Plugin / amr ical events lists

Installation

1. Download and activate as per usual in wordpress
2. Create some events in your calendar application in a public calendar (eg: google calendar, facebook, ical.me.com ). If you’d rather do this in wordpress, see https://icalevents.com
3. Find the public ics url for the calendar. NB The url MUST be publicly accessible when not logged in – check by pasting the url into another browsers url field. If you cannot access it in a browser without being logged in, then the plugin will not be able to access it either.
4. Create a page for your calendar or agenda and enter one of the shortcodes (preferably using the html view of the wp editor) . EG:

[iCal yoururl.ics]
[largecalendar yoururl.ics]
[smallcalendar yoururl.ics]
[weekscalendar yoururl.ics]

NB (Enter the Ics url NOT As a hyperlink – it must be plain text. Enter it in the html view, not the visual view of the editor.)

Optional:

[expandall] – if using collapsing groups. Enter this shortcode BEFORE the [events] or [ical] shortcodes. Remember to tick ‘use js to collapse groups’ in the listing events styling settings and of course define a grouping for your list type. See http://icalevents.com/4447-groupings-of-events-expanding-and-collapsing-the-groupings/

For the widgets (calendar and list)

1. Drag one of the events widgets to the chosen sidebar
2. Enter http://yoururl.ics in the widgets input area, Save

Some calendar applications delay a bit before updating the ics file. If you think the plugin is ‘missing’ a new event, please open your ics link in a text editor like notepad. Check that the event is actually in the ics file.

There are many shortcode parameters and some highly configurable list types. Please read:
