FAQ

Do I need an Google account?

Yes, you need Google account.

How do I change default style to my preferences?

Use /wp-content/plugins/yakadanda-google-hangout-events/build/css/google-hangout-events.css file as reference. Copy that file to your /wp-content/themes/active-theme/css/ folder as google-hangout-events.css

How to find event identifier to create a single event shortcode?

Single Event Example: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/csnlc77gi4v519jom5gb28217so
The random letters and numbers after ***.com/u/0/events/c is an event id, so the event identifier will be snlc77gi4v519jom5gb28217so without first letter ‘c’.
To create a single event you would place in shortcode [google+events id="snlc77gi4v519jom5gb28217so"]
