Hi, I’m looking at using this importer for another project. However, when I used this originally there were two major issues which prevented us from using it again. I’m writing to see if these have been resolved.<\/p>\n

1. We set up the feed to update every hour, or even each day, but it would create duplicates of events. Does this issue still occur?<\/p>\n

2. On that note, the feed also wasn’t bringing through update to current events. So if an event was updated in the feed, the update didn’t come through to the existing event. Is there a way to allow the feed to ‘replace all existing events with events in the feed?’ so that we get updated events?<\/p>\n

If the 2 issues are resolved then we will use this for the next project.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Patrick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1030991","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nUpdating existing events + Event duplicates -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/updating-existing-events-event-duplicates\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Updating existing events + Event duplicates -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I’m looking at using this importer for another project.
