Google Calendar Export

[drew1080]

Hello,
I just purchased the Pro version of the Events Calendar and I see iCal export, but not Google Calendar exporting. Where do I enable that?

Thanks!

OK, I see that Google Calendar export is only supported on individual events. Not what I expected when purchasing 🙁

Google Calendar link for the entire calendar OR a chosen category

This could be called out more clearly on the sales page:

GOOGLE CALENDAR/ICAL FOR USERS
Give your users the option to export your events from WordPress into Google Calendar & iCal. Event venue, organizer & description data will be carried over, as well as event recurrence settings. (Please note there is no importing events into WordPress from either service at this time.)

Hi drew1080,

Thanks first of all for investing in Events Calendar PRO and – by extension – The Events Calendar itself. The support you provide by purchasing a license is genuinely appreciated – so I’m sorry to hear that you got off to a rough start.

As you can appreciate, it’s difficult and would actually make for an extremely long product page to highlight the many nuances of each feature that ships with the plugin – but I’ll certainly raise this with the team and we’ll have a think about whether we should give more prominence to this limitation.

I’d like to stress though that it is far from our intention to be mislead and I would stand by the accuracy of the statement you quoted –

Give your users the option to export your events from WordPress into Google Calendar & iCal.

If a user wants to add an event to their (Google) calendar that is indeed facilitated … and do also note that Google Calendar is capable of importing iCal feeds if a customer desires to import more than just a single event.

All that to say, I appreciate you raising this concern and I will in turn take it to the team for review. Beyond that, we also maintain a feature request page over on UserVoice and you are absolutely welcome to use it, post requests and/or show your support for any existing requests:

Apologies again for any failings on our part and I hope all else goes smoothly 🙂

Thanks for the thoughtful response and for the heads up that iCal feeds can be imported into Google Calendar. Cheers.
