WordPress event calendar
Modern Events Calendar has been created according to trending design methods and latest technology with attractive design based on practical concept of design.
We gathered all features of event calendar as you desire with advanced booking system (Pro Version) and many other useful options which are practical in real world!
Using Modern Events Calendar Lite, you can create different single or recurring events and show them in frontend of your website using many modern skins and styles.
Best WordPress Event Management Plugin
Fortunately, though WordPress doesn’t enable these functions out of the box, there’s a plugin you can use. Modern Events Calendar is an easy way to manage events of all kinds on your WordPress site. As the name suggests, the core benefit of Modern Events Calendar is that it lets you create an events calendar that looks pretty great out of the box. That latter part is important because some popular event calendar plugins require a lot of custom styling to make them look good, which is tough if you don’t know your way around CSS.

Having 50 event view layouts, Modern Events Calendar, is indisputably the flagship in having so many view layouts among the competitors on the market. Yet, this is not the end since there is all set of new event view layouts designed based on the latest design methods and the fluent design concept all packaged in a new add-on called the Fluent View Layouts. This amazing add-on is free for a limited time. Read More

You can also set a url for your locations so your location can act as a URL display for livestreams/webinars.
There is also a feature that was added in the last update. Once you set the status of an event, those changes are reflected in the schema as well so that Google can detect your events’ status easier.Read More

As the name suggests, the core benefit of Modern Events Calendar is that it lets you create an events calendar that looks pretty great out of the box. That latter part is important because some popular event calendar plugins require a lot of custom styling to make them look good, which is tough if you don’t know your way around CSS. Modern Events Calendar lets you create great-looking event displays right out of the box, along with advanced features like ticketing and a custom event display builder. You can even integrate with Elementor for more design flexibility, and WooCommerce for more ticketing/payment flexibility.

If you are running an event website or you want to start a WordPress powered website with booking services, you need a managed WordPress hosting that will not disappoint you and a strong and practical plugin that can provide all the required features. The most important factor in such projects is the user-friendly environment the plugin creates. In this regard, both Lite and Pro versions of Modern Events Calendar (MEC) can help you.
Mustaasam Saleem on Cloudways Blog
The Modern Events Calendar plugin says quite a bit in its name, since it’s a high-quality, professional, and modern take on your standard events management layout. You can choose from a wide variety of designs, making it an excellent solution for branding and fitting in your website. It also includes a powerful booking system at only $34. Since this is sold on CodeCanyon you’re also signing up for a year of premium support, beating out some of those free plugins we’ve talked about earlier.
