Duplicate Event Listing

[redsecuritas]

Hi – sorry if this is also somewhere in the documentation. But I am having duplicate events in Facebook and on our Events page.

If I create an event on FB, does it automatically create an event on our website calendar?

Also, vice versa…if I create an event on the calendar, does it automatically create an event on FB (waiting under “We import events from our partners to save you time and help you sell tickets. Edit or approve them to share with followers.”

Same thing for an event created by one of our performers…it seems to want to import automatically to FB (which I realize is not your problem…but also it’s seeming to appear on our Events Calendar).

Hi redsekcuritas,

Thanks for reaching out!

Our plugins / Event Aggregator does not push events to Facebook or anywhere else. It can only import events. So if you create an event with The Events Calendar, that doesn’t get pushed to Facebook by The Events Calendar / EA.

There might be a 3rd-party solution that does that for you.

Do you have any imports set up that would import events from Facebook?

What I can imagine happening is:

• The event gets created on Facebook
• your site imports that
• some 3rd party solution pushes that to Facebook
• your site imports that newly pushed event

And you end up with duplicates.

If you can, please share your system information with me in a private reply.

Cheers,
Andras
