  Hi there,

  This is the Support document for Widgets:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/

  On the right hand side, you will see a list of Widgets. For example: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/upcoming-events/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/calendar-widget/
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/eventbrite-event-calendarlisting-widget/

  Hope that’s helpful. :)

  Thank you Mariah,
  Yes the support document helped. I could install the widget.

  Now I have the widget up and linked to my google calendar. The problem is, that since after I changed the event in the calendar, the event is shown in my sidebar twice, once in the old, once in the new version.
  Also removing the widget and setting a new one didn’t help.

  You’re welcome.

  Did you get this figured out since asking? I took a look at your page and I didn’t see anything standing out as a duplicate.

  Thank you for asking.
  No, I still can see the events twice in my right hand menu. Once with a long description and once without the description. They also have slightly different titles, so I can imagine that they look as different events to you.

  Hmmm… I’m stumped. I see what you’re talking about, but can’t figure out why it’s displaying different dates if you didn’t insert them. You would think that it couldn’t be a duplicate since the dates are different. Right? ;) I do see it on the code side as well. Just not figuring out an explanation for it.

  Is it showing on your Google Calendar as four separate events, maybe?

  In my google calendar it only shows once. And I never set the dates of 27th and 28th.

  Ok, I thought it could be something to do with google calendar not refreshing correctly after an event change.
  My solution is not elegant but practical. tired of the problem, I made a new calendar in google and linked it to the widget. Now everything is fine in the outcome.

  That really is strange how it was showing dates you hadn’t entered. Happy to see you’ve got it straightened out. ;)
