Webinars
Give international attendees a time that lands correctly in their calendar.
Festivals and open days
Let visitors save multi-day events with one tap.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Calendar event save compatibility with Elementor

- One event per button; no recurring events or reminders.
- Downloads a file; does not sync calendars.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot calendar event save
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is the button missing?
The title or start is missing, or the end is not after the start. The editor shows which.
Why is the time off by an hour?
Check the event time zone matches the city where the event happens; daylight saving is applied automatically.
Why does the all-day event end a day later in the file?
Calendar files store the day after the last day as the end; calendar apps show the right days.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Phones offer to add the event to the built-in calendar.
Calendar event save plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Which calendars does it work with?
Any calendar that opens .ics files, including Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook.
Is it accessible?
Yes. The link names the event and the file type for screen readers and has a visible focus outline.
Can it include a location and notes?
Yes. Location and description are added to the event.
Does it handle time zones?
Yes. You enter the time in the event's zone and the file stores the exact moment.
