How to block importing private events

[stonewallcolumbus]

Hi,

We have a large google calendar to track meeting rooms and the private events are also being imported in. Unfortunately they are not meant to be open to the public. They are also recurring events going up to 2 years in advance so doing an “ignore” is very time consuming.

Is there a way to block importing events marked as “private” on Google Calendar imports with Events Aggregator?

Thank you,
Nancy

Hi Nancy!

Thank you for reaching out to our premium plugin support forums. I was unsure on how Event Aggregator handled events marked as “Private” in it’s Google Calendar settings, so I went ahead and tested. When the test event I created in Google Calendar was marked as “Private”, the preview did not display my test event in Event Aggregator. When I changed the event from “Private” to “Public” in Google Calendar, the test event did appear in the Event Aggregator preview and I was able to import the event.

I’m a little unsure on how to proceed in regards to support due to the inability to replicate the behavior you’ve experienced. I also checked our logged bug/feature reports to see if anything resembles your issue, but came up empty-handed.

I would probably start by reviewing our Testing for conflicts guide to see if there is a potential theme and/or plugin conflict.

Thanks again and have a great Wednesday. Cheers!
