Thanks Tastewolves

@omarkoza I poked around and found Modern Events Calendar. I plan to use it in my next build. They offer way more than most for free and the peo licences are lifetime and not subscription based.

This is not to be confused with The Events Calendar from Modern Tribe. I’m running that on one of my sites but it has less to offer for free and the subscription plan to pro is pricey.

I have this Timely Calendar on another site, as well, but didn’t realize there were issues until I saw the recent reviews and support forum. This eliminated it from being a candidate when deciding what to go with in my next build!

Hopefully we can get more people from making the mistake of using All in One until they can fix the issues with their product.

@janiebee83 Thank you SO much for recommending Modern Events Calendar! So much better than All In One. And zero errors. And Modern Events Calendar support has been very responsive and helpful, which is refreshing to see. Thanks again!

@omarkoza Hey no problem. The web design community has been so helpful to me in my journey and it feels great to pass some of that support on to others. I’m glad you had a good experience!

I have been monitoring all the issues with Time.ly and have the same. But, unfortunately I cannot find another calendar plug in that allows snycing with both iCal and gMail. I love all the features of the alternative calendars being recommended but they do not see to offer the snyc capability. Does anyone else need this feature or has an alternative solution?

@mtzionadmin Modern Events Calendar says it has auto Google Calendar synchronization in the Pro version which is a simple one time purchase of $75 for lifetime updates on 1 site, which isn’t terrible, or you can go with lifetime for 5 or 10. https://webnus.net/modern-events-calendar/features/ Here are a couple more areas of their site that I dug up that might help:
https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/import-and-export-events/
https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/export-to-google-calendar and
https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/syncing-of-mec-plugin-with-google-calendar/

The free version also lists Google Calendar integration, but not “syncronization:” https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/modern-events-calendar-lite/

WP Event Manager is another plugin that I played around with when I was trying to find a new go-to calendar plugin. I liked it, but it had less features. One cool thing is that you can add custom fields since its operation is based around custom post types. The core plugin is free and has kind of have a modular, add-on ala carte approach so you can just pay for what you want or a big bundle. https://wp-eventmanager.com/product/wp-event-manager/
Here is their add on for syncronization which is $39/year for one site (personal) or $99/year for unlimited sites (developer): https://wp-eventmanager.com/product/wp-event-manager-ical/

Maybe something here will help.
