Not showing events from facebook page

[abtion]

Hi

I have setup the plugin with correct App ID and App Secret.
The facebook app is also created, just as your guide states: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/configuring-facebook-events/.

When trying to import events, it says:
Slagelse Motionsklub does not have any Facebook events

But, the page “Slagelse Motionsklub” do have a lot of events.

What I am not sure I understand is, how is the connection between the facebook app I created and the facebook page?
I have not connected these, but I assume it is not possible?

Hey Bo and sorry for the trouble here!

Quick question: is the Facebook page and the events on it public or private? Just checking because the plugin is only able to import public events from public pages.

If the page and its events are public, will you please provide me the link so I can test it myself?

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Geoff

I did not think of that, but it seems to be public.
Are you able to see all events here https://www.facebook.com/SlagelseMotionsklub/events ?

Hi Bo,

Ah, I see what’s happening here! That Facebook page is public but there are no upcoming events on the page. In fact, I see the last event took place in 2014.

The Facebook Events importer looks specifically for new, upcoming events. However, if you want to import past events, you can still do that by entering the in event IDs for them in the Events > Import: Facebook screen.

Cheers!
Geoff

Haha – damn. I really apologize. I did not see that they were past events 🙂

[Geoff]

No worries at all! It actually looks pretty easy to miss. 🙂

Cheers and thanks again for reaching out–feel free to hit us back up if any other questions pop up.
