Add image in the configurator for images pulled from Google Calendar

Wishlist Event Calendar
1

Hi everyone - I’m new to this and I know this is super basic but how do you add a photo to an event in the calendar. I chose the Event Calendar template which shows photos but I cannot figure out how to add a photo. Nor can I figure out how to edit the copy or add a button with a link. Any and all tips will be greatly appreciated, thanks

It appears that you can only edit if you’re creating an event manually and not when synced with Google calendar. This seems odd. I’d like to link to calendar because it’d save a ton of time but don’t want to lose the photo and button option. There must be a way to do it all. Please help!

Hi there, @Ron_Escobar :wave:

Yep, it’s impossible to add images in the settings if you’re using Google Calendar integration. However, if you add images right in the Google Calendar, they’ll be displayed in the widget.

Anyway, I agree that this option might be helpful and I’ve moved your suggestion to the Wishlist.

As for the button, unfortunately, it’s also not available for events imported from the Google Calendar. We already have this idea on the idea, and you can upvote it here - Add button for EC connected to Google Calendar

By the way, in this Wishlist thread we’ve shared a custom solution for creating a button. You just need to add a button text with the link to the event description in your Google Calendar:

After that, you should add this code to the Custom CSS field on the Style tab of your widget’s settings:

.global-styles, a {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
background-color: purple;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: 0px solid purple;
border-radius: 20px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
text-wrap: auto;
overflow-wrap: anywhere;
}

.global-styles,
a:hover,
a:focus {
color: white !important;
}
