It has a different iCal URL.  Our Athletics schedules are split out into one calendar per sport, using keywords in the event (and importer) to filter each sport to the appropriate calendar.  This of course turns on 30+ imports to cover all of the athletic teams.  In addition to having these all houses as subcalendars under a master Athletics calendar (located here: http:\/\/www.sjcatholicschool.org\/events\/category\/athletics\/), we have them display as sidebar items for each sport (see Football here, which presently is missing the import as of this posting: http:\/\/www.sjcatholicschool.org\/athletics\/teams\/football\/).<\/p>\n<p>Everything looked fine at first, but then we had parents reporting that sport-specific events were missing or &#8220;when are football events going to be posted&#8221;.  At first we worried the 30+ calendars running every 15 minutes could be to blame, so we changed it to once daily on Thursday and we still are having issues.  Sometimes it will import and all events will be present.  Other times all events go away.  I am not sure if this is due to a failure of import or what, but they all just simply go away 100%.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at your forums and have looked for events moved to trash or marked for deletion but they are not there.  The events related to these calendars are 100% gone with no trace.  Magically during a subsequent import they will reappear from time to time.  <\/p>\n<p>We need this fixed or we need to get a refund on both Pro and iCal Importer purchases.  Please advise.  Time is of the essence with school (and sports) starting back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1146089","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>iCal Importer Events Disappearing - Entire Calendars Going Blank -<\/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\/ical-importer-events-disappearing-entire-calendars-going-blank\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"iCal Importer Events Disappearing - Entire Calendars Going Blank -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We are syncing with Google Calendar (tested with iCalendar Validator that all iCal links are valid and parsing, save for the Error was: Property [ORGANIZER] must be specified once which the validation tool points to a method being unnecessary but these are from Google after all so not like we can alter their code.
