Is it possible to add a synced calendar to my WordPress site?

Last updated July 27, 2026

Yes - AddEvent makes it straightforward to add a synced calendar to WordPress with no coding required.

What a synced calendar means

A synced calendar (subscription calendar) is a live feed that users subscribe to once. When you add or update events in AddEvent, those changes automatically appear in subscribers' personal calendar apps - Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook - without any action from them.

How to add it to WordPress

Option 1: AddEvent WordPress plugin (recommended)

  1. Install the free AddEvent plugin from the WordPress plugin directory (Plugins > Add New > search "AddEvent")
  2. Add the AddEvent Calendar block to any page using the Gutenberg editor
  3. Enter your Calendar ID from your AddEvent dashboard
  4. The calendar widget appears on your page with a Follow Calendar button
Visitors can browse your events on your site AND subscribe to receive all future events automatically in their own calendar app.

Option 2: Custom HTML embed Copy the embeddable calendar widget code from your AddEvent dashboard and paste it into a Custom HTML block on any WordPress page or post. Same result, no plugin dependency.

What the synced calendar widget includes

  • Month, week, or schedule view
  • Your branding and colors
  • Individual Add to Calendar buttons per event
  • A Follow Calendar button so visitors can subscribe to automatic updates
  • Mobile-responsive design
