    Does this calendar have an export iCal feed.

    So the results of the feeds combined within the calendar can then be used elsewhere.

    This would be super useful.

    No, this plugin is strictly for retrieving and displaying external feeds. It does not generate its own feeds, although it does have the option for users to download .ics files for individual events using the <b>eventdl</b> parameter:

    (But I know that’s not what you’re asking for.)

    I don’t anticipate that a full combined feed download will be added as an option in the future, but I respond to demand with new features… if it looks like this is something that would be widely used, I can investigate the feasibility further.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I’ll keep an eye on your future updates just incase you do add this feature, it would be super useful once it got known about.

    That would be a really helpful feature and would enhance the capabilities of this plugin a lot. E.g. my usecase: I‘m coworking with people from different companies. I use different calendars in Mac calendar (company 1, company 2,….) Sometimes we have to show us our free/busy times, without showing content. Icscalendar could be THE tool to aggregate information from several calendars, deleting details and combining them to a stream, just presenting busytimes. From my research there seems to be no such tool.
    Kind regards

    I agree a tool like that would be nice, but I’m not quite sure there’s a lot of benefit to it; it’s a bit weird to use a WordPress site as the point to glue together multiple ICS feeds to create a new one intended for use externally to the website, and since it’s easy in desktop/mobile calendar software to subscribe to multiple feeds and display them in one view, I’m not sure there’s a huge use case for combining them externally first.

    It’s kind of a “MacGyver” approach that would probably work, but is not really the right tool for the job. (It’s hard for me to describe why without getting into a multi-paragraph digression on the stateless nature of HTTP, OS-level cron jobs, etc.)
