How to add forthcoming events to a calendar?
-
Hi
Looking at creating a new blog (maybe a premium one) for our cycling team. What would be great is if we can create an events calendar which we’d enter forthcoming races on.
Is this possible with any of the blog themes, premium would be fine.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. I think one of these will suit your needs. All can be used with either free or premium themes: https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-calendar/

Looks like I’ve managed to do it, I’ve added it to my existing blog so will look to incorporate in the new one!
Thank you!

Sorry, one more question!
This is my code for upcoming events, I’d like to be able to show 5 events on my blog page. Where do I insert the code to do this?
Hope you can help!

Did you follow the instructions for the Google calendar or the upcoming events widget? To display a specific number of events you’ll need to use the latter. https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/upcoming-events/#events-list-shortcode

Hi
I think it was a time delay thing, the events are showing nicely now. Something that isn’t quite right is the calendar., I was expecting the events to be highlighted on the calendar, they don’t seem to be showing.
I’ll take a look at the instructions again but if you can see anything obvious that may help me I’d be much obliged.

My experience with calendars are restricted to the support doc, but my guess is it’s the size of your calendar. There’s simply not space in the sidebar to display any details. Try embedding the calendar in a page and check if it shows the events then.

It’s ok I have done it! I was pasting the original code in, not the short code after the post!
Thanks again.
