  Hi there!

  I visited your site and it appears as if you may have solved your own issue. I took a look at the following event on your website:

  

  When I clicked the hyperlink, I was taken to https://www.scixconference.org/.

  Is everything working well for you now, or can I help further? I you do need assistance, if you could direct me to a specific link that isn’t working, to your Google calendar, and to the URL to which you’re trying to connect, it would be very helpful.

  Many thanks!

  On the google calendar it appears fine but on the events page where it’s in a list format, the link is not showing in the description field.

  Hi again,

  …the link is not showing in the description field.

  The only way to make that appear as a link in the list view is if you use the full URL, starting with http:// in the description in your google calendar.

  It will look like this:

  Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!

  I’ve tried that but the address does not show on the list. I’ve also tried the code SciX 2014 and it shows the address broken up and does not work also.

  Hi again,

  I’d like to see how it appears (or DOESN’T appear, in this case). Can you place the entire http:// URL in the Google calendar description? This is how I was able to make the link work in the Event list:

  

  Please do the same thing I did above, so I can see where along the path the link is breaking. Let me know when you add the item, and which item it is on the calendar, so I can take a closer look.

  I don’t have access to your Google calendar, so I do need your assistance to troubleshoot this issue. I appreciate the help and patience!

  Thanks much.
