About Monthly Events Calendar
This page is about Monthly Events Calendar — a free events calendar plugin for WordPress built and maintained by HaywoodTech — and the people and principles behind it.
HaywoodTech: who builds it
Monthly Events Calendar is made by the HaywoodTech team, WordPress developers who build sites and plugins. The goal is a calendar that’s simple to manage, looks clean on any theme, and doesn’t need a stack of paid add-ons.
The plugin was first published on WordPress.org in January 2024. In 2026 we picked up the pace with a security and timezone release (1.3), a Gutenberg block (1.4), translation fixes (1.5) and a new event data model with per-event timezones and The Events Calendar compatibility (1.6). Every change is listed in the changelog.
What we believe
- The core calendar should be free. Month, list and day views, venues, organizers and timezones are in the free plugin and will stay there.
- Simple beats sprawling. Every feature has to earn its place in the editor and on the page.
- Your data is yours. Events are standard WordPress content, and switching to us — or away from us — should never be a trap. That’s why the plugin can show your The Events Calendar events without touching them.
- Honest comparisons. Our comparison pages say where other plugins are the better fit.
How it’s developed
Monthly Events Calendar is open source under the GPL and distributed through WordPress.org, where you can read every release, leave a review and get support. Translations are managed on translate.wordpress.org.
What’s next
Recurring events, venue maps and RSVPs are on the roadmap. A paid add-on for ticket sales and seat selection is planned for organisers who need it — the free calendar stays free.
