Looks like there’s not an automated path to update in the plugin screen to 3.12? I just went in and checked again and it’s not reporting any updates for iCal importer. Is it just a download and install over top ?
Hi George,
So we are running a “Multi-Site” implementation of WordPress with the multi-site licensing event calendar pro, so each school site has their own implementation of the event calendar pro. For our nutrition menu calendar we look at the District site as the “master” calendar to pull from, then at the school site levels we run the ical importer function to pull from 4 specific categories at the district level. Those categories are populated by our nutrition department at the district level. This creates basically a hub and spoke way to get the nutrition calendars automatically to the school site calendars without having to import the csv file to each school site individually. Our nutrition team imports the menu’s via CSV import to the district level, then all other school sites are ical importing those categories and events automatically to their own calendars.
When we first got it running about a month ago all seemed to work fine, the ical import is setup for 1 daily import for the respective category that is at the district level. The ical importer points to the district page.com/events/category/nutrition-breakfast/ical or district page.com/events/category/nutrition-lunch/ical to pull the lunch and breakfast information and dump it to the school calendar’s in the same categories. It started out working fine pulling just the events that are in those particular categories. But about a week ago we started noticing that the import was pulling all event items from the district level including importing other event items, categories and placing those events and categories automatically at the school level.
It seems like it’s all somehow linked to the ical importer, I ended up trying to recreate those ical imports but it still exhibited the same behavior, copying many many unwanted events and categories from the district site.
