Hi Jaime, Thanks. I was just about to update this. I don’t know why it is working now. Yesterday when I went to set up a new import the only option I had was a csv file, the others were ghosted. Today it gave me the options so I removed my old feed and added it back in again. All looks to be okay now. Not sure what was going on before.

Thanks again!

I am pretty sure the deleted events were events I had entered directly (manually) in the events calendar. The events are in the .ics file also but it doesn’t bring them into the events calendar with the import. We only use the one feed from the .ics to the events calendar. It might think they were changed but I thought the code we put in would tell the events calendar to update the event to match the .ics file.

I have tested for conflicts and get the same results. I can get you credentials to the site if you want to pop in and take a look at what is going on.

Hi Cliff, I added that code yesterday from a different thread and I think it was working. I just changed the date of my import to go back to 2/20/2015 which is a few days prior to the first day of the recurring event series and hit import again but it removed more of my calendar events.

I really appreciate your quick responses. We have some events starting tomorrow that I need to get back on the calendar (:

Hi Cliff, Thank you! It looks like the events calendar removed the events on Saturdays and Sundays that I was talking about. They are still in the outlook .ics file we use to import. Is there a setting I can use to get them back? I just tried to manually import them back in. I think at one point I had deleted them then added some code I saw in another thread.

/*
 * Prevents iCal importer from saving a copy of "deleted" events
 */
function tribe_ical_dont_save_deleted () {
    $ical_importer = Tribe__Events__Ical_Importer__Main::instance();
    remove_action( 'before_delete_post', array( $ical_importer, 'deletedEventSave' ) );
}
add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'tribe_ical_dont_save_deleted' );

I think I was able to narrow this down a bit. I created a new recurring event in the events calendar (not imported) starting on 2/21/2016 and made it go on for many years recurring every Sunday and the time changes from 10am to 9am on starting March 20th then changes back to 10am on November 6th

Both 3/30 and 11/6 are days we adjust our clocks for daylight savings time.

Daylight Saving Time (United States) 2016 begins at 2:00 AM on Sunday, March 13 and ends at 2:00 AM on Sunday, November 6

Thank you for your fast replies. Yes that is what I am trying to do but I am fairly new at this, do you have any screen shots or a way for me to navigate to this file? I am not able to locate it. I went to plugins>editor> and selected each of the calendars but the file name is different the-events-calendar-importer-ical/the-events-calendar-ical-importer.php and I didnt see anything about the tribe_events_ical_importer_overwrite_existing_events filter

any additional guidance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
