Pre-installation: check that you have a version of PHP 5 > 5.20. This is required for the timezone and datetime functionality.
- Unzip the folder into your wordpress plugins folder.
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Add one or more [iCal http://yoururl.ics] to a page or post (Note post usage may result in non-validating code, due to multiple occurences of "id" tags on same web page
- Manage the plugin through the settings screen.
Further tweaks:
- Change/salt the css as desired.
- Check Date and Time formats. Note: language specific date formats depend on the specifications in the Date and Time Formats in the settings area. Wordpress does not set locale, but does do some localisation of the "date" format strings, so use those rather than the strftime strings.
- Check wordpress timezone, and ics events timezones- Check your wordpress timezone settings are set to what you wnat them to be. The plugin will handle timezone differences and assumes that you want the wordpress timezone as your main timezone, not the ics file timezone
- play with date and event limits - balance performance against the volume of events you are likely to have. (eg: don't do days=1000 and events=5 if you know that almost always you have about 3 events a month!
Note
The ics file feed must be PUBLIC - if you cannot access it in a browser without being logged in, then the plugin will not be able to access it either.
