WP-Cat2Calendar

WP-Cat2Calendar is a plugin which can organize posts into a calendar by category(/ies). It supports a shortcode so you can create a lot of calendars with different settings for different posts or pages on your blog. Every day in the calendar will list the posts published on that day for the selected categories.

Usage

Use WP-Cat2Calendar shortcode in your post/page to add a calendar.

You can add a calendar using the php lines:

$options = array(...);
global $wpCat2Calendar;
echo $wpCat2Calendar->display($options);

Options

  1.0 – 1.0.1 – uncategorized by default.

  You also can use a special keyword post_author which will be replaced with a post author ID where shortcode is placed.
