Gutenberg Event Calendar block
In the WordPress Block Editor, add Event Calendar (simple-events-pro/event-calendar). Its sidebar settings let editors choose an optional initial month in YYYY-MM-DD format and show or hide the category filter. The block previews the dynamic calendar inside the editor and retains the same AJAX month navigation on the published page.
iCalendar export
Single events include automatic download and subscription links. Subscribe to the feed in Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, etc.
Subscription feed URL: Users can add this to their calendar app:
<?php echo esc_url(Simple_Events_Pro_iCal::get_subscription_url()); ?>Single event download: Each event page includes a download link that saves the event as .ics.
Shortcode: Add a subscription link anywhere:
