Notes:
1 Events update on page refresh; by default, data is cached on the server for up to one hour between updates. Calendar can also be configured to update on every page load, but for performance reasons this is generally not recommended.
This plugin includes the PHP ICS Parser library by Jonathan Goode, John Grogg and Martin Thoma (MIT license).
Pro version also includes the plugin-update-checker library and an appropriately licensed embedded version of Advanced Custom Fields Pro exclusively for the purpose of managing the calendar editing screens. This version is configured such that it should not cause conflicts with any existing ACF installations.
