A Gutenberg block for calendar integration.

room34

<p>Add the calendar you already use to Any WordPress site! Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Airbnb and more… no API keys or complicated setup required.</p>
<p>Using a simple shortcode, you can turn any iCalendar subscription (ICS) feed (Google Calendar, Microsoft Office 365, Apple iCloud, Airbnb, Vrbo, and many more) into a seamlessly integrated, auto-updating, zero-maintenance WordPress calendar.</p>
<p>Continue to manage your events in the calendar software you’re already using! You’ll automatically have an up-to-date calendar in your WordPress website with no extra work.</p>
<p>Display your calendar in month, list or week view. Many additional customization options are available. See our <a href="https://icscalendar.com/user-guide/" rel="nofollow ugc">User Guide</a> for full details.</p>
<p><strong>No API keys required!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Works with ANY calendar software</strong> that generates a public iCalendar subscription link.</p>
<h4>Live Preview</h4>
<p>You can preview your own calendar in any ICS Calendar view at our website: <a href="https://icscalendar.com/preview/" rel="nofollow ugc">icscalendar.com/preview</a></p>
<h4>Shortcode Builder</h4>
<p>We’ve made it easier than ever to get started using ICS Calendar with our new online shortcode builder: <a href="https://icscalendar.com/shortcode-builder/" rel="nofollow ugc">icscalendar.com/shortcode-builder</a></p>
<h4>Language Support</h4>
<p>All date strings (days of the week, months, etc.) are automatically translated into your site’s configured language (under <strong>Settings > General > Language</strong>) and date/time formats using core WordPress functionality. All text content for the calendar itself is displayed as-is from the feed.</p>
<p>ICS Calendar includes built-in translation files for the following languages: Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Ukrainian.</p>

ICS Calendar

Excellent plugin and it just works. Was able to plug in an Outlook Office 365 ics file and it just works.

That's it, the plugin just works!

Thanks for sharing with us.

Just friggin works!


Lovely functionality and appearance straight out of the box.



I wanted to tweak the UX to have 2x calendars showing with interleaved events.. it just handles it perfectly.



Many thanks for an excellent plugin.


Unbelievably Useful

Add the calendar you already use to Any WordPress site! Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, iCloud and more… no API keys or complicated setup required.
