Importer is working for some facebook pages but not others

[Jennifer]

I just learned about the FB api changes and was trying to resolve how this might affect my site.

I’m not quite clear on why some imports are showing as “successful” and others not.

Additionally, based on the Modern Tribe writeup I would think I should be able to import from my own FB page but that isn’t working. It is showing as a successful import but not pulling in any new events.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

Facebook recently announced a range of changes (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/04/restricting-data-access/) to their APIs (the protocols we use to ‘speak’ to their servers and retrieve event information) which are having an affect on a number of our users.

We are currently figuring things out as they continue to evolve with the Facebook Privacy Policy. For now, the best places to check in on the status of our plugin’s access to Facebook are https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/ea-fb-privacy-policy/ and https://theeventscalendar.com/event-aggregator-status/.

If your scheduled imports are still working, then you would need an Event Aggregator license to continue to keep those scheduled imports.

If you are interested in a refund, you can fill out the refund form https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/refund-policy/.

We really would like to work with you on this. Would you be interested in a license for the remaining time for one of our other plugins instead of a refund?

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

 

Thanks,

Jaime
