Events calendar plugins

  • Dear all
    For our fairly hefty events calendar we still use the Time.ly calendar plugin, despite the price having rocketed and the calendar itself having morphed into a remote database, rather than residing on our own server.
    I’m hoping that I can get some recommendations from you knowledgeable people as to a viable replacement that will show all the details we’re used to for each event (see the page) in a good-looking way but might perhaps be as easy or easier to use and reside either with us or in the UK/Europe rather than in Philadelphia. The Time.ly calendar will export an ICS file, so any calendars out there that can deal with this will go to the top of the list, as there are already 450+ events in there.
    All help welcomed as always.

    Thanks Ron. Yes, that’s what I asked, but ‘I’m hoping that I can get some recommendations from you knowledgeable people’ – I was hoping people could tell me what they’ve used and if they were good/bad/indifferent ??

    @giddykipper try installing this plugins on a test website, just to see how they feel for you. You are the best knowledgeable, as you will trust yourself what plugin is the best for your needs.
