UpStream Calendar View Extension is a visual scheduling tool that allows project managers to see every event, milestone, and task across one or all projects in a unified interface. The extension provides a color-coded overview of due dates and project progress directly within the WordPress dashboard. It serves as a vital visualization layer for teams needing to monitor deadlines across complex project portfolios.
WPExclusive members get access to Calendar View as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full UpStream collection →
What Is UpStream Calendar View Extension?
UpStream Calendar View Extension is developed by UpStream and is an administration plugin for WordPress. It acts as an add-on for the core UpStream project management system, enhancing how data is presented to administrators and clients. It belongs to the administration category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for backend management.
The extension solves the problem of tracking disconnected deadlines by centralizing milestones, tasks, and bugs into a familiar calendar format. It is designed for project managers who require a bird’s-eye view of their team’s workload without clicking through individual project pages.
UpStream Calendar View Extension Features
Calendar View is built around providing a highly interactive and visual representation of project timelines.
Interactive Project Visualization
The extension adds a dedicated calendar tab to the WordPress dashboard. Users can toggle between seeing items for a specific project or viewing every task across the entire administration interface. Events are color-coded, making it easy to distinguish between milestones, tasks, and reported bugs at a glance.
Direct Item Editing
Calendar View eliminates the need to navigate deep into project menus to make updates. Clicking on any item within the calendar opens a pop-up window containing its relevant details. From this interface, users can click the Edit button to go directly to that specific item’s configuration page, speeding up the project management workflow.
Flexible Viewing Modes
The plugin includes multiple display modes beyond the standard month view, including week and day perspectives. A specialized bar view is also available from the main Projects screen. This bar view provides a high-level progress report on active projects, showing which ones are currently in progress without cluttering the screen with individual tasks.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the standalone extension starts at $59.00 formally, though it is often bundled with other UpStream add-ons. Check current pricing on the Calendar View sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.
