How To Embed a Google Calendar onto a WordPress Website

In this step-by-step tutorial video, I demonstrate how to set up a Google Calendar and then embed that Calendar onto a page on your WordPress site. This is great for people that have events that they would like to display with a calendar on their website.

I also show you how to use hyperlinks with your Google Calendar so that users can be directed to other webpages such as a ticket purchasing page or a PayPal page directly from the calendar that is embedded on the website.

I will also show you how to use the recurring events feature with Google Calendar so that you only have to input data one time for these types of events.

You will also learn how to re-size the Calendar and use the “No Sidebars” template so that the Calendar will display full width on your webpage.

If you are interested in building the custom website I used in this video, check out the step-by-step comprehensive tutorial at:

    are you able to put in a Google calendar that auto updates to your site? I am using squarespace and am a makeup artist. So I would like my clients to be able to see my availability when they are booking/pay deposits. Do you have a tutorial on this? Or mind lending me a hand

    How did you get the event to show the description and website information? When I click on my event in the month view, I can only see the name and location of the event.

    Hi, Thank you for the great video. You showed us how to add a website into the event. How do you add an email into the event that you can just click ?

    For some reason, the video was very blurry. When I went to setting, embedding wasn't there. Do I use export?

    Great step by step guide!! Now is there an easy way to link those events on my calendar to a "registration" area to sign up for classes and pay with paypal?

    Hello, Thank you for sharing. I have one issue I can't seem to fix (and I've searched & searched for answers). I've followed your video steps however the content of my google calendar won't display on my wordpress site. I've set calendar to public. I searched the web & found a few folks talk about changing a google app setting (however I don't have a google app account). Any advice?

    Thank you!  I could not figure out why my calendar would not show up and it was the simple mistake of being in visual instead of text.  No one else said anything about that.

    EXCELLENT job, Josh! I'm a newbie who has essentially used your tutorials to create and maintain a website for a fraternal organization. Books are helpful…your step-by-step tutorials and "non-jargon" language have made that possible…nice work and thanks for the insight and knowledge…

    Thanks, Josh. Very helpful. Only had an issue with doing it from a Google Calendar within our Google Apps domain. The calendar would only show "busy", with no event details. So, just used my personal gmail account to embed on our site. Are there any other ways to embed a Google Apps public calender?
