😅 thems some strong words. It’s easy to criticize but the simple fact is they are really complex tools and take time/iteration and sometimes there’s limiting factors (eg the sdk being used).

My calendar allows for programmatic day changing.

You seem to find a lot of things infuriating.

I’ve tried 12 plugins, 2 have been infuriating. Yep.

I never post unnecessary or snidey comments to an individual (as you do) but I do share my true thoughts on ‘paid for’ plugins which cause me issues _after_ requesting help from the developer.

Have you tried _my_ plugin? I do upgrade, as I can, the paid version still 🤷‍♂️

No. I did see it in the plugin library but I have decided to revert to the Full Calendar and see if I can work around it’s limitations.

UPDATE: I’ve just reinstalled the free Bubble Full Calendar (after testing other paid options) and it seems to have been upgraded, either that or my previous installation had a bug? In any case, it’s great. Drag and drop now available and the whole thing just looks much cleaner. I need to dynamically switch between day and month views but I think I know how I can do this so that’s a result!

@darren.james7518 revisiting an old thread but having the same issue now, did you figure out how to programmatically change the calendar date with the Full Calendar plugin?

Hi, my partner programmer sorted it out, I had a look and I’ve attached the screenshot of what I think is doing the switch on dates. I am unsure how it works but the following does work!
