The Simple Google Calendar Outlook Events Widget is a versatile tool designed for WordPress users looking to display events from public Google Calendars, Microsoft Outlook Calendars, or other iCal sources. This plugin, compatible with WordPress 5.9 and later, allows for seamless integration of calendar events into your website using a Gutenberg block or widget. Users can customize the appearance of the event list using CSS, making it adaptable to match the website's design. With a small footprint, it utilizes only the Google Calendar ID or the iCal link to fetch event data.

Key features include the ability to merge multiple calendars into one block, display recurring events, and customize date/time formats. The widget supports a live preview in the editor, ensuring that adjustments can be made in real-time. It also respects time zones and daylight saving time, ensuring accurate event display. The plugin is user-friendly and offers basic filtering capabilities, though some limitations exist with category support for certain calendars.
