تقویم فارسی – Persian Calendar

What It Does

تقویم فارسی (Persian Calendar) converts all WordPress date displays from the Gregorian system to the Jalali (Shamsi) calendar, replacing Western numerals with Persian digits across the front end and admin. It also includes Gutenberg block support so editors can insert Jalali dates directly inside the block editor. The plugin targets Farsi-speaking site owners who need their dates rendered in a culturally familiar format.

Who It's For

This plugin is built for Persian-language WordPress sites run by Iranian, Afghan, or Tajik audiences where the Jalali calendar and Persian numerals are the expected standard. It fits blogs, news portals, and business sites where date accuracy and cultural presentation matter to readers. Sites needing only a sidebar widget or a single date conversion will get more than they need.

Who Should Skip It

If your audience reads in English, Arabic, or any non-Farsi language, or you only need an events system without converting every displayed date, skip this plugin and look at something like The Events Calendar. It also adds no value on sites that already use a multilingual plugin handling Persian locale formatting.

The Bottom Line

تقویم فارسی is a focused, well-maintained tool that does one job, converting dates to the Jalali calendar with Persian digits, and does it cleanly for its target audience. The 77.28/100 overall score reflects solid maintenance and ratings tempered by a small install base and minimal support history. For Persian-language sites that need native date rendering, it is a sensible, lightweight choice; for everyone else, it is unnecessary.
