Facebook page have numeric value, will not import

[John Frenaye]

I am having trouble importing a few calendars from public Facebook pages.

The error I am getting is

Facebook API Error returned for Middleton-Tavern-109160135776868: (#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: Middleton-Tavern-109160135776868Facebook API Error returned for OBriens-Steak-House-112408952103412: (#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: OBriens-Steak-House-112408952103412Facebook API Error returned for OBs-Prime-108181342544880: (#803) Some of the aliases you requested do not exist: OBs-Prime-108181342544880

What I find is looking at the FB URL the address is facebook.com/Middleton-Tavern-10916…. and I have several that I am trying to import this way. I have similar ones that do not have the numbers after and they import fine.

I am thinking that it may be that the page was never verified or somethign by Facebook, but I cannot figure it out. Any suggestions?

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I’ll help you here…

Can you please try to use the numeric part of the URL? For Middleton-Tavern-109160135776868 → just use 109160135776868. Give it a go this way and please let me know how it goes!

Also, remember that pages are configured in WP-Admin > Events > Import > Import settings while single events are imported by ID in the Facebook tab of the import section.

One more thing, you can only import public unrestricted events! As the Facebook Events product page states: “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”.

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico
