<p>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.</p>
<p>Why use a slow, stripped-down calendar plugin that offers only a few basic features when you can have the power of our complete solution which offers <a href="http://www.localendar.com/calendar/online-calendar-features" rel="nofollow ugc">over 100 features</a>?</p>
<p><strong>We always display full event titles!</strong> Many calendar plugins truncate your event titles to fit their layout, and force users to mouse-over each entry to see the full text.</p>
<p>localendar makes it easy to customize the calendar on your site. Whether you use our Theme Editor (no coding required!) or custom CSS hooks, you can make your calendar fit your site perfectly.</p>
<p>Includes <strong>Twitter integration</strong>: Send event reminders as custom tweets.</p>
<p>Our new “School Year” view is perfect for schools and other venues that don’t want to show a 12-month calendar</p>

<p>Simple block or widget to display events from a public google calendar, microsoft office outlook calendar or an other iCal file, in the style of your website.</p>
<p>The Gutenberg block requires at least WordPress 5.9.<br />
This simple block/widget fetches events from a public google calendar (or other calendar in iCal format) and displays them in simple list allowing you to fully adapt to your website by applying all kinds of CSS.<br />
Google offers some HTML snippets to embed your public Google Calendar into your website.<br />
These are great, but as soon as you want to make a few adjustments to the styling, that goes beyond changing some colors, they’re not enough.</p>
<h3>Plugin Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Calendar block or widget to display appointments/events of a public Google calendar or other iCal file.</li>
