GoHighLevel Calendar Widget Guide
If you manage multiple appointment types in GoHighLevel and also use ClickUp or similar tools for project tracking, keeping a clear booking flow is essential. This guide shows you, step by step, how to reorder the calendar widget layout so that the appointment type, calendar, and time selection appear in the exact sequence you want on your website or funnel pages.
The instructions below are based on the official GoHighLevel help documentation and explain how to control the widget order at both the location and calendar levels.
What the GoHighLevel Calendar Widget Order Controls
The calendar widget in GoHighLevel determines the order in which visitors see:
- The list of appointment types (if you have more than one)
- The specific calendar they are booking into
- The time selection screen
By reordering this flow, you can better match your funnel design, improve user experience, and reduce confusion for leads who are booking calls or meetings.
Types of GoHighLevel Calendar Widgets
In GoHighLevel, there are two main widget concepts involved in this process:
- Location-level calendar widget — controls the default order for all calendars in a location.
- Individual calendar widget — allows you to override the default order for a specific calendar.
Understanding the difference will help you decide whether to make global changes or targeted adjustments.
Accessing the Calendar Widget Settings in GoHighLevel
Follow these steps to reach the widget order settings from within your GoHighLevel account.
Step 1: Open the Location Calendar Area in GoHighLevel
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- Select the location in which you want to manage calendars.
- In the left-hand navigation, click on Calendars.
- Go to the Calendar Settings or main calendar management screen (depending on your interface layout).
This is where the main calendar widget configuration begins.
Step 2: Find the Calendar Widget Reorder Options
After you open the calendar area, you can access the widget order controls. According to the official documentation at this GoHighLevel help article, there will be settings that define the sequence in which components of the calendar widget appear.
These settings might be labeled with terms such as:
- Appointment Type
- Calendar
- Time
Each represents a part of the booking flow that you can reorder.
How to Reorder the Location-Level GoHighLevel Calendar Widget
Use the location-level widget order when you want the same booking sequence for most or all calendars in a location.
Step 3: Adjust the Default Location Widget Order
- Within the location calendar area, locate the Calendar Widget or Widget Order section.
- You should see the individual components listed, such as Appointment Type, Calendar, and Time.
- Use drag-and-drop controls or up/down arrows (as provided in GoHighLevel) to rearrange the components into your preferred order.
- Common sequences include:
- Appointment Type → Calendar → Time
- Calendar → Time (when you only use one appointment type)
- Click Save to apply the changes to the location-level widget.
Once saved, this order becomes the default behavior for all calendars that do not have their own custom widget order.
Reordering an Individual GoHighLevel Calendar Widget
Sometimes you need a specific calendar, such as a VIP consultation or internal meeting calendar, to use a different booking flow than the default. In that case, adjust the widget order for that single calendar.
Step 4: Open the Calendar You Want to Edit
- In the GoHighLevel calendar section, switch to the Calendars list or similar view.
- Click on the specific calendar you want to customize.
- Open its Settings or Configuration panel.
This panel will contain options that either inherit the location widget order or allow custom settings.
Step 5: Override the Widget Order for the Selected Calendar
- Look for a setting related to Calendar Widget Order or similar wording.
- If there is a toggle to enable a custom order for this calendar, switch it on.
- As with the location-level widget, reorder the elements (Appointment Type, Calendar, Time) using the interface provided in GoHighLevel.
- Set the sequence to match this calendar’s purpose. For example:
- For a multi-service booking page: Appointment Type → Time → Calendar
- For an internal-only calendar: Calendar → Time
- Click Save to store the per-calendar widget order.
This calendar will now display in the custom order even if the location-level widget order is different.
Best Practices for GoHighLevel Widget Ordering
When deciding how to structure your booking flow, keep these best practices in mind:
- Minimize steps for the user: If you only use a single calendar, you may not need to show a calendar selection step at all.
- Group similar decisions together: For example, let users pick the appointment type first, then immediately see times available for that type.
- Match your funnel copy: If your landing page copy promises “Choose your call type, then pick a time,” ensure the GoHighLevel calendar widget follows that same order.
- Test on mobile: Preview your pages on mobile devices to confirm the new order is intuitive and easy to navigate.
Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Calendar Widget Order
If your changes do not appear as expected, review the following checks:
- Clear browser cache and refresh the page or test in an incognito window.
- Confirm you saved both the location-level and individual calendar settings after making changes.
- Check for overrides: If a calendar has its own widget order enabled, it will override the location-level GoHighLevel widget order.
- Verify embed codes: Make sure the correct calendar is embedded on your funnel or website page.
If issues remain, compare your setup with the official GoHighLevel documentation and confirm that your interface matches the described features.
Where to Use Your Reordered GoHighLevel Calendar Widget
After you have configured the widget order, you can embed the calendar in several places:
- GoHighLevel funnels and websites
- External websites via calendar embed code
- Membership areas and internal booking pages
Each location will now display the calendar steps in the sequence you configured, giving visitors a consistent and optimized booking experience.
