Facebook Import tab not showing all events from a FB page

[dswiese]

My page https://www.facebook.com/datethyme/events has quite a few more events than are showing on the import page. Was there a recent change to filter out some events?

Hi there Sean,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! I don’t think there has been a recent change in the codebase, the actual product version is 4.2 release 06/08/2016.

I think the Facebook API might be restricting those events from being imported. As the Facebook add-on page states: “Please also note: You may not be able to import events that Facebook deems adult in nature, including breweries, bars, night clubs, and adult entertainment. The Facebook API dictates that only public, unrestricted events are importable at this time.”.

Do you think this might be the case?

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Its entirely possible that is the case, but my previous experience has been that the import page shows all events listed on a FB page, even before you try to do the import.
To clarify, even the listing of events it finds on my page is significantly lower than it has been in the past.
It used to show all 100 or so. I can probably even find events not currently listed that were previously imported.
Will check on that later today.

PS: not sure what happened to the title of my post

Thanks for the follow up Sean! I updated the thread title – I was a bit curious about it 🙂

Please let me know when you can take a closer look to this,
Best,

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
