Google: Here’s a special kind of ugly!
Pretty Google Calendar: I got this.

This is a light and simple to use plugin that embed Google Calendars in your website with style, beauty and grace.

How it works:

  1. Continue to manage events using Google Calendar as you’ve always done.

  4. That’s it.

Obtaining Google Calendar API Key

  2. Once in the project, go to APIs & auth > APIs on the sidebar.
  3. Find “Calendar API” in the list and turn it ON.
  4. On the sidebar, click APIs & auth > Credentials.
  5. In the “Public API access” section, click “Create new Key”.
  6. Choose “Browser key”.
  7. If you know what domains will host your calendar, enter them into the box. Otherwise, leave it blank. You can always change it later.
  8. Your new API key will appear. Copy this value into the Pretty Google Calendar settings box.
  9. It might take second or two before your API starts working.

Make your Google Calendar public:
