 * Hi,
 * When setting an event to private it shows up as “null” on the calendar.
    Is it
   possible to change null to a different string for all private events?
 * Thank you,

 * I see that if you leave the title of the event empty, I see “null”. So the solution
   is to add a title to the event.

 * Hi,
 * The calendar configured in the plugin is public.
    The event is shared from another
   calendar that is not public. The event has a title. The event itself is set to“
   Private” and “Busy”. If I configure it as “Free” it doesn’t show on the calendar,
   which is fine. If I set it to “Busy” it shows “null”. If it’s an all day event
   no time is shown (which is fine). If it’s a timed event, only the hour (6 from
   6:00) number is shown next to “null”
 * Now while reproducing I realized that if there are two private events on the 
   same day only one event shows and it shows as null of course.

 * I think the reason the title isn’t displayed is because of your second sentence“
   The event is shared from another calendar that is not public.”. Because if I 
   create an event and set it to private and busy in my own calendar, I see the 
   title. But when I add your public calendar I also don’t see the title in the 
   Google Calendar interface.
 * When I have time, I will add a new option to set the title in case it is “null”.
 * Your second issue (two private events on the same day and only 1 shows up) I 
   cannot reproduce.

 * Hi,
 * In the new release of this plugin, you can set a default title in case the title
   is missing. Just add the following to your `wp-config.php` file:
 * `define('PGC_EVENTS_DEFAULT_TITLE', 'My default title');`
 * Best wishes,

 * Hi Michiel,
 * Thank you.
    It’s not working as expected. I might not be doing it correctly. 
   I’d like you to see the following video demonstrating what I see. [video src="

 * Hi,
 * I’ve tested it myself and it’s working as expected. I think it’s not working 
   in your case because in the `wp-config.php` file you have to put the line:
 * `define('PGC_EVENTS_DEFAULT_TITLE', 'My default title');`
 * above the the line that says:
 * `/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */`
 * After that make sure to clear the cache (in the plugin settings page) as well
   as the cache of the browser, otherwise you will still see the previous output.
 * Best wishes,
    Michiel

 * Yes! it works!
    Aren’t screen captures just the best? 😛 Works well with RTL 
   language as well. Hebrew in my case.

    I still
   want to get you that beer. Actually 2 beers now.

   If I ever go to Israel, I’ll let you know and you can buy me a beer 😉
