<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>

WP iCal Availability

This is a great little helper!

It is very easy to configure as there are not very much settings. It does one thing and this thing works great.

One note: The calendar blocks the whole day if there is just one entry on one day (however small it is).

If you know CSS you can style the calendar yourself a little bit more, because there are many classes used.

BUT it would be great if the calendar wouldn't be fixed in size. Although you can try to achieve a bigger calendar yourself with CSS.

And a complete shortcode documentation would be great. You don't need it, because there is a great GUI for it, but if you miss the button you are little bit lost.

As all those critics can be solved and are not about the core functionality the 5 stars are still valid.

Great plugin. Easy to configure. If you need more you can do it yourself with CSS and/or move to the premium version. 

Easy to configure

This calendar imports an iCal feed from an external website, like Airbnb, and shows the availability based on that feed.
