I’ve been able to make it work using a plugin which allows you to set the redirect on the page itself. However I still feel slightly worried about it. I use a service called ManageWP.com, and now I can’t manage that particular site because ManageWP returns an error, saying the domain is 301 redirected. So I’m slightly concerned that the 301 message on the very front page of the domain might not be a good thing for SEO.

I thought of that. My difficulty is, how do you enter the URL of the home page? All the Redirect plugins want you to enter just the page name (so for instance if I wanted to redirect events.bellydanceoz.com/calendar, I’d just enter “/calendar”. So what do I enter for the home page? If I just leave it blank, surely it will redirect the whole site?

Yes, I’ve moved the sidebar content into the footer for now.
I have tried each of the templates and the others are all worse! I think the fact that the theme is responsive may be part of the problem. On reflection, I’m happy to stick with the footer and forget the sidebar, since it displays well that way – so dont worry about it!

Jonah, funnily enough it’s working now. I can only assume it was a problem at the Facebook end. I can manually import events from personal Facebook accounts easily and have imported several since installing the plugin. It’s the auto import that doesn’t work and I understand that it can’t, which is OK

This was happening to me over the weekend but seems to be solved now. I had a couple of photos that failed to import today, but the rest of the event was fine

I’m having the same experience since updating to the latest version. I am trying to manually import personal account events.

I haven’t had the chance to play around with plugins as I’ve been sick. I’m not frequently importing manual events so it’s not a huge deal. However, I am a bit lost as to why you need to display the already imported events at all, so I’d say the best solution is just to get rid of them in a future update! apart from anything else, it’s annoying to have to scroll down past those events to get to the input box.

I’m experiencing this too, with the auto import feature.

[Dorothy]

OK Let me try again.
I’m in the MANUAL import (called Import:Facebook on the Events menu).
I’m trying to manually import individual events that I’ve found on Facebook. I paste the ID’s for those events into the box provided.

However, above that box I can see a list of events that I’ve previously imported using auto import. They each have a check box next to them, but the tick is greyed out so I can’t uncheck them. So when I import the new events, those previously imported events are imported again, too.

The heading above those events actually says “Events from Facebook organizations(s) or page(s) you’ve added:”. I can’t work out why the message is even necessary in the first place, frankly – why would anyone want to check those boxes?

[Dorothy]

Great, thanks.

[Dorothy]

Oops, just to be clear – I’m not talking about auto-importing, I’m talking about Import: Facebook.
The events which are duplicating are ones from pages I set up to auto-import. When I manually import other events, they always show above the data entry box and always get imported again, even though they’re greyed-out.
Loving the plugin otherwise, BTW – I think the site is looking stunning.

Yep Jonah, that’s precisely what I expected to happen – but it’s not what’s happening. The greyed-out events are being imported again. It’s not just a one-off either – I’ve imported events four times now, and each time I have to go into my Events and delete the duplicates.
