"I'm having a hard time getting my Google Calendar talk to my site. Here are the links for both. I'd love some advice on what I'm missing.

Many thanks,
Meghan Gilbert

What exactly is the user trying to do? How should the calendar "talk to" the site?

No idea. I was hoping this would make sense to you. Sync them, I guess? But her site doesn't have dates at all.

Jumping in here to clarify (i met this person at an event yesterday)

She wants to sync the google calendar to her site through the events calendar plugin. I believe that the plugin pulls events from a googel cal into a calendar on the site. She cannot get the commons site to pull the gcal events into the site.

The user has two event plugins installed on that site.

One of them is Simple Calendar. Here's some documentation on how to use Google Calendar with that plugin: https://docs.simplecalendar.io/creating-new-calendar/

The other is The Events Calendar. I don't believe that plugin has Google Calendar support built into their free version.
