MF Gig Calendar free WordPress plugin

I’m Matthew Fries (that’s where the MF in MF Gig Calendar comes from) and I’m a NYC jazz pianist and part-time web developer. I developed this plugin because I wanted a flexible and easy to use performance calendar for my own music website. In the process I tried to create something that would work for more than just musicians. I’ve added a few features since it started: Current Features beginning and end dates for multiple-day events WordPress’s WYSIWYG editor for the event description so you can include styled text, links, images and other media in your event list a duplicate function to make it easier if you have a repeating event that you don’t want to re-enter over and over an RSS feed a widget to list a few upcoming events in the sidebar an archive to view past events by year supports localization (waiting on translations…) shortcode variables to customize the output The calendar can be placed in any PAGE or POST on your WordPress site – even in more than one place. Just include the following short code where you want the calendar to appear: [mfgigcal] Requires WordPress 3.3 or newer because of the changes to the WordPress WYSIWYG editor. Personally tested up to 4.1. Want to keep in touch? Here are a few options… www.matthewfries.com facebook twitter As a general rule I’ve tried to keep this as simple and flexible as possible. If you’re a musician and you want really fancy – ticketing info, mapping, tour grouping, and all the bells and whistles you can stand – you should check out “Gigs Calendar” by Dan Coulter over at blogsforbands.com. It’s a great plugin that I’ve also used quite a few times on other sites that has all kinds of cool features specific to musicians and fans. Really, it’s great.
