    Sugar Calendar is now my go-to calendar due to its simplicity with adding new events. I’ve found that it was so much easier for my clients to use than some of the other event/calendar plugins out there while providing the features they needed most.
  • Stars
    Sugar calendar is an overall great plugin that’s easy to use, looks clean and was so easy to implement. Im so used to programs having a steep learning curve before I can truly use the program to its fullest potential, this is not the case for Sugar Calendar!

    Sugar Calendar does all that I need. I have never had a problem with it, and support has been responsive when I had questions. It’s easy to install, simple to configure. It looks great on my WordPress theme.

    Sugar Calendar is intuitive, and very user friendly. I love that the learning curve to use the calendar is so low. Even my non-tech clients can get their heads around it.

    Overall I’ve found sugar calendar to be a robust plugin that’s well maintained and offers everything you would need for a Wordpress plugin like this. It’s extremely user friendly and the simplicity of creating events, adding details, and more make this an amazing plugin.

    This is an incredibly solid plugin to use as a base. I’ve tried several others, and this one is better than all the others I’ve tried!

    Huge fan! Love the simple nature of this plugin. Perfect for a site that just needs a basic calendar with none of the bloat that comes along with The Events Calendar.

  • Stars
    I was just looking for a simple calendar to display a short events list inside a sidebar and a calendar on a single page. This plugin accomplishes this exactly as expected and, unlike the other many calendar plugins, this one provides two blocks which include the events list and also the calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have a question about Sugar Calendar recurring events? See the list below for our most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed here, then please contact us.

What recurring patterns can I create?

Sugar Calendar supports daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly recurring events. You can also create complex custom patterns like ‘every first Monday of the month,’ ‘every other Thursday,’ or ‘every weekday.’ Set events to repeat indefinitely or stop after a specific date or number of occurrences.

Can I edit one occurrence without changing the whole series?

Yes! You can edit individual occurrences to change the time, location, or any details for that specific date without affecting other events in the series. This is perfect for handling holidays, special circumstances, or one-time changes.

Can I sell tickets for recurring events?

Absolutely. When you enable event ticketing on a recurring event, you can choose to sell tickets for each occurrence separately. Each date in the series gets its own capacity limit and ticket sales tracking, perfect for ongoing classes or workshop series.

What happens if I update a recurring event?

When you edit a recurring event, you can choose to update all future occurrences or just the current one. This gives you flexibility to make changes to your entire series at once or handle individual dates differently.

Can I delete one occurrence from a series?

Yes, you can delete individual occurrences without affecting the rest of your recurring series. This is useful for canceling one date due to holidays or scheduling conflicts while keeping the rest of your events intact.

Is there a limit to how many recurring events I can create?

No, there’s no limit to the number of recurring events you can create. You can set up as many recurring series as you need to manage all your repeating events.

Do recurring events work with calendar feeds?

Yes, recurring events are included in your iCal and ICS calendar feeds. When users subscribe to your calendar, they’ll see all future occurrences automatically update in their personal calendar apps like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
