 * We followed instructions to a T, I thought, and yet our Google calendar did not
   show on the website via the plugin. It turns out, although we had the main calendar
   itself set as public, **each** **individual event** was set as private, so nothing
   showed.
 * The instructions ought to mention that each individual event must be set to public(
   or default), as that can be overlooked, as in our case.
 * Also, there are some settings in the Google Console that are not mentioned at
   all in the plugin instructions, and it can be confusing. For example, Google 
   tells you via a note in the Console that you should set up OAuth. It’s not necessary
   for this plugin, though. But something should be said to indicate that, since
   Google seems to be saying it is necessary.

 * Hi there,
 * In regards to your review here, the plugin does work as expected. In your case
   here, it seems that you are trying to use our calendar plugin alongside another
   calendar plugin, thereby likely creating a conflict. Please use our “Simple Calendar–
   Google Calendar Plugin” alone and you will realize that the plugin works as expected.
 * I hope this information helps.
 * Kind regards

 * As noted in my post in support, I did try it with all other plugins deactivated,
   and it didn’t work.
