Simple block or widget to display events from a public google calendar, microsoft office outlook calendar or an other iCal file, in the style of your website. The Gutenberg block requires at least WordPress 5.9. This simple block/widget fetches events from a public google calendar (or other calendar in iCal format) and displays them in simple list allowing you to fully adapt to your website by applying all kinds of CSS. Google offers some HTML snippets to embed your public Google Calendar into your website. These are great, but as soon as you want to make a few adjustments to the styling, that goes beyond changing some colors, they’re not enough. Plugin Features Calendar block or widget to display appointments/events of a public Google calendar or other iCal file. Block gives live preview in the editor and is not constrained to widget area. Old widget will be displayed in legacy widget block only in widget area. Old widget works also with Elementor (with some limitations e.g. preview in backend editor is not always available). Small footprint, uses only Google ID of the calendar, or ICS link for Outlook, or Url of iCal file, to get event information via iCal Merge more calendars into one block Manage events in Google Calendar, or other iCalendar source. Fully adaptable to your website with CSS. Output in unordered list with Bootstrap 4 listgroup classes and toggle for details.

Frequency Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Dayly (not Hourly, Minutely and smaller periods) Basic support for filter on Categories Warning: MS Outlook does not share categories via iCal now.
