Plugin worked as required with straight forward setup. I’m really pleased with how it is working. I did have a question for their support but they were quick to replay.
This a great plug-in, comprehensive yet simple interface. Support staff such as John Gachari has been super responsive and helpful in fixing display errors caused by integrations with the Oxygen Builder and JQuery Migrate settings.
had a minor issue, support answered almost immediately! Helped me fix my issue right away.
Not sure about some of the bad reviews. This plugin (free version) has worked and is working flawlessly for me without any problems whatsoever. In addition, the markup it serves and the presentational (css) layer are well thought out. Beats another paid plugin I wont name hands down.
Highly recommended plugin to connect your Google Calendar events with your WordPress site.
