Supported features

Add Outlook or Exchange Calendar to WordPress

With the help of WPO365 you can configure an client-side JavaScript app that will show events from a specific Exchange Online Calendar in WordPress. All you need to do is to generate a WordPress shortcode using the shortcode generator and add the shortcode to a page. This will result in a list showing events from a specific source, optionally grouped – for example by week or month. Multi-day events are easily identifiable by a dedicated icon, as shown in the first screenshot of this article.

View event details

Each event in the list is clickable and opens a dialog displaying details such as title, start and end time, location, description, and a link to join an online meeting, as shown in the first screenshot on this page.

Calendar source

Select one of the following options as the source for the embedded calendar:

Logged-in user Each SSO user will see their own calendar.
Shared Calendar Each SSO user can view events from a shared calendar, as long as that calendar is shared with them.
Specific User Each SSO user can view events from a specific user’s default calendar, as long as the user has been granted delegated access to it.
Specific Group Each SSO user can view events from a specific Microsoft 365 Group’s calendar, as long as the user is a member of that group.

Customize calendar grouping

You can change the Calendar grouping. By default, calendar events are grouped by month. The alternative options are By day, By week and By year.

Customize date range

You can change the date range for which events will be fetched. By default, calendar events for the current year between Jan. 1st and Dec. 31st will be fetched. The alternative options are Today, This week, This month, This year and Custom. When you select Custom, you can enter your own start and end date. As start date, you can also check Today to ensure that events that occurred in the past are not shown.

Customize columns

You can edit the columns that the app should display and you can connect each column to a property of an event. Also, you can configure how the column is rendered and also define custom CSS rules to optimize the user experience.

Translations

You can supply custom labels in your own language for the strings used in the app e.g. “There are no events to show”.

Test configuration

Before you add your shortcode to a page, you can test it and verify that you have entered a valid configuration.
