Icalviz connects to any public iCal feed and displays your availability day by day on any page or post, using a simple shortcode. Works with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Nextcloud, and any service that exposes a public <code>.ics</code> link.
Each day is automatically classified:
<ul>
<li>🟢 Free — no events scheduled</li>
<li>🟡 Partial availability — some time slots are taken</li>
<li>🔴 Fully booked — your entire working hours are covered</li>
</ul>
Visitors can click any day to see occupied time slots in a clean timeline modal. Optionally display a call-to-action button (e.g. “Book this slot”) that links to your booking system.
Why Icalviz?
Stop copy-pasting your schedule into a webpage. Connect your Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, or any iCal-compatible calendar — Icalviz reads your public iCal feed and updates automatically, every 30 minutes.
<h4>Use cases</h4>
🏢 Meeting room & shared space booking — Display a room’s availability calendar so your team or clients can instantly see open slots, without logging into any system.
📅 Show your public availability as a freelancer or consultant — Let potential clients see when you are free before they even reach out. Display months of availability from your Google Calendar, Outlook or any iCal feed in seconds.
🎓 Training sessions & open office hours — Show students or participants which session slots are still open. Mark them as full automatically when your agenda is blocked.
🏡 Seasonal rental & short-stay property — Display your gîte, studio, or vacation rental availability directly on your WordPress site, synced live from any iCal-compatible calendar.
🚗 Fleet & equipment availability — Track and display the availability of a shared vehicle, camera kit, or any bookable asset — simply by blocking time in Google Calendar, Outlook, or any other iCal calendar.
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Zero configuration — Paste your iCal URL, copy the shortcode, done.</li>
<li>No API key required — Works with any public iCal feed: Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Nextcloud, and more.</li>
<li>Responsive — 2 columns on desktop, 1 on mobile. Navigation arrows for multi-month views.</li>
<li>Timeline modal — Click a day to see occupied time slots in a visual hourly timeline.</li>
<li>Call-to-action button — Add a custom button (e.g. “Request a slot”) inside the modal, linking to your booking page or contact form.</li>
<li>Custom labels — Rename “Free”, “Partial availability”, “Fully booked” to match your vocabulary.</li>
<li>Dark mode — Built-in light and dark themes.</li>
<li>Booking window — Limit how many days ahead users can see (e.g. next 90 days only).</li>
<li>Onboarding wizard — Step-by-step setup guides you from iCal URL to ready shortcode in under a minute.</li>
<li>Inline iCal tester — Paste a URL and instantly see whether it connects, how many events it contains, and what the next upcoming events are.</li>
<li>Debug panel — One-click diagnostic report covering WordPress environment, plugin version, cache status, iCal feed health, and slot calculation trace. Designed for quick support.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Get your public iCal URL (<code>.ics</code> link) from your calendar app:
<ul>
<li>Google Calendar: ⋮ → Settings and sharing → Make available to public → Public address in iCal format</li>
<li>Outlook: Calendar settings → Shared calendars → Publish → ICS link</li>
<li>Apple Calendar / iCloud: Calendar settings → Public Calendar → Copy link</li>
<li>Any other app: look for “Subscribe”, “iCal export” or “public ICS link”</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In WordPress: go to Settings → Icalviz, paste your iCal URL and follow the 3-step wizard.</li>
<li>Copy the generated shortcode and paste it into any page or post.</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.8 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>A public iCal URL (<code>.ics</code> link) from Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, Nextcloud, or any iCal-compatible service</li>

</ul>

Thanks for checking out the <a href="http://www.localendar.com" rel="nofollow ugc">localendar</a> calendar plugin for WordPress. We have been powering web calendars for thousands of sites for over 16 years, and are pleased to provide a dedicated calendar plugin for WordPress.

Includes Twitter integration: Send event reminders as custom tweets.
