After setting it up, I wanted to integrate our current Calendar into The Events Calendar on the WordPress site. Currently, many students and the administration use a third-party calendar application called CalendarWiz. <\/p>\n<p>My goal is to slowly ween off of CalendarWiz to our website \/ The Events Calendar, however, this transition has to be somewhat progressive (as some people are still dependent on CalendarWiz and haven&#8217;t been taught WordPress \/ The Events Calendar). Therefore, I downloaded the iCal Importer to pull the events from CalendarWiz that some of these people continue to add. It is set to a recurring import.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed, however, that when events are changed (say, an event time has changed) or an event is deleted AFTER it has been imported with the iCal importer from CalendarWiz&#8230; that these changes are NOT reflected in The Events Calendar&#8230; it adds the event from the import, then duplicates the event for a changed time, and does not erase the old &#8220;incorrect time&#8221; event if it had already been imported. <\/p>\n<p>Basically, I need exactly the events shown in CalendarWiz to be reflected in The Events Calendar, without duplicates or events that are no longer in existence, especially while I still have to instruct many people on how to use the new system, The Events Calendar (assuming we move to this). Is this functionality built in, have I just not found it, or is this not the plugin I thought it was?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Chris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1112366","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>Duplicate 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\/duplicate-events-10\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Duplicate Events -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello, I recently created a website for my school&#8217;s student association using a WordPress theme that recommended your plugin, The Events Calendar.
