Google calendar

[Kevin Huntsinger]

I have the plugging for allowing iFrame installed and activated.. However, when I paste the code into the Events page it shows the calendar but no events are showing up. I have made sure that all the events are SHARED. Any idea as to why this isn’t working? Here is the code I am using:

[iframe src=”https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=cr%40familylifecc.tv&color=%235F6B02&src=familylifecc.tv_kjdfh6caa62phti69ue1jg6kt8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23333333&src=familylifecc.tv_1vnh9n6pe8776vrp304qpuucus%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23182C57&src=familylifecc.tv_88dnecm38dhh8i5pvcnur3su3k%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%235229A3&src=familylifecc.tv_84koahv3o02sqmcafdpjb6scnc%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%238C500B&src=familylifecc.tv_41i477jv07foo189aaarsog3d4%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23AB8B00&src=familylifecc.tv_dkeb5etsl0l6743e9ib8clfnv0%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23B1440E&src=familylifecc.tv_1a4beri33sta0k2em17l7jt5vo%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23691426&src=familylifecc.tv_ikfsfu9ulqm1n104naq2vjaq5c%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%232F6309&src=familylifecc.tv_j2p0hkdvtlt5krv1qkmjuqjhug%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%235F6B02&src=familylifecc.tv_fjkcvqsds9qhajgqe9cj2jjgso%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%235229A3&ctz=America%2FDenver&#8221; style=” border-width:0 ” width=”900″ height=”600″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no”></iframe]

Kevin,

Good question. If the calendar is showing up, most likely that means that the embed code has been entered correctly. I would tend to think there is something inside the calendar or events that’s keeping them from displaying. I’m not a Google calendar user myself so I don’t know where to tell you to look. Generally Google is pretty good about their documentation, so might check there.

You might consider trying the Google Calendar Events plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-calendar-events/) which I’ve heard is a good implementation of Google Calendars for WordPress.

Let me know if I can help,
Bill

Bill,

Thanks again for your quick responses. Does that plugin allow for me to have a page that will at least look similar to this: http://www.familylifecc.tv/full-hero/calendar

Or will it only allow for a widget?

[Bill Robbins]

Hey Kevin,

If I understand the plugin correctly, it will let you have a full page calendar, a grid widget and also a list widget. It looks like a pretty flexible implementation of the calendar.

If you do use it, let me know how it goes so I can make better informed recommendations in the future 🙂

Thanks,
Bill

I see where there is a limitation however. This plugin is great but you can’t show multiple calendars within one calendar.. They have to be separate?

[Bill Robbins]

Thanks for the feedback Kevin.

[Kevin Huntsinger]

What were you using in the original theme?

[Bill Robbins]

I use a plugin called The Events Calendar. It adds the calendar functionality into WordPress itself instead of using a third party service. I’ve used it for years and have found it to be a good solution for me.

[Kevin Huntsinger]

Lastly, “The Events Calendar”, does it allow to add google events? Or do you simply have to just add all of your google events manually?

[Bill Robbins]

I don’t believe the calendar will sync with Google Calendar. There is an extension to sync with Facebook events, but I’m not aware of one for Google.

[Kevin Huntsinger]

Ok, I decided to dump google and get The Events Calendar Pro and manually enter events. The question I have is this.. Is there a way to display the Calendar Sunday through Saturday rather than the default Monday through Sunday? Their site is down.. lol Sorry for all the back and forth Bill.

[Bill Robbins]

Totally a guess here, but I would imagine the calendar follows WordPress’s settings. If you’ll go to Settings and select General, down at the bottom there is a drop-down where you can select what day the week starts on. I would suspect that if you can change that, this would be the place.

They did send out an email yesterday saying their site would be down most of today as they are moving the plugin out of the Modern Tribe website to its own.

Bill… you are A-MAZE-ING.. So sorry for the 50 million posts today. That is EXACTLY what it is. Thank you so much again.

[Bill Robbins]

I’m happy to help out Kevin. If you need anything else, just let me know.

Have a good afternoon.
