How to import a google calendar

[roger coryell]

Your docs don’t match what I see on my screen. The “import” interface is cluttered and confusing. And every time I try to import https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/westcountyservices.org_h7b25g7hajlschjo6r9jaskbno%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics I get an error message. Please clarify or give me an immediate refund.

Hi @rcoryell,

Oh gosh, I’m so sorry for the early trouble out of the gate here with importing from Google Calendar!

I’m happy to look into this with you.

I tried importing events from the URL you shared and it seemed to work correctly. Would you be willing to let me know if what you see in the following screencast I put together matches up with the same steps you are following to import and the interface?

You mention specifically an error message. Would you be so kind as to share what it is — I’m hoping that gives me a further clue for why I would be able to import using the same URL while you are not.

Thanks so much!

Geoff

The admin screen I see for import is different and confusing. See screenshot. When I try to find one of these many fields that will support an ical URL

{“success”:false,”data”:{“message”:”Please provide the URL that you wish to import.”}}

Thanks for following up!

Oh geez, that looks like either a conflict in the WordPress admin or possibly a corrupted file somewhere.

Would you be willing to share your system information with me so I can check your installed versions and plugin settings? You can get the system information by heading to Events > Help, copying the information in the System Information section and pasting it here as a private reply.

I’d be happy to take a look at that and make some recommendations from there.

Thanks so much,
Geoff
