When all said and done, there were over 4,000 events!<\/p>\n<p>2) Come to find out, your plugin duplicated many of the same events. I have spent hours reading your website and there is nothing that tells me about this issue except one post from back in 2012. (I finally found that using a Google search as nothing would come up regarding the topic using the search engine on your site. Very frustrating!!)<\/p>\n<p>3) Now I have over 1,000 events that need to be deleted. There is NOTHING that tells me how I delete an entire category of events without having to manually delete events in the WP admin interface. So here I am 2.5 hours into manually deleting all events (with 600 to go) to try and wipe out the initial import and re-import events again and hope nothing duplicates. My client is VERY unhappy with me and your plugin at this point as I thought originally it had something to do with their Google Calendar, but turns out, it has to do with the iCal Importer.  Thanks guys for no documentation on this.<\/p>\n<p>4) So far, your plugin has brought me nothing but headaches and wasted hours of my time. It would be kind of you to at least offer chat support.
