You always...always manage to get me out of a "I know nothing about word press hole" I've dug for myself. Thank you so much Kori you are appreciated! Take care of you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the kind encouragement :)
I used the lite version of modern events calendar and I was okay with it. But because i needed to have priced events for my yoga classed i upgraded it to pro version. I had events calendar before that but as modern events is only once-paid, i decided to migrate to it. Thank you Kori for this great video by the way :)
Thank you for the video Kori, it was helpful.
Thank you for leaving a kind comment!
I love love love The Events Calendar. I used their free version to build a calendar that is used by a large portion of one industry to track tradeshows. I eventually did some addons and man is it easy to use and administer.
Yea-yasss!
How can i use reusable blocks on calender list or month view page above and below the list of events. I tried custimzing the template. The reusable block loses all its css if added in the template override process. By the way i wnat to do it on free version.
Thank you! This video helps me a lot!
Glad it helped! Thanks for leaving a kind comment.
HO i forgot to tell you that you are so fantastic ! everything seems so clear with you!
Thank you :)
Thank you Kori :))
You're very welcome :))
Thank you so much Kori for such an amazing video. I wanna ask without coding are we being able to earn money with WordPress?
I know a lot of ppl who do. If you learn a good theme like Divi - that takes no code skills.
@@KoriAshton Thanks a lot for your answer. It really meant a lot to me. Also would you please tell me that is this a secure way? for the future too or either, I should have to move towards coding too to keep making money with WordPress.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much, this will transform our church website traffic, going to load all our events
Wonderful! The free version is great and the pro version is worth the money too! Thank you for leaving encouraging feedback.
@@KoriAshton thank you, i am unable to view the events when i browse the website as a visitor, do you know why this maybe the case?
@@ciccrequests6557 What's your website address?
See if you can get to the events calendar by clicking on this link in your dashboard d.pr/i/Q2Xct9
Can you add the events as a header tab? Creating the event was clear, but do we display that on the website? Thank you so much for all of your videos!
I have the same question
Yep. Events now live at www.YOURURL.com/events So you can make a custom link in your header navigation and link to the overview of your full calendar.
Is there a way to add a link to the events calendar page to a widget block that is on the left side of my homepage? (I hope this question makes sense, I have no idea what I am doing! lol)
You can create a text link and send folks to /events on your website. Sure thing!
@@KoriAshton thank you! You are truly so helpful!
@@Jessicaiota Thank you!
Can you possibly do a video of getting it to show up on my front page. Do I need dedicate a whole page for it or can I just put it as a widget on my front page.
Are you using the Free version or the pro version?
See if this helps ua-cam.com/video/QInHACQc0ok/v-deo.html
Where do you display the events tab on your website? Creating the event was clear, but do we display that on the website? I am using Elementor. Do you need a theme for the events to display first? Thank you so much for all of your videos!
Same question

Kori; As a follow up. Could this freebie calendar plugin be configured as a Booking Calendar? I own beach front rental property and could certainly use one. Possibly you may know of such an animal as you amazingly seem to be able to come up with many valuable programs for the price of FREE. Booking Calendar might be the makings for another video segment? Many thanks for all you do and I am happy that you and your health issues are doing well. WRM
I have another video on that here on my channel. Let me see if I can get you the link.
Check out these ua-cam.com/users/webtegritysearch?query=booking
Kori; Thanks so much for the Booking Calendar referral. PERFECT!
@@waynemercier5084 Yay!!
Hi, thanks for the great video. I am using the free version of Event Calendar which is great but when I subscribe to the calendar and connect it to Google calendar on my Android device all the events start one (1) hour late! I have tried all sorts to sort this out with no success! Any chance you could point me in the right direction to sort it, please? Thanks in advance
Hey Allan - thanks for reaching out. Is your website time set correctly? That's something that may be causing the error. Take a look under your dashboard > settings > general and set that time zone. See if that corrects the issue.
hi there! Great stuff - loving it! just have a quick question - do you happen to know or maybe you've done a more detailed video on this event management plugin but, is there a way to modify or adjust the style of the events that are displayed on the page? Or only the calendar one is available in a free version? Thank you in advance!
very limited on the free version for styling and shortcodes. Check out an additional plugin that may help wordpress.org/plugins/template-events-calendar/
@@KoriAshton thanks for your piece of advice. I think there is pretty limited version style-wise. However, do you know if there is any way I can insert any text blocks for the events page? It looks like I cannot place any text before or after the calendar
@@aroam2031 Are you calling the calendar to appear by shortcode or by their default /events page? What theme are you using? My route would be to use blocks to place text above or below and use a shortcode block to display the calendar, but that depends on your theme's capabilities.
@@KoriAshton thanks for your response! I use Astra theme and edit content on the Gutenberg page builder by default (since I do not have Elementor Pro). Also, I use the shortcode to add a calendar to my page builder. For some reason, I add the paragraph to the page builder and it's visible and displayed just right; however, when previewing the page, only a calendar with my event is displayed. With that said, I have no clue how to rectify this and whether I can add any other content besides the calendar itself. I wanted to jazz up the page and make it more to the design I have on the entire website (with background images and everything) but it does not seem to be feasible, when using Gutenberg at least. Do you happen to have a good solution to this?
@@KoriAshton on top of that, I just realized I cannot even edit a header or a footer on this specific page where the calendar is. Why might be the issue in this case? I am devastated :(
Great! Can users create events from frontend, too?
Not with the free version. But with this Pro Addon they sure can :) theeventscalendar.com/products/community-events/
Can you use calendar this to have a master calendar with multiple cities with multiple types of categories of events under each city? Thanks!
Sure. You would create each city as their own category and then display a calendar with only that category visible. You may have to purchase the premium version of this plugin though to get the exact look you desire.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Kori ‼️
Thanks for the LOVE!
thanks so much but how can i change the color of the word ???
What word? Are you trying to change a title or link? Try this plugin - ua-cam.com/video/nw9aDFjw0mQ/v-deo.html
New to WordPress and was looking for an event calendar plugin that was easy to use. I happened upon your site and 1,2,3 I had my first event entered and done!! Since I am new to WP, how do I get the events calendar onto my site and display the events? Sorry Still learning!!
Thanks for leaving a comment. Looks like we may have missed you in the feed. Please reach back out if we can ever help.
So I can create an event and preview it and get the nice Calender view. But how do I make the calender view at 6.26 display on my website for visitors to see? I'm using the free version. Anyone pls help.
Thank you for leaving a comment. Looks like we missed responded in this thread. Please reach out if we can help in the future.
Does the plugin support a filterable calender view
Yes. Check out more details here - theeventscalendar.com/products/wordpress-events-calendar/
Amazing!
Yay!!!
I'm having trouble formatting the individual event (the page it takes you after clicking "Find Out More") underneath the header. I'm not able to edit that page using Elementor. Is there another way to ensure the header of that pages matches the headers on the rest of the site that use Elementor? Thanks!

How do I add a featured image to my Event Calendar in Wordpress?
On the "add new event" post where you place in all of your event content select the featured image on the right column.
I know how to add a featured image for each event, I'm talking about my main Event page when someone clicks on it, it takes you to the calendar page but there is a blank banner space there that I want to add an image.@@KoriAshton
Can you make it to where visitors to the site can add events themselves?
Yes, but with this plugin that would be an upgraded feature. Something like this theeventscalendar.com/bundles/bundle-community-manager/
Hi Kori, I am not able to use the month view layout in the free version of this plugin. Only "Default list layout" and "Timeline layout" is available.
Can you go into the settings area and add the Month to the options?
thanks for the information
You bet
It is difficult to follow where you are clicking since this video does not show the curser/pointer. Why?
Yeah - sadly I think my screen recording software didn't pick up my cursor throughout the demo. :( That issue is fixed now, thankfully!
Modern Calendar has more features in the free version
Thank you for leaving a comment. Looks like we missed this one in the threads. Please feel free to reach out if we can ever help.
hello i would like to inform my customer that i will make an event on september but i don't really know the date? how can i do?
You might just announce it then and not use a calendar tool. Once you know the dates you can assign it to the calendar.
@@KoriAshton ho yes ! i can put it in a popup for instance?
What about recurring events?
With this plugin - that's only a pro feature. It doesn't function in the free version.
but how to display that calendar in my blog?
You'd need to use a shortcode to display the calendar in a different location on your WordPress website. But if you're using the free version of The Events Calendar plugin - it's not possible. You would have to either buy the pro version or add this other plugin wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/
How can I edit the calendar page?
Do you want to add more to that page directly or change the design? You'll probably need the Paid Version so that you can use the Shortcodes to drop your calendar on any page or post you design. Either that or try this plugin wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/
Dang. The title made me think you'd show how to display a calendar on the site.
Ah - you need to use their shortcode or just add /events to the end of your URL. Maybe this video will help ua-cam.com/video/QInHACQc0ok/v-deo.html
this plugin is not free anymore
You can only install plugins with a business account :(
Sounds like you're on WordPress.com version. You should be able to do this on the WordPress.org version - see this video to explain the difference ua-cam.com/video/L7k49gWveS8/v-deo.html
hi
Howdy!
Thank you. You really helped me a lot!
Awesome! Thanks for the kind feedback!
