User feedback is the primary driver for new and improved features in ICS Calendar, and here’s an example of that. While ICS Calendar was never envisioned as a tool for holiday rental vacancy calendars, it has definitely been taken up for that purpose, and I’ve been working steadily on improvements to that user experience. ICS…
Today’s release of ICS Calendar version 10.8.7 introduces a new parameter for your shortcode: combinemultiday=”true” What does this do? If your calendar often contains events that span multiple days, you may have noticed that, until now, those events were displayed as a series of discrete individual all-day events, repeating on each day in the range.…
It doesn’t happen that often… which is why this issue didn’t surface sooner. But in some cases, if you’re moving your site from one server to another — for example, if you’ve built a site on a staging server and then you’re copying the finished site to the live server — you won’t be able to activate…
These stickers are printed on durable, high opacity adhesive vinyl which makes them perfect for regular use, as well as for covering other stickers or paint. The high-quality vinyl ensures there are no bubbles when applying the stickers. • High opacity film that’s impossible to see through • Fast and easy bubble-free application • Durable… Read More →

Today ICS Calendar version 10.7.1 and ICS Calendar Pro version 4.4.3 are available. I strongly encourage users to upgrade both. (If you are running Pro, be sure to also get the 10.7.1 upgrade to the free version.) The recently introduced Load JS and CSS files on wp_enqueue_scripts action option has been removed, replaced with more…
When ICS Calendar Pro version 4.0 rolled out at the end of December, it introduced the new Full view, based on the FullCalendar library. It was a huge new feature, but it was, necessarily, incomplete. In web development terms, we talk about a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It’s a good way of approaching a project…
Today I received an email with an interesting question about ICS Calendar and caching. The sender wanted to know about when ICS Calendar retrieves the feed, and whether or not that can be controlled via a cron job. Good question! Here’s an edited and expanded version of my response. The basics of ICS Calendar caching…
Wrapping up our big late December-early January development push, ICS Calendar version 10.6 and ICS Calendar Pro version 4.3 are now available! These versions include a wide ranging number of “under-the-hood” changes as well as some improvements you’ll notice on the page. Some of these were detailed in “teaser” blog posts earlier this week. The…
ICS Calendar has grown and changed significantly since its inception nearly 6 years ago. The number of sites using it continues to grow, and the ways they commonly use it are quite different from what it was even capable of doing when it first launched. As new parameters have been added, the default has always…
This is a new feature that was spurred by a user request. This user liked what List view offers, but wanted to incorporate Masonry for a more compelling design. Honestly I’m not quite sure how much of a future the classic JavaScript-based Masonry has, as it seems to have been at least partially usurped by…
Deprecation is a funny word. Outside of the context of programming, it is generally only heard as part of the phrase “self-deprecating.” To be modest or critical of oneself, often in a humorous way. So what is deprecation in the programming sense? Basically it just means, “this still works, but you should stop using it.”…
