 * When I tried to activate the Beta version of the Simple Calendar plugin I got
   the following error:
 * Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare gce_print_calendar() (previously declared in /home/

 * Hey there, thanks for trying the new beta
 * It seems like you are running two plugins simultaneously, that will cause the
   error
 * try the following:
 * – deactivate Google Calendar Events 2.x
    – wipe the contents of wp-content/plugins/
   google-calendar-events – put the contents of the zip file inside of the empty
   wp-content/plugins/google-calendar-events
 * Even if we have changed the name we still need to use the old `google-calendar-
   events` slug for many things
 * please let me know if this works out
 * I have added some notes here about the changes: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-calendar-30-beta-now-available?replies=3#post-7463576](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-calendar-30-beta-now-available?replies=3#post-7463576)
 * many thanks!

 * Hi, Nice work for 3.0 Beta. I’ve installed and it is working quite well.
 * There appears to be a bug in the ‘Calendar Category’ feature. I’ve defined a 
   new category, but it is not being picked up when I create a new calendar. i.e.
   the ‘Advanced’ tab for selcting the category is not displaying the new category
   I have created.
 * Any fix for this coming?
 * Also, it would appear that, via widget, there is no way to display multiple calendars
   in a single widget. I will now need to add multiple widgets to display all my
   calendar sources. Is this an over-sight or a design feature?
 * Thanks.

 * Hey John thanks for trying out the new beta
 * The categories are like other WordPress categories. For now you can organize 
   your calendars in categories. This hasn’t many applications yet except for organizing
   calendars and – if you mash calendars together with the Grouped Calendars events
   source – blend calendars belonging to the same categories. In future we can expand
   further on categories if we find more use cases for them.
 * In the calendars advanced tab there shouldn’t be settings pertaining categories,
   but just adjusting things like timezone, date and time formatting, etc. To use
   categories with the ‘Grouped Calendars’ events source, the categories must also
   have calendars assigned to them (just like posts), ie not empty.
 * As for the widget, it should be possible to have multiple calendars blended together.
   But you need to create such calendar first. Add a new calendar, then select ‘
   Grouped Calendars’ as Events source. You can choose which calendars this calendar
   should blend together (either individual calendars or calendars belonging to 
   categories). Once this is done, you can display this calendar mix either as a
   shortcode, or as a widget.
 * Please let me know if there’s anything not working as it should or if you find
   something unfriendly or a missing feature.
 * There was an user that complained the contents of his old feeds were not imported
   in the new version (the text and shortcodes in the post editor) – were the feeds
   correctly imported for you, or did you try a fresh install?
 * Thank you!

 * Ah, thank you for that mini-tutorial Fulvio….basicially all working fine now.
 * But, there is a bug, methinks; my individual calendar images are not present 
   when the calendars are grouped together in one widget. Can you verify this bug?
 * I’ve done a completely fresh install, so, no feed import issues for me, at all!

 * Hello again John,
 * by ‘individual calendar images’ you mean some image you had inserted in the post
   content (the WordPress editor)?
 * I think that happens because the ‘Grouped Calendars’ is using its own event template(
   which you can edit too).

 * Fulvio
 * The calendar appears to be working. You are correct that it is more intuitive.
   For me there seems to be an issue with the highlighting of an item on the calendar.
 * 1. The sidebar on the left side of the Welcome page ([http://www.northwestflyanglers.dreamhosters.com/](http://www.northwestflyanglers.dreamhosters.com/))
   contains a grouped calendar. The drop downs can spill off the page on the left
   side.
 * 2. The page ([http://www.northwestflyanglers.dreamhosters.com/welcome-calendar/](http://www.northwestflyanglers.dreamhosters.com/welcome-calendar/))
   which contains the grouped calendar appears on the left side of the page. I am
   unable to figure how to center it. And then the same problem occurs when highlighting
   a date on the left side of the calendar

 * Try adding to your css
 *     ```
       table {
           width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * that would solve most of the issues, I’ll make sure to improve the calendars 
   styles before it’s out

   calendar. Everything other than Title, Date and Access are blank. No way to select
   the calendar.

 * As crazy as this may seem. There are three repeating events on the calendar –
   Sun. Tues. and Thur. Sundays events are appearing on Monday and the Thursday 
   events are appearing on Friday.

 * Hi Fulvio,
 * Yes, I realise that the Grouped Calendar can have images inserted, but, obviously
   these images would be shared by all calendars within the group.
 * I’d like to have individual images, per calendar, in my widget’s display. This
   is how it works on the current version of GCAL.
 * Thanks, John.

   I think I managed to make that happen, to be in the next beta

 * Will there be more options in the future to edit the look of it? Before, it was
   in a nice neat box and you could hover to get more details about each event, 
   not it takes up a ton of space and there is no hover (at least for me) to see
   more details. Maybe all this can be done with CSS, but it would be nice to have
   some of those options within the calendar settings itself.

 * Hi
 * yes, the general idea is to move away from CSS hacks, which as you point out 
   are not very portable or convenient.
 * There would be two ways to achieve this.
 * First would be to have some predefined styles (for example: light/dark skin) 
   for the default calendar that can adapt to majority of themes. These could be
   set in WordPress customizer for example.
 * Another idea (which doesn’t exclude the former) is to support theme templates.
   Unlike the first approach this would require a bit of coding, just like for theme
   templates (single.php, archive.php, etc.).
 * These two ideas are not in the current beta and I’m not sure if we have enough
   resources to make them happen now (will try), but perhaps in the next release
   or two. Maybe will try to push the first idea first, then the other, which requires
   more work.
 * As for the lack of hover, actually there should be a setting in the panel under‘
   Appearance’ which lets you choose which event triggers the event bubble – this
   can be hover (default) or click (tap on mobile. Does that work for you?
