Calendar plugin
The calendar plugin, written by Kieran O’Shea, is a very easy to use plugin. It differs from the-events-calendar in that you create a calendar event separately from the content to which the event applies.
Using the-events-calendar you create a post and then identify is as being an event.
Both calendar plugins display a page showing the month’s events. And if you hover over the event you see details of the event. The calendar plugin allows you to associate background colours to events of certain categories. With events calendar you can choose additional post categories.
You can see the calendar plugin in action on Kieran’s site or cwiccer.com.
