Readme

HashCalendly

Turns any '#calendly' link on your WordPress site into a Calendly booking popup.

Built by Manoj Murulinath — one of a handful of small WordPress plugins being open-sourced from years of hands-on WordPress and webops work. Sibling to HashCal and HashHubspot.

What it does

Set your Calendly link once in the plugin settings. After that, any link anywhere on your site with href="#calendly" will pop open that event's Calendly booking widget instead of navigating anywhere — no per-page setup, no shortcodes, no extra plugins.

This solves the usual pain of wiring up Calendly inside a page builder (Salient, Elementor, etc.), where you'd otherwise have to drop the embed script into a custom HTML widget on every single page or button.

Works with:

  • WordPress menu items
  • Page builder buttons
  • Raw HTML links (<a href="#calendly">Book a call</a>)

Installation

  1. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
  2. Upload hashcalendly.zip
  3. Click Install Now, then Activate

Setup

  1. Go to Settings → HashCalendly
  2. Enter your Calendly link in either format:
    • Short form: your-org/your-event-type
    • Full URL: https://calendly.com/your-org/your-event-type (Either way, it's cleaned up automatically on save.)
  3. Click Save Settings

Usage

Anywhere you can set a link URL, use #calendly:

<a href="#calendly">Book a call</a>
  • WordPress menu item: set the URL field to #calendly
  • Page builder button: set the link/URL field to #calendly
  • If your builder strips a bare #calendly down to something odd, try https://yourdomain.com/#calendly instead — the plugin matches both forms.

Notes

  • The plugin's script and stylesheet only load on pages if a Calendly link has actually been saved in settings — no link configured means nothing extra is loaded at all.
  • Uses Calendly's official popup widget (initPopupWidget), loaded on demand only when a #calendly link is actually clicked — not on every page load.

Uninstalling

  • Deactivating the plugin (Plugins screen) turns it off but keeps your saved Calendly link — reactivating brings it right back.
  • Deleting the plugin (Deactivate, then Delete) removes the saved setting automatically via uninstall.php. No manual cleanup needed.
