Embedded Google Calendars that don't suck.
You: I just want to embed a Google Calendar in my WordPress site.
Google: Here’s a special kind of ugly!
Pretty Google Calendar: I got this.
This is a light and simple to use plugin that embeds Google Calendars in your website with style, beauty and grace.
Highlights:
- Out of the box support for calendar grid and agenda list view (and most other FullCalendar views)
- Responsive design switches to list view on smaller screens
- List view customizable to day, week, month, year or custom number of days
How it works:
- Continue to manage events using Google Calendar as you’ve always done.
- Add a shortcode to your page.
- Sigh with relief.
- That’s it.

Settings page. It's that simple.
What sorcery is this?!
Pretty Google Calendar impliments the excellent Full Calendar for you, and tosses in a little Tippy.js and Popper to make things… well… pop.
Can I use this to manage a calendar?
No. All calendar events are maintaned via Google Calendar, this plugin just displays them in a non-shitty way.
How do I theme the calendar?
Add custom css to your theme to tweak to your desire.
Can this plugin do X,Y or Z?
Probably not. But it maybe could!
Pretty Google Calendar is purposefully simple and easy, set up with a few defaults to make things just work. However, there may be a killer feature you want that others are clammering for.
Since it is based on Full Calendar, theoretically, anything that is possible there is possible here. Contact me for requests for additional functionality, and let’s see what we can create together!
