Modified Meetup Events Creating Duplicates

[jmkreege]

I have a recurring event scheduled on Meetup which is imported into TEC. After changing the recurring event start time in Meetup, I now have duplicates in TEC. One event shows the old start time, and the other event is listed at the new start time.

To solve this, I’ve just gone through and deleted all events by that Meetup organizer group and will start another import, but this is not a practical solution to the issue going forward.

Hi @jmkreege,

Sorry to here you’ve hit up against difficulties.

If you can bear with us while we poke at this, we’ll do our best to get back to you as quickly as we can 🙂

This is actually worse than I originally noticed. Cancelled Meetup events remain in TEC as active events, so the calendar requires constant monitoring to check for both duplicate and cancelled events.

This is currently a severe limitation of Event Aggregator that should be clearly stated on the product page.

I’ve created a thread in the Event Aggregator forum since this seems to be an issue with that plugin

We’re the same team, so not a problem – but we’ll go ahead and close this one and help you out over there instead 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
