Hello, does anyone know if there's a way of making a calendar view default to a different month other than the current one? So mine is obviously defaulting to July at the moment when the page loads, but I'd like it to appear as August 2020 as that's when all the relevant events will be.

I don't have an answer, but I'm also looking for a way to do this. Did you ever find a solution? Maybe tuanphan has a CSS solution that would work?

Please post the URL for a page on your site where we can see your issue.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site. Please read the documentation at the link provided to understand how it works.

Please read the documentation at the link provided on how to share a link to your site to understand how it works. A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

We can then take a look at your issue.

SS hardwired the start date to be the current date. I don't see a clean way to work around this issue.

Perhaps other do.

A bit of a hack but you can programmatically click the month to "jump to" the month you need it. You can then attach this script to the page under the advanced section. 

 

<script>
  setTimeout(() => {
    const gotToNextMonthButtonEl = document.querySelector('a[role=button][aria-label="Go to next month"]');

    for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
      const headerLabelEl = document.querySelector('[class*="calendar-header-label"]');
      if (headerLabelEl.textContent === 'April 2024') break;
      gotToNextMonthButtonEl.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent('click'));
    }
  }, 500);
</script>

this was very useful, it works. But, I need a little more complicated thing. I want to see five months togheter one next to the other, from august to december. What would it be that script? Thanks!

I tried the above code and it didn't work. We are in August 2023, but need to jump to January 2024 as the first calendar shown. Any work around? 

Squarespace should've added this feature, since we all want to promote future events that would typically not be in the current month.
