Problem importing from ICS files

[Jason Pomerleau]

Hi there, I just purchased this extension but am having some trouble importing from ICS files. I’ve attached a sample file, but I’ve tried with a number of others downloaded from the same site and seem to be having the same issue.

When I click the Preview button, I get the message:
Your preview doesn’t have any records to import.

This is the site where I’m generating the ICS files:
http://acwr.net/explore-the-arts/calendar/

You can export any of these events by clicking on one, and then clicking the ADD TO CALENDAR button, then the ADD TO OTHER CALENDAR selection which generates the ICS.

Hi, Jason. I downloaded that .ics file and opened it into a text editor: https://cl.ly/8e5c416bd8ee

It only has 1 event in it, which starts on Feb 16, 2018 and ends on Sept 30, 2018 (that’s a long event!)

I’m guessing you didn’t change the date search field or settings to search as far back as Feb 2018 (7 months ago). You can input a custom date per each import and also see wp-admin > Events > Settings > Imports.

Please let me know how this goes for you.

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!
