Simple Calendar – Google Calendar Plugin for WordPress

Free calendar integration plugin for your WordPress website

Google Calendar Events is a free plugin to add events from your Google Calendar onto your WordPress site. Like WPForms, StartBooking, and Birchpress, you can quickly set it up and customize it so that it suits the main theme. There are several designs from which you can choose, and you can combine several events into a single display to make it easier for your readers to find.

Some of the advanced features including the time and date formats adjusting as needed. You can even integrate newsletter tools if you want them to appear and act like a newsletter. However, not everything is free. You can pay for a Premium plan if you want FullCalendar and Google Calendar add-ons. 

Showcase your events

If you manage public events in Google Calendar, Google Calendar Events lets you integrate them onto your WordPress site so that your audience is aware of them. Once you have it set up, you can continue working in GC, as the events will continue to appear as you post them. It contains several themes that are mobile and desktop responsive for the best performance.

Combine events into one display

You don’t need to work on displaying each event separately if they have similar themes or categories. If you’re posting about a series of events, you can integrate multiple calendar items into one. There’s also a function to latch onto numerous calendars and draw the information into a single panel.

Advanced add-on features

The free version will assist small sites to get started, but you may need to upgrade to a Premium subscription for more advanced tools. For instance, the FullCalendar add-on unlocks weekly and daily views to supplement the monthly ones. The Google Calendar add-on lets you post private events, while you can customize the display scroll bars. It all depends on how much functionality you need.

Name the time and place

Google Calendar Events is ideal for small or massive WordPress sites that need to display events to their target audience. It will save you a tremendous amount of time replicating each item, but you may need to use the paid version if you have hundreds to sort through every month.
