First Day of the Week

    When will the First Day of the week issue be resolved?

    We are currently using your calendar, and this plus the inability to see a brief of each event (up to two per calendar day, with a more link), is causing us to look for alternatives.

    Your calendar is simple, clean, and what we want… but just needs a few tweaks.

    The First Day issue is a deal breaker, the other is not.

    Any information would be appreciated, if a solution isn’t on the horizon, can you recommend an alternate calendar with Google Calendar Integration?

    Thanks.

  • I came here to find out how to change my calendar to start on Sunday and found the answer in the documentation here:
    https://wpdocs.philderksen.com/google-calendar-events/misc/general-questions/

    Also, if you do some reading in the support tab, you’ll see a new version with more features is in Beta.

    We have released version 3.0.0 so we suggest you update to that when you get a chance. There are a lot of changes so we also suggest reading through this first for more details about the update: https://docs.simplecalendar.io/update-2-4-to-3-x/

    As @jodzee pointed out the link to the docs site will show you how to fix the first day of the week issue. It is in your main WP settings for the < 3.0.0 version.

    The 3.0.0 version also shows the events within the days and allows for easier customization, you should give it a try!

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks!

    I am having the same issue where the month starts a day late. I upgraded to 3.0.1 and no change. I like the way this looks and did a lot of research but this is a deal breaker. I’m a DJ and need my events to display on the correct day (not a day late). I’ve troubleshot all the day/date settings in both the plugin, google, and my theme. My week starts on Monday on both the plugin and google calendar…

    Am I missing something???

    Still broke for me in 3.0.1.

    The Google calendar is set with Sunday as the first day. My WP General Settings make Sunday the first day. My Simple Calendar settings leave the setting to default (Sunday).

    The grid displays correctly, but the column headings are wrong with the first column listed as Saturday.

    I found a way to fix it in the plugin’s PHP:

    In google-calendar-events/includes/functions/shared.php, find the function simcal_get_calendar_names_i18n. This should start around line 221 in the file. For me, line 237 has: $date->next( 6 );. Change this to: $date->next( 0 );.

    The week is clearly being set to start on Saturday here, and that’s the issue.

    @mortimermcmire315 you just made my freaking morning, maybe day…works like a charm.

    Hey, @nickyoung, hire this guy.

    Thank you,

    Aw. Glad I could help.

    This plugin is excellent, and I don’t want this bug (or my correction of it) to reflect badly on the hard-working developers. So @nickyoung and others, thanks for your work and for being so responsive to all of these support posts.

    Thank you @seth Yoder much appreciated.

    I see this has been resolved but I am still marking this to take a look at.

    Thanks!
