The Calendar Widget block is a simple, easy-to-use widget that displays links to your posts by date.

It does not let you create a calendar of events or anything similar. You would need to use an Events calendar plugin for that.

By default, it shows this month’s days and links to the posts published on various days. You can place it anywhere on your post and with “alignment” button in the toolbar you can display it to the right or left of your other content on the post of page.

Three steps to add the calendar widget to your post or page

1. Create a new line in your post
2. Use the “Slash” Command to find the Calendar Widget in your inserter
   
3. Press the “Enter” key.

Detailed instructions on adding blocks can be found here.

You can transform a Calendar block to a Group. This would give you the ability to change the background color around the block.

Change Alignment

“Wide width” and “Full width” alignment need to be enabled by the Theme of your site.
