendar loads.
  The possible views are ‘dayGridMonth’, ‘listMonth’, ‘timeGridWeek’, ‘listWeek’, ‘dayGridWeek’.
• locale=”es” – accepts any two letter ISO 639-1 language code
