Make your calendar public in Google Calendar: **Settings and sharing Access permissions Make available to public**. 2. Copy the **Calendar ID** from **Settings and sharing Integrate calendar**. 3. Paste it into **Settings Calendar Display** in WordPress. 4. Add `[cdgc_calendar]` to any page, post, or widget. Shortcode options: * `url` – a different calendar ID or URL than the one in Settings * `view` – `month`, `week`, or `list` * `primary_color`, `bg_color`, `event_color`, `text_color` – hex colors * `border_radius` – corner radius in pixels * `show_event_exports`, `show_calendar_subscribe` – `1` or `0` Example: `[cdgc_calendar view="list" primary_color="#c2410c"]` ### External services This plugin connects to Google Calendar to load the events it displays. * **What is sent and when:** when a page containing the calendar is viewed and the cached copy has expired (every 12 hours by default), your server requests the calendar’s iCal feed from `calendar.google.com`. The request contains the calendar ID or feed URL you entered and your site’s address in the user-agent header. No visitor data is sent. If you enter a non-Google .ics URL, that server is contacted instead. * **Links visitors may choose to follow:** the “Add to Google Calendar” and “Subscribe” links open Google Calendar, and location links open Google Maps. Nothing is sent to Google unless a visitor clicks one of these links.

Changes can take a few minutes to reach the public feed. ### Can I use a private calendar? You can paste the calendar’s **secret address in iCal format**, and the plugin will hide subscribe links so that address is never shown on your site. Keep in mind that the events themselves will be visible on your page. ### I changed an event and it hasn’t updated Events are cached for speed. Use **Settings Calendar Display Clear calendar cache**, or lower the refresh interval. ### Which timezone are times shown in? Your site’s timezone, from **Settings General**. The first day of the week also follows your site setting. ### Can I show more than one calendar? Yes. Use the `url` attribute on each shortcode. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “FD3 Calendar Display for Google Calendar” is open source software.
