iCal "all day" events being added twice

[FrNinos]

I created all day events in my google calendar. When importing via iCal importer, it adds the all day event twice, once for each day.

For example, if I create an all day event called “Party” for Saturday. It will add the event on Saturday and Sunday.

Good evening and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the all day event being imported twice.
I would love to help you with this topic.

By your description, it sounds like this might be a timezone issue.
Would you mind providing (in a private reply if you prefer):

• A URL link to your site with the duplicated event
• A link to your Google Calendar
• Your WordPress timezone setting
• Your the Events Calendar timezone setting as found in Events -> Settings -> General

That way I can perform some additional tests and help you out better.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Hello Geoff,

Thanks for your reply. I created an test entry for an all day event in the month of August. Here are the items you requested:

Good evening,

Thank you for creating the test event and for sharing all of that information. It is super helpful in finding the cause of the issue.

While looking at this in greater detail, I think the issue might be caused by the fact that at the Google Calendar level, the event’s start and end time are: Tue, August 2, 2016, 12am – Wed, August 3, 2016, 12am which technically means it carries over to the following day.

In any case, there is a bug ticket opened for that to which I am going to add this thread. Unfortunately, I cannot commit to a release date at this point. But stay tuned, you will be contacted as soon as there is a resolution for it.

In the meantime, would you mind telling me if the problem persists when using the “use the local timezones for each event” setting instead of sitewide ?

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Hi there,

Just wanted to inform that maintenance release 4.1.3 is out. The update includes a fix for this issue.

Please update the plugins to the latest version and re-test to see if the fix works for you.

Best,
Nico
