    I’ve followed all the instructions and thanks for being so clear! However, after I’ve created my calendar when I add new events to the google calendar, they don’t show up on my WordPress google calendar. Why? Is it because they are past events?

    Clear, precise, slow enough for beginners like me. I wish you would also put out a video explaining my taxes.

    Thanks for a wonderful tutorial! However, I would like to ask you if I want to give my customers the option to book at a specific time, what can I do about that? With your help I was able to integrate a Google Calendar, but how do I take appointments with that, and also display the available times, say from morning 8 AM to evening 6 PM.

    Hi, thanks for the video, I have a requirement to connect 3 parties with calendar.
    End Customer , Vendor and our Our Back end. For eg lets say one customer selects a restaurant appointment. Is that possible if all parties – End Customer , Vendor and our Our Backend system can be synchronized ?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the video guide,
    is there a way to create entries in this wordpress calendar, like we have it in the google calendar?

  12. Maria Usacheva on January 28, 2017 at 6:59 pm

    Thank you, it is very clear and useful. I even succeeded adding the calendar as a widget being a true beginner )

  13. René Giljou on March 17, 2017 at 7:02 pm

    I can’t see my calendar ID, it just shows my e-mail adress. Anyone who knows how to fix this?

    How can I set up my calender so that the first day of the week is Sunday, and not Monday?

      Open Google Calendar.
      Click the settings gear in the top right.
      Select Settings.
      In the Week starts on section, select an option from the drop-down menu.
      Click Save.
