    I just purchased Events Aggregator, and when I try to import events from my Google Calendar, I get the error message

    “Events could not be imported. The URL provided did not have events in the proper format.”

    Where is the issue?

    Hello Hillel,

    Thanks for using our plugins and welcome to the forums!

    I’m sorry you are having issues with importing. Let me try to help you get that fixed.

    To start I would like to ask for 2 things.

    Can you share with me the URL / feed that you are trying to import? I would like to run some tests with it.

    Please, share your system information with me in a private reply. This will give me a bit of an overview of your setup which might help pinpoint the source of the issue.

    Thanks and cheers,
    Andras

    Hi Hillel,

    Thanks for sharing all that!

    I believe I found the issue.

    The url / feed you are trying to import is a generic google calendar URL. When I clicked on it, then it opened my google calendar. 🙂

    You can get the url which is specific to your calendar like this:

    • in your calendar click on the cogwheel at the top right, then on ‘Settings’
    • on the top left you’ll see 3 tabs, click on ‘Calendars’
    • You will see a ‘CALENDAR’ section, choose the calendar you want to import
    • You will see a row with ‘Private address’ and a green ‘ICAL’ button (screenshot). Right click on the button and select ‘Copy link location’ (or similar)
    • Now you have the url that you will need to paste into the Event Aggregator import URL box

    Try if this does the trick.

    Cheers,
    Andras
