If you’re a Divi user who needs to display events and calendars on your website, you might be wondering which calendar solution is best for you. While there are many options available, my personal recommendation is to go for The Events Calendar plugin and the Divi Events Calendar combo.
Divi Events Calendar
The Events Calendar
The Events Calendar plugin is a well-established and widely-used plugin for WordPress. It offers a range of extensions, including the ability to sell tickets. The advantage is that there is also a free version available for those with more basic needs. The plugin is highly customizable, and it is easy to display events in a variety of ways on your website. However, some users might find the styling options limiting, especially if they’re not familiar with CSS.
Luckily, for users using the Divi Theme, Nelson Miller from Pee Aye Creative, who I’ve been working with and who left me a great review, developed the Divi Events Calendar.
Divi Events Calendar
This additional plugin connects The Events Calendar plugin with Divi. It adds several new modules to the Divi Builder, including Events Feed, Events Calendar, and Events Filter, making it easy to display events in a variety of ways. The biggest advantage of the Divi Events Calendar is that Divi users can style everything using the Divi Builder, without needing to write custom CSS.
According to the author, there are almost 500 settings in the plugin so you can optimize the look of your events in any possible way.

Where to Get Divi Events Calendar
If you’re interested in using the Divi Events Calendar on your website, there are a couple of ways to get it. One way is to grab it from the official Elegant Themes marketplace. However, I recommend buying the extension directly from the creator’s website, as this will support the creator more directly. The plugin is reasonably priced and since I know Nelson and worked with his plugins before, I know what I recommend.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if you’re a Divi user in need of a calendar solution, The Events Calendar with the Divi Events Calendar plugin is an excellent choice. It allows for a high degree of customization and provides a range of display options. Whether you’re running a business or organizing events for a community group, these plugins will help you to keep your events database up-to-date and your visitors informed.
