How WebCalendar works
Show full descriptionShow less
WebCalendar gives your WordPress site a clean, responsive calendar with the features you actually need — recurring events, iCal import, holiday imports, email reminders, and fine-grained permissions — without the complexity.
Calendar Views & Display
Month, week, and day views with smooth AJAX navigation — no page reloads
Responsive design that adapts to any theme and screen size
Color-coded categories for visual organization

Edit a single instance or the entire series
File attachments via the WordPress Media Library
Public, Private, and Confidential visibility levels
Filter the calendar by tag, and jump straight to what visitors are looking for
Venues and organizers — reusable places and contacts, managed in one screen, shown on every event page
Custom event fields — text, dates, drop-downs and more, defined once and filled in on every event
Online and hybrid events with a “Join online” link, separate from the physical location
Conflict detection warns you about overlapping events (Starter+)

For Developers
Full REST API for events, categories, holidays, layers, and shared calendars
Built on Clean Architecture with webcalendar-core business logic library
All calendar data in dedicated webcal_* tables — no Custom Post Types
Technical Note: Database Architecture
This plugin integrates webcalendar-core, a framework-agnostic Composer library that provides all calendar business logic (events, recurrence, iCal, permissions) through 17 repository classes. These repositories require PDO and use exclusively parameterized prepared statements — no raw SQL concatenation. WordPress-specific data (users, options, capabilities) is accessed via $wpdb through the plugin’s Bridge layer (WpUserRepository, WpConfigRepository, etc.). See src/Bridge/PdoFactory.php for the connection factory.
External Services
This plugin connects to the following third-party services:
Nager.Date API
Used for importing public holidays via WebCalendar > Holidays.
* Endpoint: https://date.nager.at/api/v3/
* Privacy Policy
Google Calendar Public Feeds
Alternative holiday source. Fetches public .ics files from Google.
Development & Source Code
Full unminified source for this plugin is included in this distribution under GPL-2.0-or-later — you do not need to download anything external to rebuild the compiled assets.
What ships in this zip:
src/ — unminified React/JSX source for all admin components, frontend calendar, and the mini-calendar widget
build/ — the pre-compiled minified bundles (what the plugin actually loads at runtime)
package.json + package-lock.json — Node build manifest and lockfile for reproducible npm install
composer.json — PHP dependency manifest
Rebuilding the compiled assets from source:
Prerequisites: PHP 8.1 or higher with Composer 2, Node.js 20 or higher with npm 10.
npm run build — compile src/index.js and src/frontend.js into the minified bundles under build/
The compiled output in build/ is byte-reproducible from the matching src/ at the same version using this toolchain.

About WebCalendar on the WordPress Plugin Directory
WebCalendar is one of the apps AppRanks tracks on the WordPress Plugin Directory. We refresh public marketplace data — pricing, rating, review count, category position, featured-section memberships — within the per-marketplace freshness targets published on our methodology page, and we publish the snapshot here exactly as it appears on the source marketplace. There is no proprietary score on this page; everything you see is mirrored from the live listing at our last crawl. If you are evaluating WebCalendar against alternatives, the independent listing audit scores it against the same rubric we apply to every app on the platform — listing completeness, rating health, review velocity, merchandising, and ranking consistency. The audit also surfaces a prioritized recommendation list, so a developer can see exactly which fixes would move the score most.
