YARD via WordPress Plugin
Integrating and using the YARD Plugin is free of charge. Here are the steps to get up and running:
- Create a calendar (which is free). Afterwards, click "manage calendar" and copy your authorization code ("authcode") for later use.
- After your integration request is accepted, download the YARD Plugin. You need a valid authorization code to run it.
- After you downloaded the plugin (see step 2), upload it to WordPress and activate it.
How to Use
Three simply steps to make the calendar visible on your website:
- Once you have received the plugin file "yard-plugin.zip", open the "Plugins" section and click "Add New Plugin."
- After installing the YARD Plugin, open the "Plugins" section and click "Activate" to enable the plugin. Everything is now ready.
- Open a text editor or shortcode widget and add
[yard_plugin authcode="your_auth_code" tags="blockchain" city="Berlin"]. Replaceyour_auth_codewith your own code.
That's it: The page will now contain the desired YARD Pulse. If you're updating the YARD Plugin to a newer version, just upload it and overwrite the existing installation. Everything will work out of the box.
Plugin Configuration
Optional shortcode settings let you control the calendar display. Configure event topics and tags, locations, languages, formats, distribution, width, display mode, the event modal, headline and results per page.
