    Hi there,
    We were previously using the iCal Importer add-on for The Events Calendar but it was missing one critical piece – it wouldn’t delete events that were previously imported when they were deleted from the source Google Calendar feed. By chance, does the new Event Aggregator add-on have this functionality?

    Thanks much,
    Heather

    Hey Heather,

    Thanks for reaching out about this, I’m happy to help! 🙂

    I believe the Events Aggregator plugin updates all event data as frequently as you set it to run imports (the lowest manual setting is 30 min). The good new is, because you’re a legacy user of the iCal Importer, there’s a license key in your dashboard that will allow you to test out Events Aggregator & its functionality before committing. 🙂

    Simply insert the key in the plugin settings, and save. Then you’ll be able to import with the EA functionality by going to Events>Import.

    Hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions or need clarification. 🙂

     

    Best,

    Hi Shelby,

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately my Events Calendar Pro license code expired on 10/12 so I can’t test this first. We have a 7 site multisite so really don’t want to renew the license unless I know for sure that events deleted on the source ical feed will delete events previously imported. The ical Importer extension did not do this, and the only way we can stay with Events Calendar is if this new extension will do this.

    Would it be possible to extend the license I have by a month just so I can test this week? That would be awesome. Let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks much!

    Hi Heather,

    Sure! I went ahead and activated your license for the rest of the month so that you are able to test this out. 🙂

    Best,

    Shelby 🙂
