How to Fix Extra HTML in GoHighLevel Calendar Embeds

If you see unwanted code or unrelated text in an embedded calendar, this step-by-step guide explains how to resolve it in GoHighLevel. Although tools like ClickUp manage projects, your calendar display issues are controlled directly inside your website builder and scheduling settings, not a task app. Follow the instructions below to clean up the calendar embed so it appears correctly on your site.

Understanding the GoHighLevel Calendar Embed Issue

When embedding a calendar from GoHighLevel into a web page, some users notice extra HTML, strange symbols, or unrelated text showing above or below the booking widget. This usually happens because of how the embed code is placed or how the page editor handles script and HTML blocks.

The core calendar widget is typically working, but the page around it may be misconfigured. The good news is that the issue is almost always on the website side and not in the calendar itself.

Common Causes of Extra HTML Around GoHighLevel Calendars

Before you change anything, understand the most frequent reasons this problem appears. The following causes are based on the original GoHighLevel help documentation and typical page-builder behaviors.

  • Calendar embed code pasted into the wrong type of content block.
  • Text editors converting script tags into visible text.
  • Security or formatting filters stripping or altering HTML.
  • Mixing multiple embed snippets in the same element.
  • Theme or plugin conflicts in your site builder.

Knowing these causes will help you focus your troubleshooting steps and avoid repeating the same mistake each time you embed a calendar.

Step-by-Step: Troubleshooting a GoHighLevel Calendar Embed

Use the following process to find and fix the layout problem. Work through the steps in order and test after each change so you know exactly what resolved the issue.

Step 1: Confirm the Correct GoHighLevel Embed Code

  1. Open your GoHighLevel account and navigate to the calendar you want to embed.
  2. Locate the official embed or widget code provided for that calendar.
  3. Copy the entire snippet exactly as shown, making sure you include all opening and closing tags.

Do not modify the script or HTML provided. Any small change can cause parts of the code to appear as visible text on your web page.

Step 2: Use a Proper HTML or Code Block

The most common reason extra HTML appears is pasting the embed into a regular text area instead of a code block.

In your website builder or CMS:

  1. Edit the page where you want the calendar to appear.
  2. Locate the section or element that currently contains the calendar embed.
  3. Delete any existing code or text that is showing incorrectly.
  4. Add a dedicated HTML, code, or custom script block (the exact name depends on your platform).
  5. Paste the GoHighLevel embed code inside that block only.

A proper HTML or code widget ensures the script is executed by the browser instead of displayed as text to visitors.

Step 3: Remove Extra Formatting and Styling Tags

If you previously pasted the embed code inside a rich text editor, it may be wrapped with additional elements like <p>, <span>, or <pre> tags. These can force parts of the script to render as visible characters.

To clean this up:

  • Switch the editor to “HTML” or “code” view, if available.
  • Remove any extra tags before or after the official calendar embed snippet.
  • Ensure the only content in this block is the original GoHighLevel embed.

After saving, refresh the live page and confirm that the extra HTML or text has disappeared.

Step 4: Check for Conflicting Scripts Near the GoHighLevel Embed

Sometimes unrelated scripts or widgets placed too close to the calendar can interfere with how the page renders.

  1. Review other scripts or embeds in the same section or column.
  2. Temporarily remove any nonessential widgets around the calendar.
  3. Update and preview the page.

If the extra HTML disappears after removing a nearby widget, you have identified a conflict. Keep the calendar in its own clean HTML block and reintroduce other scripts gradually, making sure they do not overlap or alter the calendar container.

Step 5: Test in a Fresh Page or Layout

If you still see unrelated text or code, test the embed in a clean environment.

  1. Create a new blank page or section in your site builder.
  2. Add a single HTML or code element.
  3. Paste the original GoHighLevel embed code.
  4. Publish or preview that test page.

If the calendar displays correctly on the new page, the issue is tied to your previous layout, theme styling, or page-specific scripts.

Best Practices for Clean GoHighLevel Calendar Embeds

To avoid future problems and keep your booking widget clean and professional, follow these simple best practices whenever you work with calendar embeds.

  • Always use a dedicated HTML or code block for calendar scripts.
  • Avoid pasting embed code into rich text areas that auto-format content.
  • Do not alter the original embed snippet from GoHighLevel.
  • Keep one calendar embed per block to minimize conflicts.
  • Test after each change and review on both desktop and mobile.

These habits ensure that the calendar code is interpreted correctly by the browser and not treated as regular text.

Summary: Clean Up Your GoHighLevel Calendar Display

Unwanted HTML or unrelated text around your calendar is almost always caused by how the embed code is inserted into your page, not by a failure in the scheduling system itself. By placing the GoHighLevel embed in a proper HTML block, removing extra formatting tags, and isolating it from conflicting scripts, you can restore a clean, professional booking experience for your visitors.

Use this troubleshooting checklist each time you add a new calendar to a page so your GoHighLevel embeds stay consistent and error-free across your entire site.
