Recommendation for a WordPress Calendar Plugin with Recurring Events?

I’m building a base WordPress theme that will cater mainly to an events calendar plugin (yet to be decided.) I’m curious what WordPress users consider to be the best solution in terms of stability and usability?

  1. You may wish to consider Event Organiser as well (disclaimer: I’m the developer). It’s completely free, supports reoccurring events and shortcodes & widgets for displaying them in lists and calendars.

    (I realise this is an old question, but it may be useful to others)

  2. I don’t have specific experience with a calendar plugin yet but there was a hugely useful discussion on LinkedIn in the WordPress Group about calendar/event plugins with many people offering many suggestions.

    I’d highly recommend you join the group on LinkedIn if you are not already a member (it’s free to join it) so you can check out that thread:

    There is also the EventPress plugin developed this year as part of Google Summer of Code; expect that it will get a lot of support from the core community because of its origin:

  3. Some time ago I was trying to find a suitable plugin as well, but ended up using Google Calendar with some integration to WordPress. You can have the calendar embedded on the page, or list events with an RSS feed or via iCal files/URLs.

    Not always a viable alternative, but might get your problem solved.
