ICS Import displays incorrect "End Time"

[Brian]

Hi,
I am importing data via an .ics file in Event Aggregator.
Here is an example of an event my .ics file :

BEGIN:VEVENT

DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20161116T100000Z

SUMMARY:Traceability Workshop – Port Perry (Day 2)<span>217</span><br/><small> View Day 1</small>

Hello!

I wanted to share the news that a fix has finally arrived for these issues—these sorts of imports should work properly now.

Thanks so much for your patience here!

Grab the 4.3.4 update from today to get this bug fix. Learn more about the 4.3.4 release here.

Cheers!

George,

I am afraid I am having the exact same issue with 4.3.4.1.

Hey Julie,

I notice your WordPress version is 4.6.1 — does upgrading to the latest version, 4.7, help at all here?

Thanks,
George

George,
I am testing in our sandbox environment where I have updated to 4.7.
No change … end time always match start times.

Hey Brian,

I’m so sorry about this, but I actually misfired in my initial post about this and have confirmed with our development team that this bug fix is actually still in its final stages of testing—it has not launched yet.

My apologies!

It should still be arriving soon nonetheless—stay tuned to this thread and to our product news for updates!

Sincerely,

Hi there,

Just wanted to inform that the fix for this issue has been finally pushed to the Event Aggregator server! There’s no need to update the plugins, although I recommend using the latest version of The Events Calendar.

Thanks so much for the patience while we worked on this 🙂

Please let us know if this is working as expected for you,
Best,
Nico
