Plugin Description
Display calendars from https://openagenda.com on your site.
Basic usage
This WordPress plugin allows you to embed any calendar hosted on https://openagenda.com on your WordPress site.
Upon activation, the plugin creates a new post type named Calendars. Just create a new calendar, provide the UID of the calendar you wish to display in the calendar settings box, and that’s it !
You can leave the content area for this calendar empty, as it will be populated automatically with your events !
Your events are automatically inserted after your content. If you wish to control where your events will be listed, just use the shortcode [openagenda] in your content.
Settings
General settings can be found under the Calendar > Settings entry in the admin menu.
All data related to your API key or calendars can be found on https://openagenda.com.
The settings are divided into two tabs: General and Integrations.

The General settings page provides the following settings :

- Allow for embedded content : If your events contain embedded content, tick this box to allow the corresponding HTML tags.
- Load default stylesheets : The plugin provides very basic styling and depends heavily on your theme’s styles. Disable this to rely 100% on your theme styles.
