Google calendar ics not importing cleanly to Events Calendar

[Anthony]

Hello!

When I import my Google Calendar to Events Calendar (either one-time or recurring) I get a few issues:

1. The times of a few events are shifted by a few hours (See “CRAVE Speaker & Games Night” moved from Friday evening on the Google screenshot to Saturday evening on the Events Calendar screenshot and site)

2. Also, “Busy” will show up as an event randomly.

3. Also, I’ve used Adminer to clear everything out and tried multiple imports.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

Good afternoon Anthony and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us and for sharing your system information.

We are sorry to hear about the issues you have been dealing with while using our iCal importer plugin.
I would love to help you with this topic.

1. The times of a few events are shifted by a few hours (See “CRAVE Speaker & Games Night” moved from Friday evening on the Google screenshot to Saturday evening on the Events Calendar screenshot and site)

Could you share with me (in a private reply) what your settings are for WordPress timezone as well as for the Events Calendar (as found in Events -> Settings) ?

The reason I’m asking is because I just went ahead and tried to import the faulty event on my own calendar successfully (with not time shift).

2. Also, “Busy” will show up as an event randomly.

That’s definitely no good. Could you give me a specific example of such an occurence (so that I can try to reproduce the issue) ?

Finally, something worth trying would be to upgrade your plugins (after a backup of your Database) to the following versions (and not the last one):

• the events calendar pro version 4.0.7
• the events calendar version 4.0.7
• the events calendar: ical importer version 4.0.4

You’ll find the past versions for our premium plugins in the download section of your account in this site (https://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/downloads/) and you’ll find the core plugin (The Events Calendar) past versions here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/developers/.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
