WordPress Integration

ScheduleMaker Pro is a WordPress plugin that adds a full events calendar system to a site, aimed at membership organisations, associations, clubs, and businesses that need a member-facing schedule of events. On the front end it offers a chronological list view (grouped by month) and a month grid view, with a search bar that filters by title, description, or category, and a modal window that shows full event details plus an email-share option. By default the public calendar requires login, though this can be switched to fully public in settings. On the admin side, each event is created through an Event Editor with tabs for core details (title, date, start/finish time in 15-minute increments, event type, online-meeting fields, rich-text description, primary and optional secondary venue, external link, categories, featured image) and for recurrence ('Repeats' tab, including a 'Cancel Event' toggle that displays a red 'Cancelled' badge on the public calendar, and an 'Extend Series' panel for adding more occurrences to an existing recurring series). Venues are stored in a reusable library so the same location can be reused across events, and each event can show a primary and secondary venue (the listing specifically calls out a secondary venue for 'wake location' use in funeral events) with their own map-directions links. Events can be marked private (hidden from the public calendar) or duplicated from the admin list. Site owners can configure an accent colour, an organisation name used in emails, default images per event category, and whether the calendar is public or restricted to WordPress Subscribers, and it is stated to be compatible with third-party membership plugins. ScheduleMaker Pro is one of a small suite of plugins from the same seller (ObitMaker Pro and NewsletterMaker Pro); when installed alongside ObitMaker Pro, the two connect automatically so a 'Send to ScheduleMaker Pro' panel appears on obituary edit screens, letting funeral events be created directly from obituary records. The seller offers a bundle discount ('save £40') for buying ScheduleMaker Pro and ObitMaker Pro together, confirming it is a standalone paid product.

Key Features

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Deep, purpose-built integration with the vendor's ObitMaker Pro plugin for auto-creating funeral calendar events from obituary records
  • Full-featured public calendar with both list and month views plus title/description search and category filtering
  • Reusable venue library supporting a primary and optional secondary venue (e.g. a wake location) with directions links
  • Flexible recurring-event handling, including extending an existing series and a distinct cancelled-event state with a public badge
  • Granular visibility controls (public, WordPress Subscribers-only, or per-event private) compatible with third-party membership plugins

Cons

  • WordPress-only — requires a WordPress site and is not usable as a standalone or cross-platform calendar app
  • No pricing, refund policy, or version/changelog information is visible in the crawled listing, making it hard to evaluate cost or maturity upfront
  • Feature set leans niche (venue library with a 'wake location' field, funeral-event integration), which may be less relevant for buyers with no ObitMaker Pro / funeral-industry use case
  • No evidence of customer reviews, support channels, or company background on the listing to build buyer confidence
