Wordpress: Calendar Widget displaying posts by custom field (date) - wordpress

I created a website build around a custom post type events. These events have custom fields, one of them is the event-date (the date the event is happening, NOT post publish date). I'd like a calendar widget that simply highlights the days an event is happening (maybe with a link to it). This means i need to plug my custom fields into a calendar widget plugin.
I found this post from 2 years ago, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-posts-in-a-calendar-using-custom-field-as-date?replies=8 - it seems they wanted exactly what i'm asking for. Unfortunately i couldn't figure out how to do it with the plugin mentioned by them (FT calendar).
Most calendar widget plugins simply use the pust-publish date. I need them to take their date-data from a custom field.
Do you guys have an idea which calendar-widget-plugin/way would be best for me?

After I've made a search and test of some of the event calendar plugins, calendar that would be closest to your need is All-in-One Event Calendar. After installing it is necessary to upgrade to the Standard version. The plugin has far too many options than it is needed, but is highly configurable so it can be configured to work roughly what you need.
Here is also the link with the analysis of different Wordpress event calendar plugins.

Wordpress post view format for filter grid

I am a complete newb to wordpress. I am trying to help a friend out. She asked me to help her move her wordpress instance to another hosting provider.
I have done that for the most part. My issue is the original provider implemented a not-so-obvious way of an isotope filter on some UI elements.
Specifically the object is a company. Each company has a logo, the name of the company, a short description and a contact name / email.
These companies service states / areas and the idea behind the page is to select the state and only the companies for that state are visible.
From the brief searching I have done - there seems to be an overwhelming amount of plugins to support this.
I have tried creating a simple post with a featured image and adding in the text in the excerpt.
My problem is the links. I don't want the links to go back to the post - rather I want the links to go to a custom URL.
Is there a plugin that will allow me to define a custom post type (to include categories) and then filter on it similar to Isotope type of filtering?
There are many free plugins but if you are using the Elementor page builder. I am not advertising my product but as I saw your requirement matches a plugin that I am selling in the market.
The frontend filtering feature is not yet available to the released version but will be released soon. It basically allows you to build a custom grid as you like.
Is it something similar?

You have to create a custom post, there should be a custom field(custom URL) as well.
Or, You may create a WordPress query. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/
also, coding will be required for filtering

Roots Theme: How to Remove Sidebar on Tribes Calendar?

I am using the Tribes calendar Tribest Events Calendar and I want the sidebar from my site to be removed. I have gone through this post, but it doesnt work: http://discourse.roots.io/t/roots-and-modern-tribes-events-calendar/603
I have created the duplicate default-template.php but nothing happens.
I was having the same issue with woocommerce until I added "'is_woocommerce'," to the lib/config.php file and it removed it for woocommerce. Is there the same hack that I can use for the Tribes calendar. I just dont know what to script in: "'is_tribes' (???)," I hope someone can help smile
Thanks for any feedback that you can give me.
The plugin provides conditional template tags (a.k.a. functions) in the format tribe_is_*().
E.g. conditionals for calendar pages: tribe_is_upcoming(), tribe_is_month(), and tribe_is_day() (I believe there are other views in the Pro version of The Events Calendar plugin.)
To remove the sidebar from calendar pages in the Roots-based theme, you would pass "tribe_is_upcoming", "tribe_is_month", and "tribe_is_day" to the instantiation of the the Roots_Sidebar class in lib/config.php. To also remove it from single event pages, pass "tribe_is_event".

How can I sort by a custom field date in the WordPress calendar widget?

I'm using "Advanced Custom Fields" along with "Custom Post Type UI" to create events on my Wordpress site. Everything works fine and the templates are in place however I can't get the posts to display properly in the Wordpress calendar widget.
At the moment the posts are filtered by publishing date. However, for my purposes, I need them shown by the date of the event itself – not the day I created the post. I've already got a custom field called "event_date" that's stored in yymmdd format. With that said, is there a way to overwrite the default behavior of the calendar widget to sort by this field?
If not is there a plugin that might help me accomplish this?
You could try this add-on for the Advanced Custom Fields WordPress plugin:

Potential of Drupal 7 Calendar Module

I'm wanting to use the Drupal 7 Calendar Module to create a daily view of bookings for 4 different rooms.
I've never used the module before and I'm struggling to find any good tutorials or videos which do not need a subscription.
Can anyone who has used this tell me if this is possible?
I would have a booking node which is assigned with a taxonomy term. The booking would then show on the correct row, depending on which room it is in. Additional node fields would need to be shown when clicking the booking, and ideally contain a link to edit the booking. Does the module have the capacity to do this?
Calendar should be able to do this. It won't handle all of the details of "booking" like available or not available, conflicts, etc. You may need to override the calendar cell themeing to display things how you want depending on the desired complexity. The "fields" display style should get you close. You can use the "calendar popup" module (part of calendar) to customize the details when you click the booking.
Since you'll likely be using a date field in your booking content type, be sure and update default calendar views to use this field instead of the node's built in date.
Also, make sure you have time zone handling set up BEFORE you set up your calendar views and start entering data. See: http://drupal.org/node/1455578

Wordpress integrate plugin with cimy user extra field plugin

I am currently using cimy user extra field plugin for multi step registration. How can I integrate date picker plugin, facebook like plugin with the plugin that I am currently using.
I have added multiple fields in my registration form. Is it possible to break the form page in multi step pages and a progressbar to show the user that the registration is going from step 1 to step 2 and so on. Download link of cimy user extra field plugin is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/
Thanks in advance.
To potentially answer your date field question, I would recommend attaching a date picker via jQuery UI, which I think you can so fairly easily via a little JS on the register page. Sounds like you may have to do a little coding there anyway. If you need assistance on getting all that set up, try Google and then come back with anything you can't find or figure out.
