Following a comment from Vince, I found that Google Calendar feed generated by ical4wp plugin is not working anymore. It uses to work, I guess Google has made some modifications in their ical support. I will try to find out where the problem comes from and keep you update with a fix for this asap (which means: I do not know when!).

Google Calendar issue with iCal 4 WP
Thursday, October 4th, 2007iCal4WP, back to the future!
Sunday, September 30th, 2007It is now time to look at iCal4WP and see how we can improve it and ultimately release a 1.0 version.
Here is the todolist for this 1.0 version:
- Bug Fixes:
- Fix repeating events to make sure they appear as well in the sidebar widgets (currently only the first event appear, thought it works on feeds)
- Make it works with WordPress 2.3 (issues with new categories system, see hooks)
- add the plugin in wordpress.org with svn account (about plugin hosting),
- re-organize UI to make it more user-friendly,
- switch to jQuery to be aligned with wordpress new default JS library and not loading a new js library
- Use jQuery plugins for date and time pickers,
- allow events with no end date (useful for people organizing night event with no specific end time)
- Do not show list of events if no event to list, but still keep feeds pull down menu.
- Switch from pull down menu to a bar of icons or simply one icon that shows the pull down once clicked (?)
- Improve widget UI: input of title in the widget conf, select a default type (or maybe if MacOS detected then iCal, otherwise Google Calendar?)
I would like to thing about re-using some code to create a Symfony plugin that can easily deliver events with associated calendar subscription feeds. I can imagine that a Propel behavior could be very useful: you can make any object as an event.
ical4wp: a quick fix for WP 2.3
Friday, September 28th, 2007As you may know, Worpdress 2.3 has a new database structure and therefore ical4wp does not work properly. Actually, everything is working except the list of ical feeds.
I took some time today and I fixed it, making sure that it continues to work with WP < 2.3 too.
I am not going to release a new version yet because I want to fix a few other things before but I know some of you are stuck with this WP upgrade, here is the function to replace the existing one (roughtly line 552 in ical4wp.php file):
Do not replace the all ical4wp.php file but only the ‘ical_list_calendars’ function inside ical4wp.php file.
iCal 4 WP and WordPress 2.3
Thursday, September 27th, 2007Hi all,
good news, WordPress is out for a new release: 2.3. A few really good new stuff inside, you should have a look at it. But be aware: iCal4WP is not working anymore with this version due to some change in the database schema. I am aware of this and I fill find some time within a week to fix this.
