What Is EventON Full Cal Addon?
EventON Full Cal Addon is developed by EventON and is an events extension plugin for WordPress. It has been active since 2013 and is currently powering over 65,000 sites within the broader ecosystem. It belongs to the events category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for schedule management.
The addon transforms standard event lists into a cohesive monthly grid view that site visitors find familiar. It is designed for businesses needing a high-level overview of monthly activities while maintaining the modern style of the base plugin.
EventON Full Cal Addon Features
Full Cal features focus on visual clarity and interactive navigation within a traditional calendar box layout.
Interactive Grid Navigation
The grid includes horizontal month navigation with animated scrolling effects to move between dates. Users can toggle a “No Border” style for a cleaner appearance or configure the calendar to switch the focus date to the first day of every month automatically. This enhances the navigation experience in events management scenarios.
Engaging Event Previews
Quick Glance displays up to three color-coded events immediately when a user hovers over a date box. For deeper interaction, clicking a date opens a lightbox that lists all specific events for that day. A Hover Day Count feature also provides an effortless numerical summary of events happening on specific dates.
Heat Map and Load Options
The Heat Style date box option color codes each day based on event density, where darker colors highlight days with more activities. Developers can также choose to load all events on page load to display them directly under the grid for maximum visibility. The full layout is responsive and adapts to various screen sizes.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the standalone addon is $55 per year for a single site license. Accessing it via WPExclusive membership allows you to use the plugin on unlimited sites as part of your subscription.
