In reply to: [Pretty Google Calendar] Events not showing up in calendarGreat, glad it helped you!
I posted a comment on the tutorial page, asking the author to correct the sample shortcode that we both copied and pasted from. It looks like others may have had the same issue (“Elizabeth” — or is that you?).
Anyway, if you like you can chime in there and maybe the author will update the shortcode.

In reply to: [Pretty Google Calendar] Events not showing up in calendarI had a similar problem. The empty calendar showed up but no events appeared. I had also followed all the steps at https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-google-calendar-in-wordpress/
Turns out I followed too closely. If you copy and paste the shortcode from that tutorial page, it won’t work. That example has “smart quotes” (ie, “ and ”) instead of regular “straight quotes” (").
Following the op’s link above, and turning on Chrome’s devtools and looking at the Network tab, I can see that’s his problem too. The call to googleapis.com has extra characters surrounding the calendar id. Those extra characters are the “smart quotes.”
Just retype the shortcode (type the quote characters instead of copying and pasting from the tutorial) and give it a try. That worked for me.
