Plugin Description
I’m Matthew Fries (that’s where the MF in MF Gig Calendar comes from) and I’m a jazz pianist and educator. I’m not able to support this plugin as enthusiastically as before, but I developed it originally 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 6.2.2.

As a general rule I’ve tried to keep this as simple and flexible as possible.
