Hi Hunter,

I have tested for conflicts and found none.

I have found additional bugs related to .ics exports of multiple events this time in Outlook Calendar.

All bugs seem to point to a lack of Timezone information in the .ics download. Google Calendar and Outlook calendar cannot import a series of events at the correct times – they all throw the times off by a few hours – seems they all revert them to UTC-0.

The .ics should include timezone information in the head and it doesn’t. The line that is missing begins with VTIMEZONE

For the purpose of troubleshooting we need a control subject. So let’s ignore my specific site settings – and look at a neutral site: The Demo calendar over on The Event calendar site itself.

Now do a test yourself with the Demo calendar – download this file to get a month’s worth of events http://wpshindig.com/events/?ical=1&tribe_display=month

1. Import the calendar into Google. Step by step: Open Google Calendar, in sidebar select “other calendars” then “import calendar”. Import the .ics file. Do you see the events at the correct time? I don’t. I see times off by 6 hours (I’m in eastern timezone)

2. Import the .ics into Microsoft office. Do you also get an error “content conversion failed”? I do.

Curious to hear if you can recreate the bug. Then we can call it what it is and solve it (:
