Google Calendar compatibility

[Julie Schroer]

Hi,

I’m interested in your calendar. I’m currently using a different all in one events calendar, but it has become a little buggy and my clients cannot seem to download the calendar.

I have two questions about your calendar:

Oops – I hit send too soon.

1 – Can I import from a Google calendar into The Events Calendar?

2 – Will people be able to subscribe to my calendar into their Google calendar?

3 – Lastly, how customizable is it? I wanted to create the look in this link – https://avada.theme-fusion.com/events/ but could not find a similar view in the information on your plugin.

Hey Julie,

Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in our plugins! 😀

1 – Can I import from a Google calendar into The Events Calendar?

SORT OF — You can do this if you use Event Aggregator with our plugin, which you can learn more about here: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/event-aggregator/

2 – Will people be able to subscribe to my calendar into their Google calendar?

SORT OF — Folks can download ICS files of the “month view” of your calendar, and then import those events into Google Calendar. But this is manual process — it’s not an automatic thing where they subscribe once and then their calendars automatically get filled with events from your site. This is unfortunately not possible with our plugins at this time.

To see the manual “month view” exports, check out our demo site here: wpshindig.com/events/month You’ll see an “Export Events” link in the bottom-right corner of the page, which is what gets displayed by our plugins by default. Users of your site can manually export events with this sort of link and then re-import them into their own calendars.

3 – Lastly, how customizable is it? I wanted to create the look in this link – https://avada.theme-fusion.com/events/ but could not find a similar view in the information on your plugin.

The only “out of the box” customization options with our plugins are those that are covered here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-customizer/

Other than these customization options, which are mainly just color selectors, you would have to write custom code to get things looking how you want (or hire someone to write such code for you). The theme you choose on your site may also have some custom Event-related design, but this is something you’d have to ask the theme author about since we do not make any themes.

Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with! 😀

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
