Facebook Event Calendar

[Rona]

Hello
We are a music venue/nightclub. We are interested in using your product to import our Facebook events to our website.
However, you mention on your product page the following regarding nightclubs:
“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 offer a trial basis for me to see if you will be able to import our events?
I would also like to see how our events would display.
Also, we have an image attached to each day. Would the attached image be able to display on calendar display? Its just one image per calendar day.
If this helps answer my questions above our facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/substationseattle/.

Thank you!

Hi there Rona,

Thanks for your interest in our products 🙂

I think the plugin won’t work for your page due to the Facebook API restriction. While we do not offer a trial period, we have a 30-day refund policy so you can go ahead and buy the plugin to review it. If after testing it you decide it’s not the best option for your site then you can request a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Images are imported, you are covered on that front but you should give a try and see if you are happy with how imported events look like. On that same note, you can check how the calendar looks like in our demo site: http://wpshindig.com/events/ , it uses a basic theme, but I think you’ll get the idea.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you,
Best,
Nico

Hi again

Thank you for your response!
Please excuse my ignorance… but what do you mean by “plugin won’t work for your page due to the Facebook API restriction” ?
Sorry , I am not a programmer , just a business owner trying to create their own website. Could you explain that to me in layman terms?
I would like to try your plugin – keeping in mind the 30 day trial- but if you think it wont work in the long term I rather know.
Thanks so much!
Rona

Thanks for following-up Rona,

“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.”

Basically Facebook API (the way our plugin connects with Facebook data) has a restriction for adult / night / bars / night clubs, so it mostly sure won’t work for those types of events. If your site / business is all about those type of events, then it won’t be the best option. You can always re-create the events in your calendar but if you were looking to import all for those from Facebook then I guess it won’t work for you. Again this is a limitation on the Facebook side and unfortunately there’s not much we can do about it.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you,
Best,
Nico
