This is a continued (continued) thread from https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/ical-importer-not-deleting-events-cont\/<\/p>\n

I am trying to work out if it is possible, using the pro calendar and ical importer, and importing data from a Google Calendar, if it is possible (at all) to JUST have Google calendar be in control of the data on the events calendar. So if an event is added, the auto import using ical importer adds an event to the evetns calendar, if a previously imported event is then changed (edited) in Google, the change then updates the event in the events calendar (as opposed to creating a new event), and if deleting an event in Google calendar, that event gets deleted from the events calendar on the website?<\/p>\n

I have tried adding:-<\/p>\n

\/\/ Allow events that have already been imported to be updated if the source event
\n\/\/ is changed and if it was pulled in via a saved recurring import (iCal Importer)
\nadd_filter( ‘tribe_events_ical_importer_overwrite_existing_events’, ‘__return_true’ );<\/p>\n

to my functions.php file but it doesn’t seem to change anything.
\nThanks in advance for your response.
