    Hello,

    I got an error message instead of the displaying of grid and inline display :
    ================================
    While trying to retrieve events, Google returned an error:

    Failed to connect to http://www.googleapis.com port 443: Connection refused

    Please ensure that both your Google Calendar ID and API Key are valid and that the Google Calendar you want to display is public.

    Only you can see this notice.
    ================================
    I regenerated a new api key, this doesn’t resolved the issue. My calendar is public.

    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    What is your start/end time for grabbing events? You could try reducing it maybe it is just trying to grab too many.

    Calendar start: Today
Earliest event: same as start date
Latest event: 1 year after start date.

    I didn’t changed anything a while (it worked as is well since I install this plugin…). Should be a Google calendar issue (maybe Google changed some internal settings) or a plugin issue (version 3.0.5 installed), I don’t know if this issue happened after a plugin update, sorry.

    Should I install Legacy Google Calendar Events 2.4[https://wordpress.org/plugins/legacy-google-calendar-events/]?
    How? First remove the v3 then install the backward compatibility? How can I save my calendar templates then?
    Thanks.

    You could do that if you want. It won;t be updated though like Simple Calendar will be.

    You would just delete the folder via FTP and then load the old plugin and it should still have your old calendars. It is not a guarantee though and you should take precaution as with anything else.

    After trying several ways to handle this issue, I finally added my Google calendar into a page by using the iframe code provided by Google. Removed the plugin, sorry, but this way I could get total control on my calendar…
    Thanks for the help, and good luck for your plugin.
