For added organization, use Folders to categorize and filter your resources for display.

Feature Fixes
Calendar+ Display Issue with Year-Spanning Events
The Calendar+ Widget has been updated to address an issue with events spanning from one year to the next. Previously, events that crossed the year-end, such as those running from December 24th to January 2nd, would incorrectly display as ending a day early on January 1st. This update ensures that such events now render accurately. The update has been automatically applied to all published sites and widgets. If you still encounter this issue, please access the editor, select the Calendar+ widget, and click Update Widget if prompted. For further assistance, you can also contact support at [email protected] for further assistance.
Calendar+ Display Issue on a Single Day with Multiple Events
The Calendar+ Widget has been updated to address issues with single days that have a large number of events in the monthly calendar view. Previously, days with many events, such as 12 events on a single day, would cause the calendar view to become "cut-off," preventing users from seeing the end of the month. The update introduces a new setting under General Configuration called # of Events on a Day (Calendar View). This setting allows you to choose between 1 and 5 events to display per day, with additional events hidden under a +# More link and pop-up. For instance, if a day has 5 events, only 2 will be shown, with a clickable +2 more option to view the rest. This update has been automatically applied to all published sites and widgets. If you still encounter this issue, please access the editor, select the Calendar+ widget, and click Update Widget if prompted. For further assistance, you can also contact support at [email protected] for further assistance.
