Hi there,<\/p>\n
We’ve been testing the event aggregator quite a bit and have hit the following snags:<\/p>\n
1 – We set up an import to run on a manual schedule (mostly so we don’t have to wait for a scheduled import to test things). First import from a Google .ics went fine. I then added a test event to the source calendar, then manually ran the import again. I tried this over the course of a couple hours and my test event never was imported. I then deleted my import and set it up fresh again, and then my test event came in. It should come in on any manual import run after the test event was added to the feed. (I did check the ics file as well, and the test event was there.) It almost seems as though the aggregator is not grabbing the newest version of the file, but instead one already stored on the local server.<\/p>\n
2 – The real reason we were excited for the event aggregator was the “smart sync” in hopes that it would delete events on the website that were no longer in the ics file (i.e. they were deleted at the source Google calendar). Per this post in the user voice forum, I thought the chances were good https:\/\/tribe.uservoice.com\/forums\/195723-feature-ideas\/suggestions\/9624687-sync-google-calendar-with-ical-feed. However, we’ve continued to try with both manual and scheduled imports, and our deleted source events don’t get deleted on the site. I’m not sure if this is the same issue as #1 or not.<\/p>\n
3 – The importer is not running on schedule. This is a heavily visited site, so I don’t know why it wouldn’t be triggered to run. See screenshot: https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/kyray4djvit3n27\/Screenshot%202016-11-10%2014.17.34.png?dl=0<\/p>\n
Further notes:
\n– this testing has been done on a local server and remote on the production site at WP Engine, and same issues are seen in both places.
\n– local testing was done on a site with no other plugins and the default WP theme
\n– Google calendar URL: https:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/ical\/d123.org_444f2d5075626c6963%40resource.calendar.google.com\/private-7209f3dc8af0864ff725730688d393cb\/basic.ics
\n– Events Calendar system status report is attached<\/p>\n
If there’s any other info you need, please let me know. We’d love to stick with this calendar even if the bugs take a while to work out, but if the event deletion isn’t even on the road map we will have to find an alternate solution.<\/p>\n
Thanks so much,
