Plugin won't show calendars

Hello,

Are you getting any error messages?

Have you setup an API key? ( https://docs.simplecalendar.io/google-api-key/ )

Hey,

I’m not getting any error messages. I have an API key in the plugin, but I’ll need to find the owner of the calendar gmail account so that I can have them verify that it is the right API key. If it’s correct I’ll message back to let you know that the problem is still occurring with an API key, and if it’s not I’ll switch it and let you know if anything changes. Thanks!

I also had the old version, which has worked great for many years. Although I decided to uppgrade now to Simple Cal. And my calendars don’t show up in the widget. Do I need to get a new API-number?

I located my API-number, its the same as in google API, but still doesnt work

I got access to the account with the calendar and checked the Google API key (a server key), and it is correct. I also had a browser key and thought I’d try it just because, but it made no difference. I still don’t have any error messages. I’m think this has something to do with old plugin settings messing up new ones. Let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions for me! They are greatly appreciated!

Hi if you are upgrading from the old plugin, just make sure that all of your settings are correct. The API key process is found here now: https://docs.simplecalendar.io/google-api-key/

I have heard in some cases that completely removing the plugin (including removing all the calendar data from the database) and starting completely fresh has helped. This is only a few cases, but it may be worth a shot if you can afford to do that.

What exactly and where would I delete these files? I’ve gotten into my database for the site in php myadmin, but I don’t know exactly where to find the files I need to get rid of. Let me know, thanks!

There are a couple options in the plugin itself. If you go to “Calendars” > “Settings” > Advanced (tab) then towards the bottom you will see two options:

– “Delete settings”
– “Erase calendar data”

If you enable both of those then when you remove it from your plugin admin page it will remove everything associated with the plugin from the database also.

Alright, I did that and it deleted all of my calendars and everything, but the calendar in the sidebar of the website (list style) still isn’t showing up. The large calendar (grid style) on our calendar page works and shows up. Perhaps the one calendar isn’t working because it is list style? Let me know what I should try next.

P.S. I apologize for only messaging once every week or so. I work only a few hours for my school every few days and am busy most of my other time.

I have the same problem with the list style calendar not showing up but the grid style works like a charm.

Can you link me directly to your page where I can see the issue?

Looking at the calendars again, neither of the calendars are showing up now (my mistake). For sure though, before you had me delete the files and other times in the past when I’ve tried upgrading the plugin, the grid calendar works and the list one does not. I’ve looked at and made sure the API key is correct, and I’ve checked to make sure each calendar’s ID is correct.

You can see on the left side of the live site home page, the old calendar plugin is working. This is how I want it and somewhat what it would look like if the new plugin was showing on the test site. These are the parts that use list calendars.

test site: https://sandbox.smtchs.org/

On the calendar pages of the sites is where it should be using a grid calendar.

Hi
I`m having a similar problem. The grid calendar will show, but not the list.
I′ve tried to delete everything and re-install and start over and it still won`t work…

Here′s a test page I made: https://www.f-2.no/test-kalender-feed/
It only have the title and the shortcode for the calendar on it.

I see a lot of people on this forum are having the same problem with list view compared to grid view.

I′ve tried all the troubleshooting without results.

Thankful for any help I can get!

Hi can you please run through this: https://docs.simplecalendar.io/troubleshooting-theme-plugin-widget-conflicts/

I feel like this might be related to your theme. Let me know if you find anything.

Hi

I`ve tried all the troubleshooting, including removing the theme. The problem was still there when I used the WordPress default theme Twenty Fifteen.
