I tried searching for this before but it was all event-calendar-related. What I want to know is if there is a WordPress feature or a module that will show a calendar in the sidebar for entries (I see modules for events but I want it to be entry-related, unless that's what it is? I was under the impression that it was a side thing for events you create yourself (and not for your entries)).
Is there a sidebar calendar for entries (and not events)? (9 posts)

I use Live Calendar:

It comes with WP by default. Just add this to your sidebar:

Posted 5 years ago #Yeah, I just saw that too (the get_calendar one) after I posted. I feel silly! I always find the answer to my problem after I post about it, go figure. Thank you both.

Posted 5 years ago #I'm not seeing anything for displaying by year, though (my blog goes back a couple of years). I take it I'd have to install a module then for a slightly more advanced calendar?
And what I mean by year is if I want to select year so that months of that year get displayed, to make it easier to search.

Posted 5 years ago #That's specifically for archives rather than calendar. I don't want anything to change on the page but the calendar. Like a dropdown box for year that I can select and change to 2004, and then the numbers would change slightly for that month (because it'd be the month stated but for 2004). I see this feature in LiveCalendar (on their site), but I didn't know if WordPress's calendar had a built-in feature for that (although I don't see it on their get_calendar page.

With the default calendar you only can navigate back and forth by months.

Posted 5 years ago #LiveCalendar it is, then. I went ahead and installed the plugin, then activated it. So far so good, looks nice and seems functional. Thank you for your help.
