Collecting events and publishing them

My Calendar Pro extends My Calendar, an accessible WordPress event manager, with tools for gathering events from site users. Submissions can be free or pay-to-post. Administrators can tailor the form fields and review submissions before publication, so a submitted event can be checked before it appears in the calendar. Logged-in visitors can edit their own events from the front end.

Connecting event entries and blog posts

A custom field creator lets administrators add fields for the information their event workflow needs. My Calendar Pro can also make an event when a blog post is published, or publish a blog post when an event is created. These are two directions for connecting editorial posts and calendar listings.

Finding, importing, and sharing events

• Advanced search can narrow events by dates, categories, authors, and other criteria.
• Import events from ICS or CSV files, or from a URL.
• Share events between multiple websites through REST API support.
• Fetch events from a remote database for sharing across a site network.
• Manage events in WordPress Multisite.

Search helps visitors refine a large set of listings. Imports bring in event data that already exists, while API sharing and remote database access let related websites use shared event information.

Working with My Calendar

Install and activate My Calendar before adding the Pro extension to the same WordPress site. My Calendar provides calendar views, recurring events, categories, locations and venues, and display customization. It also includes responsive event views, JSON-LD structured data for events and venues, and iCal or Google Calendar export and subscription. These are features of the My Calendar environment in which Pro operates.

My Calendar is built with an accessibility-first approach for visitors and administrators using assistive technology. Its settings let organizations describe accessibility capabilities available at events and physical venues.
