Simple Calendar – Google Calendar Plugin


I use the plugin for several client websites and it works very well. Even with the free version you can go in any direction. The plugin is flexible and the connection with Google is quickly done thanks to the clear manual.


Powerful and easy to use


I purchased the Simple Calendar – Google Calendar Pro Add-on to easily connect my calendar and display the original event colors. However, every week the integration resets and the calendar stops displaying properly. I have no way to fix it, and it keeps happening. Very frustrating.
