Hi – I just purchased the Event Aggregator (EA) today, and I made sure I set up my FaceBook API (and pointed towards the group I wanted to import from, a group that I’m also FB Admin to!). But I keep getting this error: <\/p>\n

Events cannot be imported because Facebook has returned an error. This could mean that the event ID does not exist, the event or source is marked as Private, or the event or source has been otherwise restricted by Facebook. You can read more about Facebook restrictions in our knowledgebase.<\/p>\n

1) I link to a group which I’m an admin on
\n2) i know infact there are events
\n3) I’ve also tried to import directly from an event link
\n4) I have set the rights correctly (also tried to remove the API FB rights and reenabled it again
\n5) The site\/event doesn’t contain any profanity, alcohol reference or other stuff listed in your guide (we are a triathlon club \ud83d\ude42
\n6) The group (hence the event) is “private”, not hidden in Facebook term… Since the 4 FB pages I i want to schedule an import from are ALL mine (I’m Admin), and also are ALL private, I hope i still can perform this import, otherwise I can’t use this plugin<\/p>\n

So what to do?<\/p>\n

Regards
