Hey Guys,
I got access to the area where the iCal feed is created and was able to slice it up into smaller, individual category feeds. Everything appears to be working.
Thanks for all your time.
Marking this as resolved.

So we now know it is something to do with the feed being imported.
Couple questions:
Do you have an idea of how many events can be imported from a URL?
Let’s say I do import a calendar, and then it re-imports in a week — will events be overwritten with new information like if the location changed in the ics import, will my website calendar get that new info?
Thanks,

I have requested a different URL to a feed for only the next 10 – 15 days to test and see if that resolves the issue.
I guess the issue I have is that nowhere do you guys say anything about a limit on the number of events being imported. 316 just doesn’t seem like all that much especially considering they import from the file just fine. Has nobody ever used this to import a couple hundred events before? Was that not part of the testing for the plugin?
In my opinion, the number of events just can’t be the issue. I am requesting the smaller feed just to rule it out.

I have zero problems when importing the entire file. It takes about 2-3 seconds and then displays all events from the starting date that I set (316 items to be exact with today as the start date). Importing the file has never failed or given me an error.
The problem is that it doesn’t work from the URL — it only works when I use a file.
In my initial post here, I said that the file works, just not the URL.
I am not sure where we got off track here and started investigating something that was not the issue.
What are the next steps for figuring out the URL issue?
