<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>

<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>The small amount of additional front-end displayed text generated by the plugin defaults to U.S. English, but also supports the following translations: Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.</p>
<p>Please contact us if you would like us to add support for your language!</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

Easily add any iCalendar feed (Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, iCloud Calendar, etc.) to your WordPress site. Auto-updating, loads of options.
