OK, I think that was the problem. I changed the configuration to list all days. I create a test multi-day event later and if there’s a problem I’ll get back to you. You can close the ticket and take a 30-minute break.

I owe you another beer.

OK. Thanks and have a fun weekend!

That appears to have repaired the problem. I owe you another beer! Thanks.

For some reason, there’s now a double space appearing between paragraphs in Simple Calendar’s description when there’s only a single space line break in Google Calendar but I can live with that.

I took a snapshot of the entire page but it’s in three sections:

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Hi, Nick.

The Advanced setting is the default, as shown in the Screencast link you sent: “Preserve line breaks, auto paragraphs (default).”

Our calendar can be seen here: https://authenticantioch.com/calendar-2/

Thanks!

I hard-coded calendar changes in Google to “force” WP Calendar to work. Though I’ve had the latest version of WP Calendar, I haven’t “uncoded” the Google calendar. I will test out the new version as new all-day events occur.

Nick,

It looks like Google considers an all-day event as beginning at 12:00am on day 1 and also ending at 12:00am on day 2. In other words, it considers 12:00am as BOTH the end of day 1 and the start of day 2. Simple Calendar might be considering 12:00am as only the start of a new day, thus adding one more day to the event.

Google’s calendar is probably pseudo-coded as:

if all-day event = TRUE
and if end time = 12:00am
then show all-day event as ending one day earlier.

Whereas Simple Calendar might be doing:

if all-day event = TRUE
then show all-day event as ending on the last date we’re retrieving from Google, which would be the second date.

Just my two cents. I’m sure you have a handle on this already. I simply stopped using all-day (multi-day) events as a workaround.

That did it!

You are a genius of the first rank!

Hi.

The problem video can be seen at the bottom of this post:

I have a link right above the video that takes the user to another page on the site to view a “normal” size video.

Thanks, CodeFlavors!

One more thing, Nick.

The above problem might have something to do with how Google Calendar and Simple Calendar handle the precise time of 12:00am.

I created an all-day event in Google calendar for January 1, 2016 and cleared the cache. It does not appear in Simple Calendar 3.0.3.

I then changed the time of that event to 12:00am-11:59pm on 1//1/2016 and cleared the cache. It still did not appear in Simple Calendar.

I then changed the time to 12:01am-11:59pm, cleared the cache, and NOW it appears in Simple Calendar on 1/1/2016.

I’m deducing the problem may have to do with midnight. Google might consider midnight to be the current day and Simple Calendar considers midnight to be the next day?

Disregard. I’m dumb. Setting the calendar to Static is SUPPOSED to remove the navigation arrows.

False alarm.

Hi, Nick. I upgraded to 3.0.3 but I am still having the same issues.

If I create a grouped calendar with the Google USA Holidays calendar as one o f the calendars, all of the event times when I hover over an event are defaulting to UTC instead of my Google calendar/Wordpress default time of USA-Central/CST/Chicago time zone.

I am going to have to abandon use of the grouped calendar and manually enter holidays in my one single calendar.

Also, if I use my calendar alone, the five-day, all-day event that I have mentioned to you before still does not appear correctly. The event in question runs from Monday, Dec. 28 through Friday, Jan. 1. Five consecutive all-day events created with a single entry and appearing correctly in the Google calendar interface.

Using Simple Calendar 3.0.3, the four days in December appear OK but if I go to January, the final day of the event appears on Saturday, not Friday. This is the same behavior that occurred before the recent updates.

I tried the Grouped calendar and had the timezone set to Events Source Default. The times are still in UTC, the New Year’s Day hover-over pop-up says that New Year’s Day begins at 6:00am and ends at 5:59am on January 3rd. This has the affect of adding six hours to the correct time of my timezone which is -6 UTC.

If I change the Simple Calendar timezone to Site Default (America/Chicago), the event times appear correct BUT Dec. 31 is showing both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day as events and nothing at all appears on New Year’s Day.

If I change back to my calendar only and don’t use the Google holiday calendar, the December holidays appear but New Year’s Day is blank.

The Google calendar itself displays everything OK.

Also, not to complicate things, but I mentioned several times yesterday that I have a five-day, all-day event in my Google calendar on 12/28 through 1/1. It appears OK on 12/28-12/31 but, depending on the time zone I use in Simple Calendar, it may or may not appear on New Year’s Day or Jan. 2nd or both. Even using my calendar alone, the fifth day of this event does not appear on New Year’s Day but appears on Jan. 2nd.
