Hi, this is a follow on from the thread here:-<\/p>\n
iCal Importer not updating changed events<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I’ve got the ical importer set up to import an ical feed from Google calendar every 5 mins and within the settings have ticked the ‘overwrite recurring’ checkbox so that when an event in google is updated the event in the calendar updates in accordance with that.<\/p>\n<p>The thread above seems to refer to the fact that this feature is no longer part of the plugin, yet there’s the checkbox that I am using mostly successfully… so I’m a little confused. Is this feature now re-introduced with this checkbox? Also it seems only to work when I pair up TEC Pro with the importer…<\/p>\n<p>Lastly – and more on topic re the subject line – while an event detail (title & details) seems to update with this checkbox ticked… checked… if I remove the event from Google altogether the event stays on the calendar… which seems not to make sense?<\/p>\n<p>Hope you can clarify?<br \/>\nCheers,<br
