PJ Calendar

By the date itself. When the page loads, the calendar sorts each date into Current & Upcoming or Past in the visitor's browser — so a date moves on its own at midnight, even on sites with page caching, and you never have to re-file anything. The admin shows the same split: a Status column, Upcoming / Past views and a filter.

No. The plugin loads one stylesheet and one script, nothing from outside servers, and typography comes from your theme. When you save a date it also clears the page cache for you if you use W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache or WP Rocket.

None. Searching and filtering happen in the browser; nothing is stored or sent anywhere. Even the Pro Add to calendar links are built in the browser, so there's no tracking, no cookies and no account.

Yes. Drop the [pjcal] shortcode into any page or any builder that accepts shortcodes — Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Cornerstone, WPBakery and the rest. The layout adapts to whatever width it's given, and the light or dark scheme sits comfortably on either kind of site.

Yes. [pjcal show="upcoming"] shows just the upcoming list (or show="past" for an archive page). category="tour" limits a calendar to one category, and category="tour,studio" prints one calendar per category on the same page. For a long upcoming list, now_limit="5" shows five dates and puts the rest behind a “Show more” button.

Yes. Under Settings → PJ Calendar you set the count noun (singular and plural), both stat labels, the section titles and the empty-state text. Any of them can also be overridden per page as a shortcode attribute — [pjcal eyebrow="On tour" now_title="Next up" past_title="Where we've been"].

Both. image="123" (a media ID or a URL) adds a hero photo that sticks beside the list as the visitor scrolls; fullbleed="yes" lets the calendar break out of a narrow content column. If your theme has a fixed header, one line of CSS — .pjcal{--pjcal-top:90px} — keeps the sticky photo clear of it.

Enter a venue once — name, city, state, address, website — and pick it from a list for every date after that; a date's city and state fall back to the venue's automatically, and a venue typed in while adding a date is saved with that date's city and state. On the calendar the venue name links to its website, and a venue with a street address gets a small map pin that opens Google Maps in a new tab — no map embed, no API key. Dates are all-day by default; untick the box to add a start and end time, shown in your site's time format.

Any brand color plus custom background, card and text colors; your own heading and body fonts; an Add to calendar link (Google and .ics, with the venue's address) under every upcoming date; CSV import and export of dates and venues; the compact [pjcal_next] list for sidebars and footers; automatic updates in your dashboard; and priority support. The calendar itself — the upcoming/past split, venues, times, search, filters, stats, both schemes and all six accents — is fully included in the free version.

Yes. Pro is an add-on: install the free plugin from WordPress.org first, then install Pro and enter your license key under Settings → PJ Calendar.

With Pro, yes. Calendar → Import / Export takes a CSV with columns for title, event, start and end dates, times, venue, venue address, venue website, city, state, category, link and a few flags. Common header names like Venue, Start Date or Performances are recognised; categories and venues are created if they don't exist yet (with their address and website when the file has them), and rows that are already in the calendar are skipped. Export works the other way, so a spreadsheet stays a reliable backup.

One license covers one website, with a single one-time payment — no subscription. Activate it on the settings page; if you move to a new domain, click Deactivate on the old site and activate on the new one. Your key is shown on the order confirmation and in your receipt email.

Licenses don't expire. If a license is ever deactivated, the Pro settings simply pause and the calendar carries on with the free plugin's scheme and accent presets — nothing on your site breaks, and your Pro settings are kept for when you reactivate.

No. Everything is a setting or a shortcode attribute, and the Shortcodes tab under Settings → PJ Calendar lists every attribute with a copy-and-paste example. If you can add a shortcode to a page, you can add the calendar.

Pro comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee — email support and we'll refund it, no questions asked. The free plugin is, well, free.
