Please see the JS console for more information.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that because of the recurring events that the import is basically timing out. With this in mind I set the global Events &gt; Settings &gt; General &gt; &#8216;Create recurring events in advance for&#8217; option to 3 months (and then 1 month) because we have no need to import weeks and weeks in advance (and the import is set to reoccur anyway).<\/p>\n<p>However even when the import did partially succeed before timing out it still imported events up to 2017 I noticed so the iCal import seems to be ignoring this global setting (I don&#8217;t know if this is intentional or not).<\/p>\n<p>I should add that also after the initial import we set it to auto import at an interval and this fails too (getting the &#8216;1 saved import did not complete&#8217; message).<\/p>\n<p>My questions then are:<\/p>\n<p>1) Is there a way to get around this &#8216;timeout&#8217; (assuming that&#8217;s what it is) or failure in general?<br \/>\n2) Is there a way we can either get the import to respect the global &#8216;Create recurring events in advance for&#8217; option (to try to reduce the overhead) or, if not, is there a filter or something we can apply in functions.php or similar that will manually set a limit on the iCal import?<br \/>\n3) I noticed this thread &#8211; https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/ics-file-does-not-work-from-google-ics-url-or-local-ics-file-upload\/#dl_post-1102476 &#8211; where another customer seemed to have a similar issue and Brook mentioned there was a bug that had been introduced and that a fix would be released soon. If indeed we do have the same issue, will the fix be released soon or can we rollback to a previous version like Brook mentioned in the meantime to allow us to complete the import?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Nick<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1106773","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>Import from Google Calendar URL failing -<\/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\/import-from-google-calendar-url-failing\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Import from Google Calendar URL failing -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hey all, We&#8217;re having an issue importing the following Google Calendar URL into The Events Calendar (PRO): https:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/ical\/pp9okp1tcc59e3hh7526qgr0go%40group.calendar.google.com\/private-526498aa43b44c9adc32ceeb9eb2c7f8\/basic.ics It contains several recurring events.
