Add to Calendar Button

Make your events get saved. This WordPress plugin lets you create beautiful buttons with calendar links, where people can add events to their calendars. All of this with just a few clicks and highly customizable, using the popular Add to Calendar Button script. Check out the official website for a comprehensive demo and overview. 🛠️ INTEGRATED IN SECONDS You can either use the shortcode [add-to-calendar-button] or the Gutenberg Block. With the PRO version, it only takes the ID to make it fly. In the no-PRO case, you simply place the necessary attributes directly in the shortcode, or at the Gutenberg Block settings. (Mind that you cannot use ‘[‘ and ‘]’ characters, when going for the shortcode option! For content formatting, you can use {‘{‘}xxx{‘}’} instead of [xxx] there.) 🚀 GO PRO Go even further with the PRO version… → Manage all details and styling via a convenient web app. → Use the same button to let people RSVP to your events – fully managed. → Get auto-generated landing pages and shareable links for your events. → Have better guidance for your users, when they add events to their calendars and things don’t go as expected. 👉 Learn more at add-to-calendar-pro.com. ✨ SUPPORTED CALENDARS Google Calendar. Yahoo Calender. Microsoft 365, Outlook, and Teams. Automatically generated iCal/ics files (for all other calendars, like Apple). 📆 SUPPORTED EVENT TYPES Timed and all-day events. One-time, multi-date, recurring. Most robust time zone and daylight saving management. Dynamic dates (like “today + 3”). 🎨 ADJUST THE LOOK The button comes with multiple themes as well as a dark and light mode. You can easily adjust almost every element by setting the respective simple attributes. In case you want to go all-in, you can also manipulate all kinds of colors and further styling. 🖖 EXPERT ACCESSIBILITY Optimized and adjustable UX (for desktop and mobile). Dynamic dropdown positioning. Taking care of all those edge cases, where some scenarios do not support specific setups (like WebView blocking downloads); utilizing beautiful user guidance workarounds. Auto-generated Schema.org rich (structured) data for better SEO. Full support for mouse, touch, or keyboard input (W3C WAI compliant). Aside from the WordPress editor, the button itself supports 20+ languages, incl. RTL text for Arabic; but also offers the option to customize all labels and text blocks. 📄 ABOUT THE LICENSE Mind that the script to actually generate the Add to Calendar Button uses the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2)! This usually comes with no restrictions for you, but it forbids you to rework the core script and provide the product (generating an add-to-calendar-button) to others as a managed service. In almost every case, this will not affect you. If you are not sure, because you are building some kind of SaaS, where you are using the plugin, simply contact us.

Hello Event

Hello Event adds event management and ticket sales in an extremely easy way to any WordPress site! Just drop in the plugin and you’re ready to go. Welcome to the “Hello World” for events! With this plugin you can easily create and manage events (like concerts, training camps or competitions). The events you create have fields for location, start and end dates (and optionally times for events that are not full-day events) and can be presented in different formats, both in lists and in calendars. If you have installed WooCommerce you will be able to generate and sell tickets with a simple click. On the event page a link will point to the tickets in WooCommerce and in WooCommerce there will be a backlink from the ticket to the event. And in the backend dashboard you will immediately see how ticket sales progress for each event Hello Event supports different date and time formats and is of course multi-lingual and currently comes with translations for English, French and Swedish. More languages will be added, and if you want to add other languages yourself, you can easily do that for example with the help of the Loco plugin. Hello Event is iCal compatible and the event pages will display an “Add to calendar button” to allow users to insert the event into their calendars. The plugin can make use of external services to present the locations of events. For this purpose either Google Maps or OpenStreetMap may be used. Although the plugin is perfect for use by the non-technical site creator, it is also developer-friendly with shortcodes, hooks and all styling provided by CSS that can be overridden. To get you going immediately the plugin will automatically show event-related information when a post of the “hello_event” custom type is presented. For more control, you can switch off the automatic insertion of this information and use the shortcodes provided wherever you want. To enhance the organic SEO of your site, all pages that present events provide Structured Data descriptions of the event – see Google documentation on Structured Data. With Hello Event you can now use WooCommerce and all its different payment gateways to handle the ticket sales! Easy peasy! SEE DEMO.
