Calendar Block
The Calendar block (eventonomy/calendar) shows a month-grid calendar of your upcoming event occurrences. Every day cell already lists the events on that date, so visitors read the month at a glance rather than clicking each day to find out what is on.
When to Use It
Add it to your Events page when you want visitors to browse by date rather than scroll a list. It pairs well with the Search & Filter block placed above it.
How to Add It
Block Editor:
- Open your Events page in the Block Editor.
- Click + and search for Eventonomy Calendar.
- Insert the block.
Shortcode:
[eventonomy_calendar view="month"]
Use the shortcode in the Classic Editor or in a page builder that doesn't support Gutenberg blocks.

What Visitors Can Do
Each day cell shows the events happening that day as small labelled entries; clicking one opens that event. The previous and next arrows move a month at a time, which loads the page again with the new month in the address bar (so a month is a shareable, bookmarkable link).
A busy day is truncated with a "+N more" link so no single date can swamp the grid. Set the cut-off at Eventonomy → Settings → Appearance → Max events shown per day (month view) (default: 3). The same cut-off applies to the day-by-day agenda a phone shows instead of the month grid: each day lists its first few events and a "+N more" link to that day's list.
Mini Calendar (for sidebars)
Eventonomy Mini Calendar is a version of this block made for sidebars and widget areas. Search for it in the block inserter.
- A small month with one-letter weekday names. Days with events carry a dot, and today is ringed.
- Tapping a day lists its events below the month (title and time with its time zone, each linking to the event). A busy day shows three events and a "+N more events" link to that day's list. A day with nothing on it says "No events".
- The first day with an upcoming event is selected when the page loads.
- It fits a 240px column with all seven days visible.

Event calendar | The heading above the mini calendar. Clear it to hide the heading. |
Leave the theme's widget title empty when you place it in a widget area: the block shows its own heading.
