Hi George,

Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out! I’d be more than glad to answer these questions for you today. 🙂

11. By default, The Events Calendar’s events are defined with their own custom post type, and they won’t appear in your standard blogroll. However, you can change this behavior, if you’d like. This Knowledgebase article highlights the setting for displaying events in your blogroll: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/listing-events-with-your-sites-blog-posts/
12. Events imported from Facebook using Event Aggregator will retain their own timezone as long as your timezone settings are specified properly. For more information on using timezones with our plugins, please refer to the following Knowledgebase article: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/working-with-timezones/
13. The setting specified above will allow you to display all events with your blog posts–if you’d prefer to integrate only specific events with your posts, you can create a custom query to pull blog posts along with certain events. This Knowledgebase article provides more information on crafting queries to pull event posts: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/custom-event-queries/
14. There is no limit to the number of events that can be imported in a given day with Event Aggregator. However, there is a limit on the number of scheduled imports that can be performed in a given day, which is determined by your product license tier. Check out this Knowledgebase article for more information on EA import limits: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/event-aggregators-import-limits-work/
15. See above! 🙂
16. We’ve provided basic styling for all calendar views that should integrate easily with the vast majority of WordPress themes. If you’d like to change the display of your events, you can make adjustments via the WordPress Customizer or delve into deeper customization with our Themer’s Guide: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
17. The Themer’s Guide linked above should provide all the information that you need to get started with customizations!
18. The Events Calendar events can be exported into iCal/ICS format for use with third-party applications. Check out our Knowledgebase article here for the details: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/exporting-events/
19. Yes! RSS feeds are provided for all event views and are a great way to keep tabs on events from your favorite sites–you can even subscribe to specific categories of events. This article should cover all the bases regarding RSS feeds and our plugins! https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/subscribing-calendars-via-rss/

Let us know if you should have any other questions or concerns here! Cheers, and thanks again for reaching out!

19
i was asking about other way around.

can my site visitors subscribe to my events added t o website with their RSS reader ?
in my google calendar can i do something to be able to view all or certain events that are added to calendar that is managed by plugin ?

Hi George,

Thanks for following up! Of course–happy to clarify on these two points for you! 🙂

18. I’m sorry for the confusion here! The Export Events button, when clicked, will download an ICS file containing all of the displayed events for that particular view. So, for instance, if the button is clicked when viewing events for the month of December, the downloaded ICS file will contain all events in December. However, you can also copy the URL from this button and paste it into a third-party application to automatically sync all events from that calendar. You can try this for yourself with the export URL from our WP Shindig demo site: http://wpshindig.com/?ical=1
19. Yes, absolutely! Your visitors will be able to subscribe to calendar events just as indicated in the linked article. Your calendar’s RSS feed URL is automatically embedded into your calendar pages, so any users who attempt to subscribe to your main calendar page will have the correct RSS feed URL imported into their application of choice. If you’d like to add your own link to your calendar’s RSS feed, you can use the URL structure provided in the article linked above and place a link wherever you’d like.

Regarding your Google Calendar, unfortunately, automatically syncing events from The Events Calendar back to Google is not supported by Google’s systems. However, you can export events manually using the Export Events button and import those events into Google Calendar via manual upload. Google’s documentation provides more information on how to import ICS files into Google Calendar: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37118?hl=en

I hope that helps to address your concerns here! Thanks again, and let me know if there’s anything else that I can do to assist!
