This is an example of My Calendar installed, using the most current default settings. Style and JavaScript settings may change slightly between versions — this version will always show the most current version of all styles. You can switch the calendar between list and calendar views below.
If you want a particular type of event added, just let me know — this is just a sample calendar, no events should be assumed to be real.

@Chris Yes, it’s possible; there are a number of ways. I’d suggest using
<?php echo do_shortcode('[my_calendar_upcoming before=”0” after=”5” type=”event” category=”General” template=”{title} {date}”]'); ?>
Essentially, you run the shortcode in the shortcode interpreter function, which allows you to use the shortcode features anywhere in your template.
Good afternoon Joe. Is it possible to call the upcoming events alone in a non-widget sidebar ala the way it is done with Kieran’s calendar and the command? I had yours installed instead, but had no luck calling this information and reverted back to Calendar.
No problem. Just keeping an eye on this site for further developments.
yes thanks for your help…as you can tell, this is all new to me…by the way…the plugin works really well…
@Shane Add the attributes
after="5" before="0"into the shortcode.@tesha Sorry, that’s not really an option.
@Szeng Thanks for helping AP out!
@AP: it’s determined by your WordPress setting, look under settings (I think the general tab).
Your calendar on this page shows each week starting on a Sunday. However, my calendar starts on a Monday. Is there an option to make it so the first day of the week is a Sunday like the example on this page?
Excellent plugin Joe, we’ll be making a donation as soon as the funding comes through for the site.
I have a question tho’ - can I display, on a page, just the current single-day’s, activities AND have a graphical display of a calendar to click on to choose another day?
I think the calendar is great. I have a page with the full calendar view and on my homepage I am displaying most recent events. However, it is displaying all the events. How to I have it only show the top 5.
Here is what I currently have for code.
[my_calendar_upcoming category=”” template=”{title} {date}”]
Well, as I said, I don’t know Jack about code, just some CSS and HTML, so I’m stuck here
But anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
@Magnus Well, you may need to look at combining a calendar plugin with a registration plugin. I know that there is a plugin called Events Registration which is supposed to be good - the free version is way out of date, however, so you’d definitely need to buy it.
@Sjeng Wow, that is pretty weird. It’s a JavaScript or CSS issue, not a PHP issue, but I’ll definitely try and play with that. You can change the JavaScript in the plugin admin yourself, if you want to try something else.
Hi!
Well, the calendar works like a charm in IE8, but the popup boxes are jumping all over the place in Opera 10… Which is what I use mostly
Also, all the info boxes seem to be opened in Opera, and always aligned to the right of the day, making the rightmost boxes disappear behind the widgets column…
Is there a way to fix that? (I’m no php coder)
If not, I’d be happy with a way to make the popups appear just like in Keiran O’Shea’s calendar, a simpler rollover effect.
(I wonder why great plugins such as this always have different effects in different browsers.)
Hi
I’m looking for an Event Calender Plugin with a sign up function (where you can see all thats signed up). Any ideas?
Regards
.mange
Awesome! Thanks so much for your efforts and accessibility (pun intended).
@Jeff Yes, using categories. The shortcode supports creating calendars which only contain specific categories.
Joe, is it possible to have multiple event calendars on one wordpress installation? I have a client who has three locations, and doesn’t want to list all events on one calendar. That would get very messy, very fast. It would be fine to enter events for separate calendars through one admin panel, or independently.
@Aaron Thanks for the suggestion on the GPS coordinates. Adding event titles to the list format is significantly problematic, since the list is organized by date, not by event.
@Rebecca Sorry, there’s no option for that. You can display upcoming events in relationship to the current day, or events by month according to the month, but there’s no method to display specific weeks.
Hi.
Great plugin!
I was wondering if I can display a list of events by week (starting sunday)?
Thank you very much

Really enjoying this plug-in - it’s going to solve problems for two associations I work with.
Two suggestions:
- as Bryan brought up, being able to add an event title to the list format would be _very_ helpful.
- allowing input of GPS coordinates in the location would solve rural locations vis-a-vis google maps - most rural areas don’t have usable addresses. The format for google is: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=43.5069,-80.541&t=k&z=18 ( the t and z affect the view type and zoom , the q is the longitute / latitude).
@Don No worries, I understand! None of the widgets are capable, at this time, of generating a graphical calendar - the only graphical calendar option is from using shortcodes. You can get all the information on the shortcodes in the plugin’s Help information page. I do have plans for adding graphical calendar formats in the widgets, and for making multiple widgets available; but those features are not yet ready.
Joe,
A newbie for WordPress; working with your plugin as one of my first learning experiences. So please don’t laugh (or groan) too loudly.
I uploaded the files into the plugin directory and My Calendar showed up. I was able to activate it and add events. So far so good.
In the widget area, it seemed to add two widgets, “Todays Events” and “Future Events”. When I drag those into my sidebar, they automatically come up as a list rather than calendar graphic mode. I do not see where the shortcode is to be able to change the format. There is code available underneath the widget, but the code there seems to be the widget code.
I also want a 3rd event, as I want Past Events displayed as a calendar, Todays Events as a list and Future events back to calendar. So looks like I need a third widget generated.
Will be appreciative of any help you can provide.
Thanks…Don
@Adam I’ll check into that and make an update when I have an answer for you. Thanks.
Hi Joe,
lovely plugin, a lot of of options…, just this one
[my_calendar_today category=”whatever”] gives me an error
“Call to undefined function my_calendar_today_events() in ../../../my-calendar.php on line 312 ???
Any suggestions, THX in advance,
Adam
My calendar is at “Eventos próximos”.
Hi!!!! okok
I have a problem with “my calendar”. Please look at my web: http://www.orientacionholistica.com.mx/wordpress
Here there is a calendar, but I cant see graphic calendar. It has not link!!!
(Sorry… I dont speak english very well!!!)
Can you give me your mail please??
My mail is ana.comunikas@gmail.com. Im from Mexico =)
Thanks!!
I’m sorry! I don’t speak Spanish. We can try to work through automated translations, I suppose, although those are rarely effective.
¡Lo siento! No hablo español. Podemos tratar de trabajar a través de traducciones automáticas, supongo, aunque los que rara vez son eficaces.
Hi! Do you speak spanish? =) I have a problem with “My calendar” =(
Hola!!!!! Cómo hago para activar el modo calendario y no de lista???
Thanks for the quick response Joe!
Unfortunately, my client doesn’t like the look with the javascript off, so I am not quite sure what I am going to do. I suppose I will have to search for another solution until you have time to integrate the functionality.
I think it looks fine, but they are paying the bill.
Thanks again, and continue the great work!
Kind regards,
Bryan
@Bryan At the moment, that’s not possible - it’s coming, but not there yet. However, with a calendar as small as yours, you may actually be best off to simply disable the list javascript — this way, you’d be able to see the full description for all your events.
The shortcodes are only valid for widgets, at the moment.
Hi Joe,
Awesome plugin! When I get back to work (been laid off for close to a year), I plan on making a worthwhile donation.
I have customized the calendar to my taste, but have a quick question. If you look at the calendar at http://www.teamster773.org/calendar-of-events, I would like to add the event name somewhere next to or underneath the dates, so it shows a bit more information.
I have tried a few shortcodes to no avail, and am curious if this is possible. If I can get that piece working, I will be ecstatic!
Thanks again for your talents and sacrifice to design a quality plugin.
Kind Regards,
Bryan J Zimmerman
Can you tell me what’s on line 944 of my-calendar.php in your file? That error should be cropping up everywhere if it’s actually there, but it could be that you simply have a corrupted or incomplete copy.
Hi, I´ve been trying to install the plugin but I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/homepage/ftpwim/wp-content/plugins/my-calendar/my-calendar.php on line 944
Can you help me?
That was fast - thanks! Now I have other feature ideas/requests to go post.
Just added a couple other views to this page; there’s no method to toggle between views, although that’s not a bad idea to add in the future.
Is there a way for the end user to toggle from calendar to list view? If not, do you have a sample of the list view?
