Hi there @erkv,
On the month view page, there is an export button that will export all events — while on single event views, when those buttons are used only that days events will be exported.
Take care,
Ed 🙂

Hi Ed, thanks.
But, I do not want to export the events. I would like visitors to be able to subscribe to the Google calendar .
Is this possible?
Best,
Erik

Hey again Erik,
Using the URL of that Export button will subscribe a user to your calendar, but it is a little confusing the way it handles the URL. When a user clicks the button, it prompts a download. If you were to add that URL manually to a calendar (yours is → https://scoutingraboes.nl/feed/eo-events/) it will subscribe.
We’ve created a snippet that can be added to your child theme’s functions.php file to make it easy for your users to subscribe → https://gist.github.com/cliffordp/be034504a2c530495b7d58e704352069
When using code snippets, please refer to our knowledgebase article → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/implementing-custom-code-snippets/

Hope that helps!

Thank you Ed, that works pretty well.
Am I correct that it’s only working for Outlook and Box30(?) and not for Google?
Thanks again for your hints,
Erik

Hi Ed, It works for Google also, but only for the current month.
Is it possible to subscribe for the complete calendar and not only for the current month?
Thanks!

Hi Ed, unfortunately, it is not working, I like your calendar (also bought Tickets Pro and Calendar Pro). But this function should be working. Switching to another plugin.
Thanks, Erik

Hey @erkv,
Sorry that you weren’t wowed by The Events Calendar — correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t you update this topic letting us know that it was working for you?

Hi Ed, yes, at first your solution seemed to work.
I do not need the ical function on my other sites and there your plugins (proversions) works very well.
But this client wants the events to be push immediately for all events, not only per month.
If this option works I’m happy to return to your plugin.
Best, Erik

Unfortunately, this option doesn’t exist at this time. It is planned to be added to the plugin in the long term → https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/31305556-add-true-subscribe-functionality-for-ical-google — you can vote for this feature if you’d like, we use this site to gauge user interest.
Sorry that I don’t have a better solution for you 🙂
