Adding a Calendar

Insert a calendar of your events by month, week or day.

Use this tutorial to add a full calendar to a page. If you’d like to add a simple list instead of a monthly grid, follow the tutorial for adding a list of events to a page.

There are controls at the top of the calendar that allow site visitors to change the view according to their preference, i.e. from month to week, day or agenda. Note: these controls are not visible from the dashboard.

Inserting the events calendar

  1. Click the Add block icon (it looks like an encircled plus sign) to insert the Events Calendar block on the page.

If you don’t see the Events Calendar block, your site is likely using a different Events tool. Contact sites@wustl.edu for assistance.

  1. To limit the calendar’s events to one category, select the corresponding category from the Category dropdown under Calendar Settings.
    • By default, events from all categories will populate on the calendar you’re inserting.
  2. Adjust other displays as needed under Calendar Settings from their respective dropdowns:
    • Time
    • Day of the week
    • Month name
    • Day format
    • Date format: By default, this is set to DD/MM; choose a U.S. format from the dropdown menu to prevent confusion.
