have you updated recently these plugins or did you update something else in the site?
from the looks of it (errors in Chrome Dev Tools console), something is breaking ajax on your site

All of the plugins are up-to-date. As I mentioned, if I disable Easy Fancybox and Cleaner Gallery, it works again. But on the fresh installation, there’s no conflict with these plugins. What else could cause ajax to break? It seems like ajax is breaking on the backend, too.
the WordPress ajax handler is in /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php, there’s only one for both back end and front end even if it’s called admin
I think something is crashing admin-ajax.php and it returns server error – or could be a resource problem
it’s hard to tell here

In my case, the error seems to be a conflict between Google Calendar Events and any of these plugins:
Jetpack
Cleaner Gallery
Easy Fancybox
Simple Lightbox
I’ve tried all of these in different combinations. If one of these is active, all ajax breaks. As soon as I deactivate, everything works again.
do you have a test/local/staging site to turn php errors and WP_DEBUG on, maybe there are more insights
I will do some tests too with JetPack

Fulvio,
It looks like it was actually a server issue. I moved and tested the site on my local server using MAMP as well as a new hosting account with GoDaddy, and the calendar and ajax features work fine. It was something happening on the Bluehost server. They had no insight. Thanks for your ideas and help!

It might be be related with this one

there’s a version in the works that doesn’t have such errors but I don’t have a date when it will be available
but on the other hand I will do more testing with Jetpack, didn’t have the time yet sorry

Fulvio, the calendar works with GoDaddy. The calendar along with other ajax features were not working on Bluehost, so I moved the websites to GoDaddy and it resolved the issue.
I wonder what is it then… An error log would be helpful.
Anyway, a future version of the plugin in the works should be more robust I hope.
Thanks for your feedback
