Title: 'Bad Request' error on widget Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # 'Bad Request' error on widget * Resolved [hrachovec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hrachovec/) * (@hrachovec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/) * Hello: * Thanks for the plugin. It was working successfully for a few years, but seems to have broken recently. I’m getting an error which reads: * > An error has occured. > Bad Request No events to display. * **Changes I’ve made:** – deleted and reinstalled the plugin – created a new feed – double-checked my feed ID was correct in the Widget – double-checked my Google Calendar ID was correct – went through the Google API process so that’s all authorised * Still, no luck. The calendar should appear on this page (half way down under the ‘Events’ orange bar: [http://gestaltcentre.co.uk](http://gestaltcentre.co.uk) * Here’s some screenshots of my settings: [https://www.evernote.com/l/AASkhH_IkclPL5U17HwVp7ZDKAALjndk_MQ](https://www.evernote.com/l/AASkhH_IkclPL5U17HwVp7ZDKAALjndk_MQ) * Any feedback would be welcome. * Cheers, R * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-calendar-events/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-calendar-events/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544142) * Hey sorry you are having issues. I took a look and it looks like there is an issue with your API key. Make sure you follow the process here to get it setup correctly: * [http://wpdocs.philderksen.com/google-calendar-events/getting-started/api-key-settings/](http://wpdocs.philderksen.com/google-calendar-events/getting-started/api-key-settings/) * Thanks! * Thread Starter [hrachovec](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hrachovec/) * (@hrachovec) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544210) * Hey Nick: * Thanks for your quick reply. I went through thew whole API key process again and that seems to have fixed it. Maybe I didn’t copy/paste the entire key before? Who knows. * Thanks for your help. * Kind regards, Russell * Plugin Contributor [Nick Young](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickyoung87/) * (@nickyoung87) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544263) * Russell, * Great! I am glad that you were able to get it working now. Let us know if you have any more questions. * Thanks! * [mattslot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattslot/) * (@mattslot) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544282) * I’m getting the same errors as the OP in the widget. * The setup document suggests using a server key, but doesn’t the javascript run on the clients browsers? It might work for a given host, but not for anyone else. * [aparente001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aparente001/) * (@aparente001) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544283) * All I know is, if you follow the documentation about the API key, you should be fine. Try it! * [Lonnie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lonniehb/) * (@lonniehb) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544378) * One of my calendars stopped working too, it had been fine for a couple years at least. * I had to create a new project and API to get it to work again. * Plugin Contributor [Fulvio Notarstefano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nekojira/) * (@nekojira) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544379) * problem outlined here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/individual-google-api-keys-now-required?replies=7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/individual-google-api-keys-now-required?replies=7) * [jazzinjubal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jazzinjubal/) * (@jazzinjubal) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544383) * I was getting the “Bad Request” error in the widget and went through the steps to create and implement the new API key and am still getting the error. Any thoughts? * Widget on right panel. * Jason * [http://vineyardshreveport.org/](http://vineyardshreveport.org/) * [chriscwcoil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chriscwcoil/) * (@chriscwcoil) * [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bad-request-error-on-widget/#post-5544389) * I can’t seem to get this to work either. I have double checked all my settings in Google Console and the api key. Whenever I include a calendar on my page it stops rendering when loading the calendar.
