One Google Calendar, multiple versions displayable by category, is this possible

[Lisa Carswell]

I need to have one google calendar with multiple categories of events such as staff, parents etc and I need to be able to show different views of the google calendar for each category.

I also need to be able to customise the colors of the calendar fully. Is The Events Calendar able to provide all this?

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for reaching out! While our calendars employ their own unique architecture and are not directly powered by Google Calendar, both The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO include support for all the features you’ve come to expect, including event categories and category-specific calendars. All event categories will have their own unique category link, which can be used to link to a calendar containing only events from that category. Here’s an example of a category-specific calendar from our WP Shindig demo site:

All calendars are styled with a basic neutral color palette by default and will integrate beautifully with a variety of themes. If you’d like to change the colors that are displayed on your calendar, this is supported via the WordPress Customizer. For more information on this feature, check out our Knowledgebase article on the subject:

Support for different category colors is not included with our plugins by default, but you can easily add this with the third-party plugin The Events Calendar Category Colors!

Lastly, if you do wish to import events into your site’s calendar from an existing Google Calendar, this is supported via our all-purpose importing tool, Event Aggregator. You can check out our Event Aggregator product page for more information on what this add-on can do!

I hope that helps to get you started here! 🙂 Thanks again, and please don’t hesitate to follow up if you should have any other questions!

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!
