iCal Import only works when ‘import all’ used

[Robert]

Hi,

I’m importing 1 event from an ICS file. I set ‘Import Settings’ to publish, go to the iCal import, one-time import and choose ics file.
On selecting the file, it doesn’t actually appear in the Media Library but it’s info shows in the ‘Attachment Details’ pane at the side of where it should be; next time I try it, the file shows in the Library.

After choosing the file and selecting search I can see the event (although sometimes it doesn’t find anything despite being the same file!?).

If I check it and choose ‘Import Selected’ the Import: ICal tab reloads as if I haven’t done anything!

If I go through the procedure again (this time I’m shown the file in the media library!) choose ‘Import all (1)’ then the one event imports successfuly. BTW If I try it again being able to see the icon in the media library, I still can’t tick the one event and import selected.

Any help appreciated as this is way too random for the money!

Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for contacting us and I’m sorry it hasn’t been the smoothest experience so far.

On selecting the file, it doesn’t actually appear in the Media Library but it’s info shows in the ‘Attachment Details’ pane at the side of where it should be; next time I try it, the file shows in the Library.

This is somewhat odd – it shouldn’t really be added to the media library at all – and I’ve logged a report so we can consider revising this. For now though let’s focus on the main issue you reported.

After choosing the file and selecting search I can see the event (although sometimes it doesn’t find anything despite being the same file!?).

If I check it and choose ‘Import Selected’ the Import: ICal tab reloads as if I haven’t done anything!

If I go through the procedure again (this time I’m shown the file in the media library!) choose ‘Import all (1)’ then the one event imports successfuly. BTW If I try it again being able to see the icon in the media library, I still can’t tick the one event and import selected.

I seem unable to replicate these issues – I can consistently select just one (or “all”) events in the source file and successfully import them.

Though I appreciate you already noted as much when you opened the topic, can you confirm that with no other plugins but The Events Calendar and iCal Importer (both on the latest releases) and nothing else but a default, unmodified theme, you hit up against the same problem?
