#430 - How do I add a Google calendar to a WordPress web site?(Watt Thoughts)

In WordPress go to Calendars. Then click Add New. Give it a title. In middle of page going down make sure event source is Google Calendar (drop down box). Then click google calendar under settings in second column on bottom part of page on the left. Leave that open

Now go to your google calendar. Under Settings for my Calendar (in the left column), choose calendar want to use if it shows more than one on the list. Click access calendar for events and check box by Make available for public. Choose Integrate Calendar in list below calendar name. In the center right under Integrate calendar is Calendar ID with a really long URL underneath. Copy it to clipboard (you could right click and choose copy).

Now go back to WordPress and paste the URL you just copied in the box below Calendar ID. Publish the calendar. In the right column is calendar short code. Copy the value in the box. Now create page for calendar, title it and in the area where says type / to create a block, paste the calendar short code. Publish and then view. Then you can add page to menu.

This is a little article I am doing across the Internet of my personal opinions. This reflects my personal thoughts. I try to write several times a month on a variety of subjects. It may be religious at times, political at times, and at other times just my reactions on something happening out there. It will often be like an op-ed article. If I do what I intend, you will at times want to shout I agree, other times you will want to say Dwight has really lost it now, but most importantly I want to challenge you to think. Feel free to forward this to others. If you don't want to get this e-mail let me know. Feel free to use what you read from me, but I request you give me credit and send a tear sheet if published in a newspaper or magazine. Thanks.
