How do we get events to import into an Outlook calendar without creating a whole new calendar? I looked at all the other postings about this question and have not found a working solution. If anyone knows how to make this work, please share. Thank you!
You can try the code at this gist, https://gist.github.com/afragen/2831526
Be aware that this will make subscription in ical or google calendars a little screwy. If you or your users only use Outlook then all should be fine.
@Andy Fragen
Thanks for your reply. I tried the code at Gist and it didn’t work for my Outlook-using client. You put it in functions.php, right? Also, we have users who use other calendars besides Outlook so that presents a problem, as well.Yes, it goes in functions.php
Surprising that is didn’t work for your Outlook user as it has for others. Yes, it will mess it up for non-Outlook users. Sorry, not many other ideas.Thanks, Andy. Unfortunately, a lot of people still use Outlook in the business world so we really need that functionality. We had it working onone of our sites a while back by putting this code in the single.php and gridview.php files in the plugin editor but they seem to have stopped working even though we have not updated:
<a title="” class=”ical” href=””>
<a href="” class=”gcal-add” title=””>
You can use a service like Pastebin or Gist (like Andy did) and just paste the link to the code in here. Sorry for the inconvenience – one day soon we hope to make it easier to add code directly in the forum 🙂
You might also consider making a feature request over on our UserVoice page for Outlook integration:
