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…
This feature is new in ICS Calendar version 10.7. With this parameter, list view supports pagination. When using pagination, be sure to also include the count parameter. You should use count to set the total number of events you want to display, and pagination to set the number of events to display per “page.” Note:… Read More →
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.

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.

ICS Calendar Pro supports the Block Editor (a.k.a. Gutenberg) with an ICS Calendar block. When inserting a new block, simply type /ics to select the ICS Calendar block. ICS Calendar blocks function identically to the Calendar Builder, except that the calendar you create with the block exists only in the page where you create it,…
This is an evolving page, where we will collect CSS “tricks” we have worked out with users of the plugin, to help them accomplish their specific goals with calendar display. If the display issue you’re encountering is not listed here, please open a ticket in the WordPress Support Forums.
These CSS classes are presented as a reference, but are not in context. ICS Calendar takes extensive advantage of the “cascading” aspect of CSS and uses more complex selectors in most cases, so using your browser’s inspector is the most effective way to find the right selector to use in any given situation. The “lazy”…
Set the date display format.
As a developer, documentation can always be one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish. It’s absolutely critical to help users of complex software, but it can also be one of the most tedious aspects of the project. After all, why write about what you’ve already built, when you could be building something new instead?…
Return the full parsed event data array only, rather than displaying calendar output.
Invert the overall calendar display from dark-on-light to light-on-dark.
