So, looking at the API, it doesn’t include any provision for exporting non-published status types. I’ve added an issue for this on Github, so I’ll get it figured out. It shouldn’t be complicated, just not something that I’d addressed previously.
You have to host it somewhere else (like on your own website) and then link to it here.
In the editor, type
/imageand you’ll be prompted to add an image via URL.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Google Maps Rendering IssueThat message is only visible to logged-in administrators, so you can pretty much ignore it.
Can you share a screenshot? I’d like to have a clearer idea about exactly where you’re getting this message.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] How do I show the Mini view?The widget you’re showing there is the core WordPress widget; it isn’t related to My Calendar at all. There is a My Calendar widget, however. In English it’s called ‘My Calendar: Mini Calendar’.
I don’t know what the exact shortcode is you’re displaying there; but it’s showing the full grid view, not the mini view, and it has multiple months enabled. That could be something enabled in the settings or in the shortcode; there are default settings configurable at My Calendar > Settings, though they can be overridden in the shortcode.
The My Calendar page does show the mini calendar, although, again, with multiple months displayed: https://www.verhalenmaker.nl/my-calendar/
Did this site once have My Calendar installed before? I’m asking because this doesn’t look at all like a recent installation; it has a bunch of options enabled that are not enabled by default – like multiple months, and a very old default theme, etc. That would be possible if it the site had previously used My Calendar, then removed it but retained the old settings.
If that’s the case, I would suggest going to My Calendar > Settings and checking the box “Delete plugin settings on uninstall”, then uninstalling the plugin. That’ll allow you to reinstall the plugin with the current default settings, while keeping your old event data.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Google Maps Rendering IssueIf you just remove your API key, then Google Maps won’t render.
That’s the JSON schema for the events view. It looks like you’re using a widget view to display the main shortcode – is that correct? The My Calendar widget doesn’t run the JSON schema, because it’s sanitized in widgets and that causes the schema to break.
You could install Yoast SEO; with Yoast SEO installed, the My Calendar JSON schema is deferred to integrate with Yoast’s schema handler, so this shouldn’t be a problem that way.
The dark blue is your category color; it is the default. You can change it by going to My Calendar > Categories and editing the default category.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] How do I show the Mini view?After installing My Calendar, you should have a page in your list of page called “My Calendar”. You can rename this page, so it may not still be named this; but it will be labeled as your calendar page in the page list.
You can configure display options for that page, and that includes setting it to the mini view.
No problem! Thanks for following up.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] “Category Addition Failed”The easiest way to quickly run some PHP, in my opinion, is by adding a simple custom plugin that executes it on demand. I’ve added a simple testing plugin to my plugin extensions repository that will do this for you:
https://github.com/joedolson/plugin-extensions/blob/master/tester.php
To be clear, this is a plugin you should activate, run, then delete. It’s only intended to exist temporarily, and should not be left in place generally.
It won’t do anything on its own; but while activated, you can visit any admin page and add the parameter ‘debug’ to the URL, e.g.
https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/?debug=true, and the code will execute.If you refresh the page, the code will execute again. In this case, that doesn’t matter, but is something to be aware of. You’d need to do this on each site where there’s a problem (assuming it works.)
Can you share a link? It’s always possible that your theme has styles that override the calendar styles; but I’d have to see the site to figure that out.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Location name field not accessibleUpdated release is out.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Location name field not accessibleYou have location controls enabled on the site that’s showing up as a select field. As I’m seeing this, I’m realizing that I don’t think that there are many scenarios anymore where location controls on that field are actually relevant. I’m not going to disable the option entirely in a minor release, but I will limit it so that it doesn’t show on the main locations screen; since I can’t see any case where it’s relevant to adding or editing a location.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] Google Maps Rendering IssueIt looks like the map is rendering; but the map tile images are not visible. That can be caused by a wide variety of conflicts, so I’d start investigating but disabling all other plugins & switching temporarily to a default theme, to see whether one of your other applications is causing an issue. If the map shows up normal in that case, you can re-enable the other applications one at a time until it stops working.

In reply to: [My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager] “Category Addition Failed”It sounds like the database tables on those subsites haven’t been created. I can recall this having been a problem I’ve encountered before, but it’s been a very long time, and I don’t remember what it was.
If you’re comfortable with PHP, you could try running the function
mc_upgrade_db()in an install that isn’t working; that should set up the database tables. If that works, let me know; I have a couple of ideas what might be happening.
