Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from website administrators, venue managers, and organizations embedding the ZoopCalendar widget.
Is ZoopCalendar a WordPress plugin?
It is a website widget/embed that can be used on WordPress and many other platforms. Most sites can add it with a code block or template snippet.
Does ZoopCalendar help me get more traffic?
ZoopCalendar is designed to improve your onsite SEO by adding a fresh flow of rich structured data. This helps search engines indentify and display your pages in search results.
Where do I manage the actual calendar and events?
Calendar and event management happens on PlanetZoop.com. ZoopCalendar.com provides docs, examples, and setup guidance for the widget on your website.
Can I show only my organization’s events?
Yes. Calendars can be configured to show only your calendar, broader local Zoop events, or wider sources depending on your goals.
Do I need a developer?
Not usually. Many site admins can install the widget themselves if they can edit page content or paste HTML snippets. If you can add a photo or a paragraph to your website, you should be able to add ZoopCalendar no problem.
Will the calendar update automatically?
Yes, the embedded widget pulls current data from the linked ZoopEvents calendar, so your website updates as events are added or changed.
Can I style the widget to match my site?
The widget has built-in display options and inherits the colors, fonts and layout of your website. Custom style guide is coming soon!
Does ZoopCalendar use AI?
The creators of ZoopCalendar are artists and musicians and we do not use generative AI to create art. We use some AI if traditional Optical Character Recognition (OCR) can't read the stylized text on a flyer. We may also use AI to summarize a performer if we can't find a decent summary on their official site. (eg: "Motörhead was an influential English rock band formed in 1975, renowned for pioneering the fusion of heavy metal and punk" )
