Can’t get Google maps to display on import

[Christopher]

I have tried the steps above, even manually checking the Google map links in individual posts, and I can’t get the maps to display in any of the posts I have imported.

I am using the manual workaround of resetting theevent locations after import.

Hi Christopher!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Let me try to help you with that.

Are you experiencing this with all the imports or only when importing from a Google Calendar?

If that is only happening while importing from a Google Calendar or any other ics file, then it’s default behaviour. As the ics file format only states one field for the venue, Event Aggregator will use that field to create a venue and assign that field to the venue name, thus leaving the address fields empty.

So, the only workaround to import the venues from an ics format and getting them to show the Google Maps, would be to edit the venues after the import and filling the address fields.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

Best,
Victor

That’s what I ultimately discovered. Thanks. Is there a way you could add
that functionality in upcoming releases?

Hi Christopher!

Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about it because that’s how the ICS format is built, which is only having one field that can be fetched as venue, so Event Aggregator assigns it to the venue name.

Perhaps you are thinking to accomplish this in a way that I’m not aware of, so feel free to share that idea with us and we may be able to come up with something to make that happen.

Let us know about it 🙂

Best!
Victor
