ical import errors

[Daniel James]

We imported the ical feeds from several meetup groups onto our calendar.

We wanted to change the categories for the imported events in bulk and thought it would be easier to delete the events and re-import.

Unfortunately, now the events will not import and the ical plugin is throwing back errors.

Are we missing a setting to overwrite/update events that is causing the error, or is there another work-around?

Thanks!

Sorry to hear about this @Daniel James!

I’m curious about two things, for starters:

First, can you share your system information with us? Here’s how to do so → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Next, can you elaborate a bit on your following comment:

Unfortunately, now the events will not import and the ical plugin is throwing back errors.

Can you share what some of those errors are, specifically? If you can include screenshots of your issues, even better! (You can do that by uploading screenshots to Imgur.com, then sharing links to those images here).

Thank you!
George

Thanks for posting that information @Daniel James! I tried an import myself and was met with this response:

Do you have any filters in place? Any keywords, for example? Any specified location? If so, does removing these filters make any difference?

Now, what’s also interesting is that if I just go to that ical URL directly, which downloads the .ics file, and then I try importing this file instead of doing it via URL, the import works fine. Here’s a screenshot of the results for example → https://cloudup.com/cfjygBkp2kN

Weird!
