Can't import iCal data

[James]

Hello. I have been using Calendar Pro for awhile, recently added Import and all other add-ons but cannot get the importer to work despite finding pages that are clearly iCal-compatible. This one — http://www.palmspringslifefestival.com/event/placido-domingo-and-renee-fleming-accompanied-by-the-los-angeles-opera-orchestra/ — for example, even has an iCal Export button for exporting to Google calendar. But when I try to import it, I get the “No iCal data was found at this URL” error message.

All licenses, keys, etc., are correctly entered. Any ideas?

Additional info: I am not using the multi-site version of WordPress, as are some others who are having similar problems. I just went through the activate/deactivate/switch theme routine again, still with no success.

Just realized I forgot to copy system info. Here it is:

Hey!

Thanks for reaching out to us!

When using the link, try using:

http://www.palmspringslifefestival.com/event/placido-domingo-and-renee-fleming-accompanied-by-the-los-angeles-opera-orchestra/?ical

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

[James]

Hey, Josh, it worked! I managed to import two events by adding the ?ical to the URL — see http://www.palmspringslifefestival.com/event/saks-fifth-avenue-presents-monique-lhuillier/?ical
and http://palmspringsnewswire.com/event/saks-fifth-avenue-presents-monique-lhuillier/

Some of the content was garbled but that may be a separate issue and is something we can easily live with.

I’ll keep pounding on it and see if I can break it again. Thanks so much!

[Josh]

Hey James,

Awesome! I’m glad we were able to get this worked out for you!

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you continue to have issues with the import content please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.

Thanks!
