The only WordPress plugin using native posts as full calendar events with begin and end date, geolocation, color and weather.

Adds some meta-data to posts to convert them into full calendar events.
Each event can be exported into ical(.ics), outlook(vcs), or Google Calendar.
Geolocation works thanks to openstreetmap.

It can also fetch the weather, but doesn’t bring the sun 🙂

Frequently asked questions

How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities. Report a security vulnerability.

Is the plugin free ?

Yes, and it uses only open-sources : openstreetmap, openlayer, jquery

How do I enable weather feature ?

Weather feature uses openweathermap.org api.

You have to create an account and generate an API key at http://openweathermap.org/price

I have no interest in openweathermap.org, I personally use the free plan.

Is there any limitation for the weather feature ?

Openweathermap.org provides a free plan limited to 60 requests per minute.

You can also subscribe to paid plan, I don’t care.
