Hi Brook~

I created a new API key just in case. I also went through and removed all my plugins and re-activated them. The culprit turned out to be “NS Featured Posts” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/ns-featured-posts/) which is seemingly unrelated to facebook in any way. it makes a checkbox in the ‘posts’ section for whether an article is featured; there’s no FB integration there at all.

I’ll notify the author of that plugin about the conflict, hopefully you or they can update to avoid the conflict, as both plugins are valuable to me.

Thanks for all your help!

Thanks Brook.

I am happy to give you admin rights on my website if you’d like to poke around there.

Just a couple of potentially helpful notes: first, I did transfer the key from one domain to another, but both domains pointed to the same locations (I just changed the primary domain in WordPress settings). I also migrated my content from another bistro this one. I installed this version of WordPress using the host’s control panel “instant install” type software. I think that’s everything that is out of the ordinary.

Ok, I included the information in a private reply.

I did update the plugin, and tried again but got the same message. I also tried created an event on one of my own public Facebook pages that is set to auto-import. The Events calendar saw the newly created event, it appears in the “Events from Facebook organizations(s) or page(s) you’ve added:” and shows as “Previously Imported” but I again confirmed that the event was not imported.

The issue persists 🙁 I can also confirm that I did recently generate the Facebook API key (in January of this year). Hope this info helps, let me know if you need anything else!

Expanding a bit, I downloaded a list of all _FacebookID meta_keys from my dB. You can see that none of them match:

No problem Brook, thanks for sticking with me 🙂

I had to modify the query a bit as my tables have a slightly different naming convention, but I got zero results:

MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0127 sec)SQL query:
SELECT *
FROM wp_ggsh_postmeta
WHERE meta_value LIKE ‘%653144334789416%’
ORDER BY post_id DESC
LIMIT 0 , 30

(I ran this through PHPMyAdmin)

Another detail that might help: I recently changed my wordpress site from one domain (www.thequestionblock.com) to another (www.videogamesnorthwest.com) though the website is the same.

I did go through and disconnected the old URL and verify my key on the new URL; in the settings page it says the key is valid, and I confirmed it on the “My Accounts” section of this site.

I don’t know if the two are connected, but I first noticed this problem around the same time that I switched URLs.

Thanks for the steps. I double checked, and the event was not imported. Just to be clear, this happens with every event, not just that one. I tried again with this event ID 365897346941677 which is definitely new and unique (I just heard about it today), and I get the same duplicate message. I have no drafts in the “Events” section, and it is not among the Published events or the 2 “Trash” items.

Thanks for checking up!
