the API (calendar API) is not enabled for your project

I’m using the GCAL (google calendar events version 2.3.2) plugin, which up until a day or two ago, was working fine. Suddenly (and with no changes to my website that I know of) instead of the small calendar grid on the left sidebar, I get the ugly text “The API (calendar API) is not enabled for your project. Please use the Google Developers Console to update your configuration” across the whole page.

This has been working for a year at least, did Google change something? It is not clear from the settings for the plugin how to associate the plugin with my “project”…I may have set one up when I implemented the plugin but unfortunately I don’t remember what it was, and when I sign in to the google developer’s console, it shows now projects assigned to me. (I created a new one, and authorized it for the calendar…but how do I associate it with the plugin?)

Thanks…I searched for a similar problem in the forum but got no relevant hits, as far as I could tell…

my calendar ID is bhcbe.org_1bs2qgnedmpjtn3f3e99tkc4rg@group.calendar.google.com

i am using a shortcode (3288)
Here is the link to a screen capture or my settings

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

go to Settings (the plugin settings from the menu) you should see a field to enter the new key

Same problem. Issue solved.
follow the instruction in following link:
http://wpdocs.philderksen.com/google-calendar-events/getting-started/api-key-settings/?utm_source=gce_lite&utm_medium=settings_link&utm_campaign=docs#content

add your new google API key ‘General settings” of Gcal events.
Refresh your WP cache.

and it will work fine…

Phew! I was having the same problem on a client site. Thanks for the link, worked a treat. Google don’t like to make things easy, do they?

@rachel if you are a designer/developer, would you like to try a new beta of this plugin? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-calendar-30-beta-now-available?replies=13

Thanks…but when I go to the “Credentials” screen (step 7) I get a different set of options (none of which seem to be the right ones…)

Additional info: I actually did create a new “server key” last night…but I didn’t seem to get a screen where I could copy it, and now I can neither find it or get the button to try to create another “server key” back….

@dfrombe,
Thanks for the link. I used it and was able to resolve the issue. I already had the server key created and just needed it copied into the API key location on the plugin.

Slight update…i AM able to get to the screen that allows me to create a new “server key”, but what would be the point? It will not give me the actual key (based on my last try, anyway)…

OK, I think I found the problem….I created a new API key, using a different browser, and the key was shown in a popup window. I must have lost or suppressed the popup in my first attempt.

Sorry for the confusion. This can now be listed as “resolved”.

Regards

Norm

Thank you dfrombe!

Your link was perfect (and it came complete with step by step instructions – how awesome is that!) I could not have fixed this issue without you!!
