Nuage Business Calendar
Nuage Business Calendar
Description
Nuage Business Calendar is a lightweight, clean, and easy-to-use business calendar plugin developed by Nuage Creative. It allows you to display a simple calendar on your website and mark specific days (such as regular holidays, business events, or special days) with elegant colored circles.
No complex booking systems, no heavy CSS—just a beautiful, minimalist calendar.
🌟 Key Features
- Simple Click-to-Mark Interface: Just click on a date in the admin panel to toggle a circle.
- Customizable Styles: Create up to 10 different circle styles with your own labels (e.g., Red for “Holidays”, Blue for “Events”) and custom colors.
- National Holiday Import: Instantly import public holidays for specific countries (Japan, US, UK, France, Canada, etc.) via JSON files.
- Flexible Shortcode: Easily display the calendar anywhere using the
[nbcal_calendar]shortcode. You can also add a custom title like[nbcal_calendar title="Business Day Calendar"]. - One-Click Shortcode Copy: The admin settings page includes a ready-to-use shortcode box — enter an optional title and copy the finished shortcode with a single click.
- Today Highlight: Mark the current day automatically with an Outer Ring or Underline marker, based on your WordPress timezone setting.
- Clickable Date Links: Turn any circle style into a link (a Default URL for every date it marks), or override the destination for one specific date. Choose whether links open in the same tab, a new tab, or a new tab only for external sites.
- Smart Navigation Limits: Prevent users from clicking too far into the past or future by setting navigation limits (e.g., allow navigating only 3 months ahead).
- Legend Toggle: Choose whether to show or hide the legend below the calendar. Even if hidden, hover tooltips will show the label name!
- Multilingual Ready: Fully internationalized. English, Japanese, and French translations are supported.
Installation
- Upload the
nuage-business-calendarfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install it via the WordPress plugin directory. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
- Go to Settings > Nuage Business Calendar to create your circle styles and mark your dates.
- Use the shortcode
[nbcal_calendar]on any page, post, or widget to display the calendar.

You can use the title attribute in the shortcode. For example:
[nbcal_calendar title=”Store Schedule”]
Go to Settings > Nuage Business Calendar. At the top of the page you’ll find a Shortcode box — optionally enter a calendar title, then click “Copy” to copy the ready-to-use shortcode to your clipboard.
Go to Settings > Nuage Business Calendar > Display Settings, and set “Today Marker” to “Outer Ring” or “Underline”.
On the settings page, switch to Link Mode above the calendar editor. Click any date that already has a circle mark to select it, then enter a URL and click “Apply Link” — this overrides the link for that date only. To link every date under a given circle style at once, set a “Default URL” on that style instead, under Circle Design & Legend Labels.
Yes. Go to Settings > Nuage Business Calendar > Display Settings, and set “Link Target” to “Same Tab”, “New Tab”, or “New Tab for External Links Only”.
You can easily add your own holidays! Just create a JSON file named holidays-[country-code]-[year].json (e.g., holidays-de-2026.json for Germany 2026) and upload it to the plugin’s /data/ directory via FTP. It will automatically appear in the import dropdown. The file should contain a _region_name key and date entries in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Yes. Go to Settings > Nuage Business Calendar > Display Settings, and set “Show Legend” to “No”. Users can still see the label name by hovering over the colored circle on the calendar.
