Version 1.5.2 — Calendar Filtering #

Taxonomy filtering, interactive filter shortcodes, multiple calendars per page, native filter mode, and frontend translation support.

Version 1.5.2 introduces a complete filtering system for the calendar, letting visitors interactively filter events by taxonomy. It supports multiple approaches — inline native filters, standalone shortcodes, or both working together.

Calendar Taxonomy Filtering

Filter which events appear on a calendar by taxonomy terms using the new taxonomy and terms shortcode attributes. For example, [lre_calendar taxonomy="event_category" terms="yoga,pilates"] displays only events in those categories. Supports both term slugs and numeric IDs.

• Multiple taxonomy filtering — Filter by more than one taxonomy at once using the taxonomies attribute with pipe-separated groups, e.g. [lre_calendar taxonomies="event_category:yoga|event_tag:beginner"]. Events must match all specified taxonomy conditions.
• Multiple calendars per page — Display several calendars on the same page, each showing different event categories or types. Combine taxonomy, terms, and post_type attributes for full control over each calendar's content.
• Custom calendar ID — Use the id attribute on [lre_calendar] to assign a stable, human-readable identifier for targeting and styling, e.g. [lre_calendar id="yoga-calendar"].

Interactive Calendar Filter Shortcode

New [lre_calendar_filter] shortcode lets visitors dynamically filter which events appear on a calendar. Supports dropdown, button, and pill display modes. Place it anywhere on the same page as your calendar — filter changes instantly update the calendar without reloading the page.

• Filter targeting — When using multiple calendars, use the target attribute to control which calendar a filter affects, e.g. [lre_calendar_filter target="yoga-cal" taxonomy="event_category"]. With a single calendar, targeting is automatic.
• Filter options — Supports show_counts to display event counts, show_all for an "All" reset option, terms to limit which terms are shown, hide_empty to hide unused terms, and multiple for multi-select dropdowns.

Native Calendar Filter Mode

Add filter="event_category" directly to the [lre_calendar] shortcode to render filter controls inline in the calendar header. Supports pills (default), buttons, and dropdown display modes. No separate shortcode needed — everything is self-contained.

• Coexisting filter modes — Native mode and manual mode can work together on the same calendar. Use native mode for one taxonomy in the header and a separate [lre_calendar_filter] shortcode for a second taxonomy elsewhere on the page.
• Inline loading spinner — Clicking a pill or button filter shows a subtle inline spinner that expands within the button while the calendar grid dims, providing clear visual feedback during event refetching.

Improvements

• Wider settings page — The plugin settings page now uses a wider layout (1400px) for better readability on modern displays.
• Consistent settings layout — All tabs now use the full content width and left-hand label columns are aligned to a uniform 200px across every settings section.
• Calendar filter shortcode styling — The [lre_calendar_filter] shortcode renders with the same polished styling as the Bricks Builder filter elements.
• Frontend JavaScript translation support — Filter labels ("This Week", "Next 7 Days", "Today", etc.), event type labels, Active Filters UI labels, and calendar export strings are now fully translatable through standard .po/.mo files.

Fixes

• Page scrolled to top when clicking calendar filter buttons — The AJAX filtering system was intercepting native filter button clicks via document-level event delegation. Native filter buttons are now excluded from AJAX filter delegation.
• Native filter not visible in Bricks Builder editor — The calendar preview in the Bricks editor now displays native mode filter controls in the header, matching the frontend appearance.
• Bricks editor calendar preview used outdated event styling — Events in the editor preview now render with the current frontend layout: left border accent with time above title, recurring event icons, and per-event category colours.
• Calendar shortcode reference showed a non-functional category attribute — Replaced with the correct taxonomy and terms syntax, plus new examples for multiple taxonomy filtering, custom calendar IDs, and the filter shortcode.
