Does exactly as advertised

This plugin is a Godsend. It is amazing how hard it is to find a plugin that displays the Google calendar without a bunch of other stuff shoved in that you don’t need. This one is simple and just works.
Amazingly good

Great Plugin. Worth Every Star

If you are wanting to show Google Calendars on your WordPress website, look no further.
Highly recommend this plugin. Great Support 👍
Easy, Responsive, Customizable
by rodolforizzo76·2 years ago
Pretty Google Calendar is an extraordinarily useful and welcome plugin, especially considering Google’s disappointing default integration. It is responsive and seamlessly adapts to any screen, switching to list mode when necessary. Customization is simple and intuitive, allowing you to modify colors and fonts to seamlessly integrate with your website. The synchronization simply “works,” and the shortcode is rich in parameters, including language localization, offering complete control over the calendar’s appearance and behavior. In short, Pretty Google Calendar is the ultimate solution for integrating Google calendars easily and effectively on WordPress. Thank you for this contribution.
