Ical importer not importing categories

[Cubica Multimedia]

Hi, we are using ical importer from The events calendar plugin, but the categories aren´t importing well.

It seems to import the same number of categories but the title is empty and the slug is a number

Hi,

Sorry for the issues you are having. I can help troubleshoot this with you.

Can you share the link for the iCal feed so I can check it out and see what is going on? You can add it as a private reply.

Let me know and we can go from here.

Thanks

Hi,

I looked at that feed and it does not include any of the ICAL fields for categories so they would not be imported as there is none to find.

That is a feed generated by the Events Calendar correct?

[Cubica Multimedia]

Yes it is. The problem is when we import the events, the categories are created but the title is empty and not assigned to any event.

Here is another url feed from a category that we used.

Ok,

I am not exactly sure where you mean.

You mean the Category you choose when you setup a recurring even? Or the one that is suppose to import?

Do you have any image of the issue?

Also, I did not see the other feed url.

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

So both feeds do not have categories in the iCal feed itself so it should only add the category you choose when setting up a recurring import. Otherwise it will not have a category for the events.

I am not clear then how those categories are getting there with the number slug.

I tried importing both feeds and it did not reproduce the error.

Those categories are also not assigned to anything so it is strange they would be created by the import and not assigned at least one event.

If you delete those categories do they keep coming back daily per your recurring import schedule?
