Full Calendar View FAQ
How do I add the Full Calendar View to a page?
Go to M.E. Calendar > Shortcodes, add a new shortcode, choose Full Calendar View as the skin, set the options above and publish it. Then copy the generated shortcode (for example [MEC id="123"]) into any page, post or widget.
How do I show only some events?
Open the Filter Options of the same shortcode and limit events by category, location, organizer, label, tag or author. See Making Advanced Shortcodes for every filter.
Can I hide some tabs of the Full Calendar?
Yes. Turn off any of the List, Grid, Tile, Yearly, Monthly, Weekly or Daily options and that tab disappears. Use Default View to choose which tab opens first.
Hi. I have allocated events to different categories. On this full calendar mode is there a way for the different catergories to be colour coded? So on one day you can see there is a variety of events from different categories. It’s hard to distinguish the different categories when they are all the same colour. Thanks
Hello,
Unfortunately, currently, this is not possible, but you can change the event color.
I will forward your comment to the developer team and they will process that. If it is possible they will add this feature in future plugin updates.
Please note, if you need an option that is not included in the MEC, you need to manipulate and it is referred to as customization.
In order to use Webnus Customization Services for its products, please submit your request via the following link:
After your request is submitted, the developer team will get in touch with you.

Is it possible to include additional views to the full calendar, such as Grid or Tile view?
Hello,
Unfortunately, currently, this is not possible,
I will forward your ticket to the developer team and they will process that. If it is possible they will add this feature in the next plugin updates.

VERY FRUSTRATED ?
Hi,
Please check the user role, you should have the least role: editor
Why the search and filter bar will become like this? How to fix it?
Can you change list view style under the full calendar option to be Toggle Style?
