Greetings! I love your calendar and was JUST about to buy it, but after testing it, I was sad to see that I could not incorporate the calendar into an attractive layout. In fact, it hijacked my menu and put your calendar in place of my existing events page, so I had to disable the plugin.
Just as soon as you offer full functionality, so that we can insert this calendar into a working page, we will purchase it. Until then, we are a little sad we will have to continue with another product.
Thanks in advance, and please let us know!

Howdy Josh,
That’s a great question. One I recently asked my manager again since he is in charge of our roadmap. The short answer is: We’re currently building that feature, but it’s going to take a while to finish and polish off to make sure it has no bugs.
The long answer is: I can not give you a date. Unless we are 100% certain something will be ready for the release we are building right now then we make no guarantees on when a feature will be included in the plugin. If you have worked much in the software development world you will find that not having public release dates is common. This is because in software development every single “problem” is a new and unique problem (otherwise we would just copy/paste old code that solves it) and since every problem is unique, until you finally finish writing the last line of code and thus solve it you can only guess as to how long it will take.
Our shortcodes are not ready for our next 3.10 release. To be up front, it is quite possible they will not be ready for 3.11 either. To make the plugin embeddable via the shortcode is a huge undertaking that requires changing many many things, and in some ways makes our code a lot more complicated. It’s a pain, which is why we did not build it out to begin with. Complicated code increases the likliehood of bugs. But, our users have spoken and we have decided to change course. It will just take a little longer to get there and make sure it is thoroughly tested.
Does that all make sense? Probably not the answer you wanted, but I hope the extra detail helps you not walk away unsatisfied. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers!
