The signature moment
Every event is a calendar leaf
Each tile is a calendar leaf: an inverted month strip with the weekday at its far end, then the day of the month as the largest thing on the tile. The tiles are a grid of 15rem minimum columns, four across on a laptop, two on a tablet and one on a phone; each is a vertical flex card whose middle grows, so the book links sit level on one line however long a title runs.

Overview
Upcoming events as leaves torn from a wall calendar: a month strip, the day as a big numeral, the event, its time and price, and a book link on a rule at the foot. It sits in the listings section beside listing-cards, where a number is bigger than a name: here the number is the date, and the tile is a calendar page.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
- Typeface. The base states no font family.
- Palette. Tiles try
role-plateandrole-plate-textwith arole-rulehairline; the month strip is yourcontrastwithbaselabels; the numerals, titles and links inherit the tile's text colour. - Links. Transparent, underlined core buttons.
What it decides for itself
- The numeral. Off the ladder on purpose:

The Crumb look
Part of the Crumb Pattern Set, one café's whole site in one design language: oat ground #f4ecdf, espresso ink #2b1d16, muted cocoa #5c4a3f, milk cards #fbf7f0 on oat hairlines #dccfbf, terracotta #b3462d labels and peach #e8a27c on the espresso slab. Headings are Georgia at 400, body, labels and buttons Helvetica; buttons are espresso pills or underlined links, cards and photographs rounded at 14px. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip.
Notes
- Core blocks only: group, heading, paragraph, buttons, button. No plugin, nothing to keep updated.
- The root group sets headings and links to
currentColor, so every heading, paragraph and link inherits the group's text colour in any theme; only role-bearing text (labels, rules, plates) carries its own chain.
Questions
Events date tiles: common questions
Does Events date tiles need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Events date tiles match my theme?
Choose by variation. Calendar leaves takes your theme’s palette; Crumb brings its own colours.
How many variations does Events date tiles have?
2: Calendar leaves and Crumb. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is Events date tiles free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 56 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
