Timezone Support
If your event times are off by an hour after Daylight Saving Time begins: Please check your WordPress timezone setting (Settings > General > Timezone) and make sure it is set to a city name, not a UTC offset. See FAQ for additional details.
As of version 6, customized timezone adjustments are supported. Events will default to displaying in the timezone of your site's general settings. Use the tz
setting and specify a region/city named timezone, as such: tz='America/Chicago'
Installation
Once the plugin is installed and activated, use the shortcode below to insert a calendar into your pages. See FAQ for details.
FAQ
How do I find my calendar's ICS feed URL?
Different calendar systems have different ways to obtain the feed URL. You may need to consult your calendar software's documentation for assistance. You will also need to make sure that your calendar is public. Private calendars cannot be accessed by this plugin.
Documentation quick links:
How do I insert a calendar into my page?
Use this shortcode:
Be sure you are using the subscribe URL (i.e. for importing into a calendar program), not the URL for viewing a calendar in a web browser.
Additional customization options can be found in WordPress admin under Settings > ICS Calendar.
If you are using the Classic Editor, you can also use the Add ICS Calendar button to build the customized shortcode automatically from a set of options.
Can I combine multiple calendars? Chaos control: gtd organizer 1 04 download free.
Yes! You can combine multiple calendars by including more than one feed URL in the url
parameter. Separate the calendar URLs with one space. Do not include any other delimiter characters, as they will be interpreted as part of the URL.
Why isn't my calendar loading?
This may be due to your server's configuration. This plugin requires either the PHP cURL extensions, or the allow_url_fopen
PHP setting to be turned on. Check your PHP configuration or your server administrator if you think this may be the issue.
Why isn't my calendar updating?
For performance, this plugin uses WordPress transients to limit the number of times the ICS feed is loaded from the source. If you have updated events that are not showing up in your page, you can force the plugin to reload the ICS feed every time by adding reload='1'
to the shortcode. Be sure to remove this when you no longer need to force reload.
Why are event times an hour off after Daylight Saving Time begins?
PHP has two different ways of defining timezones: as a number of hours offset from GMT/UTC (e.g. 'UTC-5'), or as a continent/city combination (e.g. 'America/Chicago'). Timezones using UTC offsets do not handle Daylight Saving Time correctly (as noted in the PHP documentation). Please check your WordPress timezone settings (Settings > General > Timezone). If it is set to a UTC offset, change it to the city closest to your location, in the same timezone.
(Earlier versions of this plugin had complicated timezone workaround settings, using tzoffset
and tzignore
which are now deprecated, but newer versions pull timezone data directly from the feed with none of the standard PHP/WordPress manipulations.)

We are currently developing a new paid 'Pro' add-on that will include additional layout options, tools for customizing the calendar's appearance more easily than directly editing CSS, an improved insertion tool, and more. If you have suggestions for features you'd like to see or any other additional input, please let us know by following the support link on the admin page or in the WordPress support forums! The core plugin of course will always be free to use.
