Pretty happy with this plugin – it seems to be working the way it says on the box… There are a couple of niggles which I’ve seen on the forums here but I don’t seem to be experiencing anything major (touch wood!)<\/p>\n
I installed the plugin and immediately loaded up a whole bunch of FB pages to check. I ran the plugin manually and it pulled some events through – but it also threw up a white page 500 error. A bit of research and I found that I had to increase the PHP timeouts as the plugin seems to need a bit of time to do its thing. Did that and haven’t seen the error since.<\/p>\n
An issue I encountered, and I suspect it is to do with the theme I am using, is that the thumbnails came through yukky. There may be a way to fix this if I spent time on it, but for now, once a bunch of events has come through I force regenerate the thumbnails and it solves the problem.<\/p>\n
I have set the plugin to check daily and the bring everything in as pending. This is because we are adding these events to a calendar that uses other sources as well and every event needs to have a category assigned to it before we publish it.<\/p>\n
So every day or so I check in on it, assign a category to the pending events, publish, force regen the thumbs and its done.<\/p>\n
This is where I’m at after about a week of using the plugin. <\/p>\n
A couple of things I’m not sure on is:
\n1) If the orginal Facebook event changes, does the plugin pick it up as a ‘new event’ and should it be reimported.
\n2) Is it possible to pull through and display the url of the original FB event in the content<\/p>\n
Anyway – thanks folks for what is proving to be a very timesaving plugin for me – cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1025809","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
