We have a very large Google calendar we are using with the Events Aggregator and previously the iCal importer.<\/p>\n
https:\/\/calendar.google.com\/calendar\/ical\/stonewallcolumbus@gmail.com\/public\/basic.ics<\/p>\n
After updating the Events Calendar Pro release this past week, we had duplicate events. This calendar is very large with over 1,500 events, many of them recurring events. There were some random duplication with events, especially at the beginning of the list.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t afford to wait 48 hours for a response and had to work on the weekend with this. We imported the site to a staging environment on WP Engine.<\/p>\n
In Staging: All plugins were deactivated, theme switched to 2016. Importing process started again with a daily scheduled event and duplicate events for the first few dates of February. We deleted all the 1,500+ dates that were imported (wish we could disable ignored events or have an “empty trash” equivalent.) Made a new schedule import, finally was a clean import without duplicates. This took 4-5 pulls to test.<\/p>\n
We had similar recurring problems with the iCal importer plugin although that put all recurring dates on the same day as the state date. This has been very fussy and we may have to drop using this process because we can’t rely on the plugin having been thoroughly tested for Google Calendar imports.<\/p>\n
There doesn’t seem to be enough testing going on for imports prior to upgrades. We need Google Calendar so we are looking for an alternative stable solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1230197","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
