← Go back to the Google Calendar Events plugin homepage
If you are having trouble with getting a Google Apps Calendar feed working in the Google Calendar Events plugin, please try the following steps:
- Go into the Sharing Settings for your Google Apps Calendar. There is a drop-down box next to the ‘Make this calendar public’ checkbox (which should be checked). If you can, set this drop-down box to ‘See all events details’.
If you were able to do that, the problem should be solved, however, if the drop-down box only has one option (‘Show only free / busy (hide details)’), then please carry on with the following steps:
- Go to the main dashboard for your Google Apps account (probably
https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/your-domain/Dashboard). - Go to Service Settings, then Calendar.
- Under sharing options for Outside, set the choice to: ‘Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendars’. Save the changes.
Now you will probably need to wait for a while until the next steps are possible (maybe up to an hour). I’m not sure exactly why this is, ask Google! Just keep trying until it works:
- Go back to the Sharing Settings in your Google Apps Calendar.
- The drop-down box from earlier should now have the extra option ‘See all events details’. Set it to this and save the changes.
Hopefully your feed should now work in the plugin. If not, please let me know in the comments below and I’ll continue to research this problem.
Have the ajax calendar short code [google-calendar-events id="2" type="ajax"] on the page above – I have no ajax elements! The arrows to move from month to month don’t show. The event details are there (see em via firebug) but aren’t active (grayed out) So something isn’t running the way it is supposed to.
I am debugging now – but thought I would ask here too see if you had a quick response fix.
Thanks

Hi Ann,
The event details tooltips aren’t working as there’s an extra version of jQuery being loaded near the end of the page. The WordPress version of jQuery is already loaded in the
<head>, so loading it again causes problems.It looks like you’ve changed the following CSS to remove the
display: nonerule. You’ll probably want to change this back once you’ve addressed the above issue, otherwise the event information will be displayed twice (once in the grid, and once in the tooltip).Does you calendar contain any events in future months? The month navigation links won’t appear if not.
I am trying to use your plugin and a widget on the front page but getting this error “1 or more of your feeds could not be displayed. The following errors occurred:
Feed 1: Couldn’t resolve host ‘www.google.com’ Please ensure your feed URL is correct.”
Can you tell me what’s going on? I did notice that the feed from google now has https:// at the beginning. Would that cause a problem?
Thanks
I just wanted to say thank you for this post. We’ve been trying, off and on, to fix this for a year. We searched through forums, all over the web, and this article saved the day.
Anyway, I wanted to mention there were a couple of settings we changed. They are:
—
Outside *** – set user ability for primary calendars
Old setting: Share all information, and allow managing of calendars
New setting: Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendars
Outside *** – set user ability for secondary calendars
Old setting: Only free/busy information (hide event details)
New setting: Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendars
—
Once I changed the secondary calendars, and waited a long time, everything worked.
