Super Events Calendar WordPress Plugin
A WordPress events calendar plugin that integrates with Elementor
About this project
I needed an Events Calendar plugin, and the popular WordPress plugins were either bloated with features I didn’t need, locked basic functionality behind expensive annual licenses, or just didn’t play well with Elementor. So I built my own.
Super Events Calendar has two custom post types, five taxonomies, a recurring events engine, five calendar views with AJAX navigation, front-end submission form with spam protection, iCal export, and a full Elementor integration — ten widgets, ten dynamic tags, and custom Loop Grid query sources. Zero custom database tables.
Key features
// 01
5-View Calendar
Month, week, day, list, and grid views with AJAX navigation and category/tag/format filtering.
// 02
Recurring Events
Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly patterns. Generates real child posts so Loop Grid works natively.
// 03
10 Elementor Widgets
Event date, map, RSVP, venue card, countdown, submission form, calendar, calendar grid, add-to-calendar
// 04
Front-end submissions
Configurable form with honeypot protection, rate limiting, file uploads, and email notifications.
// 05
iCal Export
RFC 5545 .ics downloads plus Google Calendar, Outlook, and Yahoo links per event.
// 06
Venue Management
Separate post type with address, map, phone, website. Venue cards auto-link to events.
// 07
Loop Grid Queries
Pre-built query sources: upcoming, past, today, this week, this month, and custom date ranges.
