Axiom Vendor Calendar

The Axiom Vendor Calendar plugin provides a seamless way for vendors participating in events managed by Axiom Event Systems to display their approved, upcoming event schedule on their own WordPress websites.

By pasting a single, secure API key generated from your Axiom Vendor Portal into the plugin settings, your website will automatically sync with your live event data. The plugin safely caches this data and respects API rate limits to ensure optimal performance.

Features

• Plug-and-Play Setup: Just paste your Base64URL API key and the plugin handles the rest.

• Multiple Layouts: Choose from a wide range of layouts to match your theme.

• Automatic Syncing: Event data is cached and automatically refreshed every 12 hours.

• Graceful Fallbacks: Handles API rate limits safely by serving cached data.

• Zero Coding Required: Drop a simple shortcode into any page or post.

• Shortcode Builder + Live Preview: Generate a shortcode from the settings page and preview it instantly before embedding.

• Smarter Builder Controls: The shortcode builder hides irrelevant options based on the selected layout.
