## Description

#### Make Your WordPress Posts Easier to Find

Granite Archive Calendar gives visitors an easy way to browse your published WordPress
posts by date. Simply click a highlighted day on the interactive monthly calendar
to see matching posts displayed directly below the calendar, without leaving the
page.

Designed for WordPress blogs and content websites, Granite Archive Calendar helps
visitors explore existing posts by publication date. It is a post archive calendar,
not an event, appointment, or booking calendar.

   by date.
 * **Highlighted Dates** — Quickly identify days containing posts from your selected
   category.
 * **Posts Displayed Below the Calendar** — Click a date to see all matching post
   titles and links without leaving the page.
 * **Category Selection** — Choose which WordPress post category to display in the
   calendar settings.
 * **Easy Month Navigation** — Move between previous and upcoming months without
   reloading the page.
 * **Simple Shortcode** — Add the calendar to any page or post using `[granarca_free_calendar]`.

#### Want More Flexibility?

**Granite Archive Calendar Pro** adds multiple calendars, interactive category and
author filters, additional calendar themes, and options to display post titles, 
excerpts, or full post content.
