    I purchased the iCal importer extension today thinking this would be a simple way to fill up my calendar with “chosen” events for my target audience….Maybe thiese are dumb questions, but I am completely new to this (or any event calendar for that matter) so I possibly need more instruction than most.

    1. Where do I find the iCal URL for the calendars I would like to import?

    2. How do I find out if they even use an Ical calendar? I’ve looked in several page sources to no avail. What am I looking for?

    3. Do i have to search every single calendar in the city to see if one or more of them actually use the ICal feed?

    I’m stuck…HELP! 🙂

    Howdy Rebekah,

    Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us. I’ll help you out on this!

    1. Where do I find the iCal URL for the calendars I would like to import?

    Not all calendar websites offer an iCal feed for you to subscribe / import events from. It’s a bit like an RSS feed, some site ofeer it and other don’t.

    2. How do I find out if they even use an Ical calendar? I’ve looked in several page sources to no avail. What am I looking for?

    I guess this is similar to the first question. Take a look at this site: http://calagator.org/ – it offers an iCal feed for different sections of the site.

    3. Do i have to search every single calendar in the city to see if one or more of them actually use the ICal feed?

    Have you tried Googling ‘-City Name- ical events feed’, most of the times government / public institutions offer feeds to suscribe to news and events. But again this depends 100% on the site.

    Please let me know if this answers your question,
    Best,
    Nico

    Thank you Nico!

    I have found several calendars that will be of use to my audience. It took me a minute, but I was able to find the correct URL for a couple of them so far!

    This is a great plugin now that I know what I’m doing. 🙂
