* The views can be configured in the block settings.
* If you don't want to use the provided Calendar block at all, just add a Query Loop block and select the post type "Events". This basic core-only feature that may be sufficient for one or the other.

= There are already several Events Calendar plugins on the market. Why did you develop a new plugin? =
* We believe that the majority of WordPress users are looking for a calendar solution that is simple, light-weight and future-proof. So we decided to start building a new plugin from scratch.
* Our solution is easy to customize and uses a well-crafted code base with the latest WordPress technology that is fully compatible with the latest PHP version.
* What's more, it only makes use of really necessary dependencies, selected with care. Compare the file sizes of the plugins and you will notice a difference.

= The calendar frontend looks really great. What's the technology in use? =
* Most of the calendar frontend, including the Javascript logic is based on the "schedule-x" JS library (MIT).

= Is the Plugin multilingual-ready? =
* Yes, the Plugin has been tested with Polylang and WPML.

= How do I change the color scheme? =
* You can define a primary color in the Events Calendar block via a color picker.
* If you require additional customization, you need to modify your stylesheet.

= Can I create organizers and venues? =
* Yes, these have been integrated as custom posts, ensuring you full flexibility.
* Once setup the posts can be assigned to your events.

= Can I create recurring events? =
* Making an event recurring is possible in the [PRO add-on](https://them.es/plugins/calendas "them.es Calendas").

= How do I migrate my existing events from third-party plugins? =
* Currently only "The Events Calendar" auto-migrations with relevant data are supported.
* But you can always use the easy spreadsheet-importer to bulk-import events, venues and organizers.
* Please understand that this feature can only be carried out with the [PRO add-on](https://them.es/plugins/calendas "them.es Calendas").

= Is it possible to add a contact form to my events? =
* You have full control over the content in the Block editor and of course you can also add a contact form there.
* Additionaly you can use PHP filters to add custom content or similar.

= Do you accept code contributions? =
* Yes. This is an Open Source project, so bug fixes, useful code additions or integrating automated tests, that could improve quality and make development easier, are more than welcome. You can find all information on https://them.es/plugins/calendas and in our Github profile https://github.com/them-es.
* The plugin has been uploaded to the WordPress plugin directory, so please make sure you follow the [WordPress Coding Standards](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards "WordPress Coding Standards") and document your code accordingly.
* Please understand that we are strong advocates of the [KISS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle "KISS") principle, meaning that our main goal is to keep everything as simple as possible. This means that not all sophisticated pull requests can be considered for inclusion. Sometimes it's better to just create an add-on plugin or similar.

* Migration of Events, Organizers and Venues from "The Events Calendar".
* Recurring Events.
