   *Please note – error in instructions*

   Hi All

   I hope I can save people the many hours I have spent trying to get this to work. In the instructions it talks about restricting the API to “Google Cloud APIs”. If you do that you don’t get any calendar entries coming through.

   The answer is obvious and I thought it strange at the time (but assumed the instructions were right! Instead you should restrict the API to “Google Calendar API”.

   I’m confused, is this for WordPress.org pages or for WordPress.com pages?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     Our guides are for WordPress.org sites, you can see the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in our article below!

   Instructions were clear and I was able to get my calendar into my website but no events are showing up on the website calendar that i enter into my google calendar. I’ve made the calendar public. any suggestions?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     If the events are not appearing we would recommend reaching out to the plugin’s support and they can look into and assist with those errors. You may also want to try disabling your other plugins to check if there is a conflict with one of your other plugins.

     Unless we hear otherwise, not the entire calendar at the moment but if you check with the plugin’s support and they can look to add that feature

   Hi
   Is there a way to create Event Schema for this calendar?
   Thanks in advance

     Not at the moment, the plugin’s developer may look to add this markup in the future.

   The plugin for Simple Calendar has not been updated in 9 months and has not been tested on the last three major Wordpress updates. Are you sure this is still the best option? Would doing an embed be better?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     While the plugin should currently be working, we’ll certainly take a look at it, for that not tested warning we cover what to expect when you see it in our article below:

   Can you disable the “See more details” for individual events?
   I tried deleting the short code [link newwindow=”yes”]See more details[/link] and saving the calendar but it doesn’t work.
   Do I need to recreate a new calendar, remove the above short code and publish it from scratch?

   Responder

   • WPBeginner Support

     If there are no changes then you would want to ensure your cache is not the root of the issue as well as check with the plugin’s support to see if how you are wanting to set it up is supported or if it would need custom code.

   For anyone who, like me, needed this article’s instructions but found Google has updated their Cloud Platform and this article isn’t updated to match, here’s how I got it to work (11/8/2021):

   Follow the article instructions through: “Here, you need to click the ‘Enable APIs and Services’ option.”

   Next: Scroll down until you see “Google Calendar API” under Google Workspace and enable it.

   – You should be on the overview page, and there will be a button on the right side that says “create credentials.” Click it.

   – Which API are you using? > Google Calendar API
   – What data will you be accessing? > Application data (if you, like me, are trying to make visible a public Google Calendar and aren’t collecting any user information)

   – Are you planning to use this API with Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine, App Engine, or Cloud Functions? > Yes.

   – Click next (it’ll say you don’t need anything else), then done.

   – You’ll be on your credentials page and there will be a new API key. Name it whatever you want. Then click the pencil/edit icon on the far right of it (hover text: Edit API Key).

   – Application restrictions > None

   – API restrictions > Don’t restrict key

   – Submit and you’ll be sent back to your credentials page. Click the “copy API key” button to copy to clipboard.

   – Continue following the instructions on this page from: “You need to copy this and paste it into your favorite text editor.”

   Hope that helps save you the time it took me trying to figure it out!

    My Google calendar no longer displays on my website. It displays on the back end but, not on the website. Is there Plugin other than, the Simple Calendar, that I can use to display my client’s Google calender?

      Unless I hear otherwise, we do not have a recommended alternative at the moment but we will keep an eye out for alternatives we would recommend.

    Is there a way to import multiple Google calendars for use on different pages? I am looking at this plugin to use for a school who has separate calendars that need to be displayed on different pages. Please let me know if that’s possible. Thanks!

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      Unless I hear otherwise, you should be able to embed multiple calendars with this.

    I’ve added Simple Google calendar to my web site on the SideBar. All works okay except each item shows a bullet and then the item on the next line. Multiple events on the same day show a bullet, line break & description for each event. If I put it on the Footer widget, the bullets don’t appear. How can I get rid of the bullets to make it more compact?

    Responder

    • WPBeginner Support

      That sounds like there may be a styling issue either from your theme or the plugin itself. If you reach out to the plugin’s support they should be able to let you know how to remove those.

    Please ensure that both your Google Calendar ID and API Key are valid and that the Google Calendar you want to display is public.

    I’ve got the calendar set up on my web page and it looks great. The only problem is that I can’t scroll to another month. When I click on the arrows, nothing happens. I’m assuming this is a simple button click in my settings that I’m missing?

    I have installed the Calendar with no problem but I am trying to attach a file from Google Drive. The calendar is public and the file.pdf is visible but when I click on it I am requested to sign into my google account. I am trying to make this file public and have set everything to share to public but it doesn’t seem to work. any advice would be appreciated.

    I installed the app, and of course in the beginning it did not run. For the calendar’s id I had installed the URL – without the double quotes. But that’s wrong! I was being too technical when all it needed was the over all name – in our case

    The page, looks great – vastly superior to inserting the HTML code from Google’s calendar.

    This will give the client a great start. Later on I’m sure they’ll upgrade to the pro version. Many thanks

    I added the plugin and set up the Google calendar following these directions. I don’t think I’ve missed anything. Still the events added on the public Google calendar don’t show up on my web page. Any suggestions?

    Responder

    • Paul Appleby

      Kami, it’s probably a cache issue. Have a look at the “Why the event I just added on a Google Calendar doesn’t show up in Simple Calendar?” page at:

      So any events you add or edit will not show up in the Simple Calendar until the amount of time in the plugin’s cache setting has elapsed.

      Hope that helps.

    helped a lot, thank you!

    btw if anyone can tell me how to change the calendar start day from Monday to Sunday that would be great!

    Responder

    • Steven Sanchez

      Not sure if you found the answer but I had the same problem. On your dashboard if you go to settings-general-scroll down to the bottom and you will see “week starts on” then you can change it to sunday or whatever you like. I thought it was in the plugin settings but it’s in the WP general settings.

      Just ran into the same problem. I found the fix though! On the main menu go to Calendars->Settings->’Calendars’ Tab -> Attach Calendars. Select ‘Pages’ and the button will magically appear as described in this tutorial.

    I really wanted to use this app as I maintain a full Google calendar.
    But every time I try to activate it gives me a server error and I am no longer able to access my plugins pages in dashboard. If I go into cpanel and remove plugin it fixes things but I have no clue why this would do this…
    Thoughts?
