FAQ
-
Hey! Why don’t you have any Frequently Asked Questions here!
-
Because the majority of users end up on my web site asking for help anyway — and it’s simply more work to maintain two copies. Please visit my web site FAQ to read my Frequently Asked Questions!
-
This plug-in is complicated. Why won’t you help me figure out how to use it?
-
I will! But not in person. Take a look at my documentation website for My Calendar or buy the User’s Guide before making your request, and consider making a donation!
-
Can my visitors or members submit events?
-
I’ve written a premium plug-in that adds this feature: My Calendar Pro. Buy it today!
-
Is there an advanced search feature?
-
The search feature in My Calendar is pretty basic; but buying My Calendar Pro gives you a richer search feature, where you can narrow by dates, categories, authors, and more to refine your event search.
