I need to link an office outlook calendar into my website. The calendar in outlook is used often by a lot of people and is constantly being updated and added to . I need the calendar in word press to also update in order to show new or added events. For this reason I do no think that saving the calendar as an .ics and importing it will work. Is there a way to do this, and can it be achieved with your plugin? thanks so much for your help!
Hello Sapling and thanks for getting in touch!
It is definitely possible to upload an .ics file into The Events Calendar and use that import events from your other calendar.
Our iCal Importer add-on does exactly that. you can upload an .ics file to it, or enter in the URL of a valid and hosted .ics file and it can schedule events to import automatically.
Does that sound like what you’re looking for? Please let me know if you have any other questions and I’d be happy to help.
Cheers!
GeoffThank you for your timely response, i think that add on could be what i need. If I save the calendar as a .ics will that file continues to update?
My pleasure, happy that helps!
A static .ics file will not update on a scheduled/recurring basis. However, if the Outlook calendar has a publicly .ics file that is hosted, then the URL for it can be used to create those scheduled imports, which will automatically check for new events on a frequency you get to decide. 🙂
Cheers!
