Using Divi 2.5 and latest WP.<\/p>\n<p>I am trying to sync it with 6 google calendars, starting from August 1, 2015. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to tell where to start. While many events are recurring, none of them show as recurring in the event admin column. (just a dash). the even larger issue, is that if they are recurring, they do not carry over the end date year, which makes them display very erratically. <\/p>\n<p>For example, Christmas Break carried the start date of 12\/22\/15, but the end date of January 1,2016 is showing on the front end as 2014, so it is displaying as christmas break all year long. <strong>no events imported from dates previous to today display the year in admin column, and do not display correctly on the calendar. dates are correct on the event edit page<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>a separate but related issue, i have a recurring 3 day, all day event. on google it shows 3 days, Jan 19,20,21. it imports as 4 all day events &#8211; it may have something to do with the cutoff time. most recurring all-day events are extending a day after. <\/p>\n<p>I have deleted all events, ran the db cleaner and reimported with the same results after making sure the google events were setup correctly. many of them are daily repeats, or repeat on weekdays until such and such a day. After the flush and reimport, I have avoided editing any of the events on WP so you can see the natural state of the import. <\/p>\n<p>next step before submitting this, i deleted the events, the saved recurring imports and reflushed the DB again, and on the third import i got stranger results, with many more duplicate events. <\/p>\n<p>final step before submitting &#8211; i switched to 2014 theme and deactivated all other plugins. imported a totally brand new calendar with 3 types of events:<\/p>\n<p>one event that spans 3 days &#8211;  imported correctly<br \/>\none event that repeated daily and stopped after 3 occurrences, shows on google as 3 days,  imported to 4 separate events<br \/>\none event that repeated Weekly on weekdays, and stopped after 3 occurrences, shows on google as 3 days,  imported to 4 separate events<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t add all the calendars back to the recurring imports because it&#8217;s getting overwhelming. Just three calendars, one with 16 singles event (works great) and one with several recurring events (chaos). and the test. <\/p>\n<p>screen shots are at the link in system info.  when i search the ics link, the preview results all looked good, with the proper start\/end dates and years, except it shows that it will import one extra day.  the issue seems to be something in the conversion to the custom post. <\/p>\n<p>When i subscribe to the calendar with my Mac calendar app, everything is the same as it is on google. <\/p>\n<p>After HOURs of troubleshooting right off the bat, I have to say I am disappointed and i wish i could have seen these forums before purchasing. I hope you can find a solution quickly!<\/p>\n<p>thanks,<br \/>\nkate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1035712","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lots of trouble with Google iCal import - mostly recurring events -<\/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\/lots-of-trouble-with-google-ical-import-mostly-recurring-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lots of trouble with Google iCal import - mostly recurring events -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I installed 4.0 pro and 4.0 iCal importer for the first time yesterday.
