Does the Ical Importer need the Pro Plugin and the Filter Plugin to also be updated? There is no update button for them at this time.
The issue is with your widget. When I install the iCal importer, it requires the Events Calendar be updated to 3.12. However that still leaves Events Calendar Pro and Events Calendar Filter without updates.
The current widget is optimized for the site home page and I want to ensure that if I update it, it wont change again. I just restored the site from this mornings backup. Please walk me through this..
Our site is not using any sidebars at all. Our WordPress team doesnt seem to have the best knowledge on widget coding ability. We dont plan on using any side bars either. I dont understand how the widget is restricted to side bar access. Especially when many newer sites don’t use side bars.
I am importing from a CSV. I mapped all of the fields using the tool that pops up during the import process.
I disabled Dynamic Page Cache and purged the cache as well. However, the widget is still holding on to the expired events.
I forwarded your comment about the widget setup to our development team, though I am skeptical as the person assigned to us has a learning curve on WordPress code.
Thank you for taking the time to work with us on these problems and I know together we will find the right solution. Plus your name George is my last name, so I have even greater faith.
I am also noticing that the uploaded events recorded the start and end times a the same times. How does that get fixed without re-uploading the entire list again?
Small world indeed,
Thank you for getting back to me on the list of issues we are experiencing.
We imported well over 600 events between now and October. On average about 3-4 events per day display on the upcoming events. However, an event starting at 9AM doesn’t come off the list until the end of business day. Even though we imported the start time, end time, date, department and description, we still cant get the upcoming events widget to auto cycle the expired events off the display.

You will see about half way down we had to use the add-on Events Rocket to use the Events Calendar Pro widget on the home page because we are not utilizing a side bar style site. According to our wordpress design and implementation team, this was the only way to show the widget. Now we have limited edit and filter ability with the widget because of this add-on. The website is still in the design/implementation phase and should be launched in the next few weeks. We love the functionality of the events calendar pro, but were hoping the widgets would have worked better with the home page
The sites timezone settings are New York as they should be.
