I basically am just creating an import from the URL of those sports teams ical schedules. So far the bears, blackhawks and bulls have been fine. But the Cubs feed is multiplying like crazy. Maybe it has something to do with the playoff schedule constantly updating, changing, but as of right now is shows 58 cubs games on saturday the 22nd, and same on sunday 23rd.<\/p>\n<p>I have included a screen shot of the imports i have created&#8230;you will see that while all the others are set to daily or weekly, it appears they only update when theres a change, but the cubs one has updated almost 900 times, and it is set to weekly.<\/p>\n<p>My guess is that for a regular season schedule that is &#8220;set&#8221; i wont have any issues&#8230;but if the hawks or the bulls make the postseason, where the schedule is unknown and constantly being added or edited, thats when new imports will start to get messy, and id like to avoid that. But the reason I bought this was so I could have a schedule that updated automatically, without me having to manually edit things.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1178385","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 duplicating imported 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\/ical-importer-duplicating-imported-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ical importer duplicating imported events -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"so ive seen very similar threads but nothing that really helped me resolve the issue &#8211; so i apologize if its the same issue as others and i just missed the solution.
