Integration

After installing and activating the plugin we can integrate the plugin using WordPress Shortcodes.

The basic WordPress Shortcode to use is [CultBooking]

Inserting the [CultBooking] Shortcode anywhere in posts or pages will embed the CultBooking calendar.

Parameters

There are four parameters to customize the appearance of the calendar: View, Calendar, Top and Height.
