03 / Website use cases
Where to use public post calendar
Blogs and journals that publish on a rhythm want readers to see it: which days had posts and what came out this month. The classic WordPress calendar is a sidebar widget that is hard to style in Elementor and lists nothing on phones. Public post calendar shows a month as a proper table, highlights and links the days with posts, and lists the month's posts underneath so it works on every screen.
News and updates
Browse a month at a glance.
Single post templates
