Description
If you update to version 20230111, please note that:
- The theming has slightly been changed. Now there is distinction between bundled and custom themes.
- The previously bundled dark and light themes have been renamed. So if you used these themes, you now have to manually update these themes to the new pgc-dark and pgc-light themes.
- The popup theme has been removed. This can now be set in your custom theme.

Important notes for users who upgraded to 20200902 and experience differences
-
The 20200902 update makes it possible to display private and public Google calendars at the same time in the same widget, shortcode or Gutenberg block.
This update makes the plugin also more secure. Though tested thoroughly it can be possible you experience a difference. Here are some possible differences and ways to solve them.- Public calendar isn’t showing anymore: this can happen when you display a calendar that you also have added to your Google account but didn’t select in the plugin settings page.
The solution is either remove the calendar from your Google account or select it in the settings.
- Public calendar isn’t showing anymore: this can happen when you display a calendar that you also have added to your Google account but didn’t select in the plugin settings page.
-
How can I override the calendar look?
-
Create a child theme and enqueue a css file with a dependency on
pgc
for example:wp_enqueue_style('fullcalendar-override', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/fullcalendar-override.css', ['pgc']);
-
I get a ‘Token has been expired or revoked’ error
-
This usually means you don’t have a valid access or refresh token anymore. This can only be solved by manually revoke access on the Google Permissions page and remove all plugin data.
-
This means that you didn’t add your current URL [YOURWEBSITE]/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=pgc to the authorized redirect URIs. See the website for more information.

W3 Total Cache
-
If you use W3 Total Cache and have minify JS enabled, make sure that you do one of the following:
Choose “Combine only” in the “Minify” settings.
OR
Enter the following files in the “Never minify the following JS files” textbox.
Make sure you add the full path to these files from the root of your installation, so if your WordPress website is located in the wordpress directory, this will be (for FullCalendatr 5):wordpress/wp-content/plugins/private-google-calendars/lib/dist/main.js
And for FullCalendar 4:
wordpress/wp-content/plugins/private-google-calendars/lib/fullcalendar4/core/main.min.js wordpress/wp-content/plugins/private-google-calendars/lib/fullcalendar4/core/locales-all.min.js wordpress/wp-content/plugins/private-google-calendars/lib/fullcalendar4/list/main.min.js wordpress/wp-content/plugins/private-google-calendars/lib/fullcalendar4/timegrid/main.min.js
