 * I’m having an issue where my arrows switch to disabled mode ever couple clicks.
   I am using a Beaver Builder Module which may be causing the conflict. I too have
   tried to override the CSS, but the button function is still disabled. Any help
   would be greatly appreciated.

 * i had the same problem: you have to go to /wp-content/plugins/google-calendar-
   events/assets/css/default-calendar-list.min.css and change color for this class
   “.
   simcal-default-calendar-light .simcal-nav-button:disabled”.

 * I’m having the same issue. It’s not a color thing, the buttons are just disabled.
   I can see them, but nothing happens when clicked.
 * Help!

 * So here’s what I’ve figured out. The calendar will only allow you navigate to
   months that have events. So even though you start the calendar “Today” if you
   don’t have events until two months later, once you navigate there, you can not
   return to “Today” unless you refresh the page.
 * Yes, you can override the color of the disabled class, but that does not allow
   you to navigate.
 * I don’t believe this is a great user experience, so I’m wondering if I need to
   add some kind of explanation for why the arrows disappear. Has anyone else done
   something like this? It’s a bummer that we would even need to do this.

 * I’m really hoping this major issue gets resolved as well. There should either
   be the option to enable the buttons if there are no events, or just make it so
   they are always enabled. Always.
 * Seems like it would be a pretty easy Javascript fix, right? Just find the code
   that disabled the arrow if there are no future events, and then delete it.

 * I need help here, too. I have the same problem. Looking into the source-code,
   I see, that there is no link added to the arrows. And there ARE Events in the
   next month, so that it cannot be the cause.
    I figured out, that the plugin works
   fine with other themes than mine. I made a new one, so I think I have to add 
   a script or anything else to make it work. In my source-code I see that in other
   themes there is this code added before: <section data-customize-partial-id=”widget[
   gce_widget-3]” data-customize-partial-type=”widget” data-customize-partial-placement-
   context=”{"sidebar_id":"sidebar-1","sidebar_instance_number":1}” data-customize-
   widget-id=”gce_widget-3″ id=”gce_widget-3″ class=”widget widget_gce_widget”> 
   My Code starts with <div class=”widget_right”><h3>Terminkalender</h3><div class
   =”simcal-calendar … The site I need help for is: [http://www.mo-mai.de/ig_projekt/](http://www.mo-mai.de/ig_projekt/)

 * I found this works sometimes and not others, it might be a caching issue, so 
   check if you are using Autoptimize or WP Fastest Cache, or something similar 
   that minimizes Javascript.

 * if Autoptimize: you can disable Autoptimize on a per-request basis by adding `?
   ao_noptimize=1` to the URL.
 * if the problem is not there at that point, some autoptimize (re-)configuration
   might be needed to fix this. there are troubleshooting tips and info on how to
   exclude in [the AO FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autoptimize/#faq).

 * Hi. Just downloaded this plugin and found the same bug you mention. However, 
   it only seems to happen for me on the calendar’s actual page (ie, [https://your-site/calendar/availability/](https://your-site/calendar/availability/))
 * If you embed the calendar shortcode on a standard WP page, the back and next 
   buttons work fine.

 * If I understand correctly, you can navigate ahead to the next event, but you 
   can’t go back if there are no events before that one. Unfortunately, I have to
   show this to the client when they have only one event in the calendar so far,
   so it looks like the plugin is broken. It seems to me that it should work just
   like a google calendar, where you can go back and forth on empty pages to your
   heart’s content. But at least I understand what’s going on now.
