 * Hi,
 * I’m just now using your plugin and trying to combine it with Google+ Events which
   seems to be really close to working.
 * I’ve found that the plugin will add an extra string of characters “&ctz=” to 
   the end of an Event URL and this will break a link to a Googe + Event.
 * Example, see July 26th here, the second link titled “Event Testing”
 * The More Details link will take you here – [https://plus.google.com/events/c0phfcar939351o3tski45dbrts&ctz=](https://plus.google.com/events/c0phfcar939351o3tski45dbrts&ctz=)
   which you’ll get a 404 page in google +.
 * If you remove “&ctz=” the event works properly [https://plus.google.com/events/c0phfcar939351o3tski45dbrts](https://plus.google.com/events/c0phfcar939351o3tski45dbrts)
 * Any ideas how this string is being added?

 * Hello,
 * This is definitely a bug. The plugin shouldn’t add the `&ctz=` thingy when the
   timezone is set to “Default” in the feed settings.
 * I’ve updated the [development version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/google-calendar-events.zip)
   of the plugin with a fix for this.
 * However, note that the dev version will still add `&ctz=` if a timezone other
   than “Default” has been selected (`&ctz=Europe/London`, for example), as this
   is still useful for non Google+ calendar feeds. So, for Google+ feeds, you’ll
   need to leave the timezone set to “Default”. A better fix I might look into for
   the future could be to auto-detect whether the feed is from Google+ or Google
   Calendar, and adjust things accordingly.

 * Thanks Ross, do you think this fix will be pushed to the production plugin soon
   or will you hold off for a while?

 * To be honest, it probably won’t make it to production any time soon.

 * Hello,
 * You’ll need to set the “Timezone adjustment” option to something other than “
   Default”.
