Auto ICS Import – Deleted/Updated Events

[177rcacsevents]

Hi Everyone,

We recently purchased the events/aggregator plugins.

We have a scheduled import of a .ics file, that is referenced live.

New events work well overall, but if an event is updated or canceled in the live/web calendar, it does not seem to get updated or removed from the plugin/wordpress side.

Is there a way/should the events delete and update?

Let me know if I can provide any details that help out, if we can get it going well we plan on getting quite a few licenses over the next couple years.

Let us know, Best Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

Did you check this thread?

In that topic my colegue Cliff explains exactly how the import process works:

“If an event from Google Calendar gets modified, it would modify the WordPress event (depending on your settings within the plugin) — like change from Saturday to Sunday. However, if it gets entirely deleted from Google Calendar, the Saturday event won’t be modified at all within WordPress.”

You can decide what happens to events in your site if they are re-imported by accessing your Dashboard and heading over to Events -> Settings -> Imports -> Event Update Authority.

In this case I would recommend you to choose the first option: Overwrite my event with any changes from the original.

We have a feature request to Delete events from WordPress when deleted from the source here.

I would recommend adding your vote there. This allows us to gauge interest in this particular feature request, which helps us prioritize our development efforts.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll be happy to assist!

Best Regards,

Patricia

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
