Two of those import with no category or local changes so those are occurring fine on version 4.4.2, which I had to rollback to in order to get around the wrong date issue on events importing with wrong date of 01\/01\/1990 while waiting on bug fix as per your replies to other thread discussions.<\/p>\n<p>However, the third import requires changes following import to properly change event categories which are not available on facebook, thus one of the biggest reasons for using Aggregator and The Events Calendar. So, the process used is import the feed, make changes to category for events needing to moved to other categories or adding additional categories to the event and then daily processing another import of all events. When the updated import is done, the events that have had local changes to the categories are not preserved. The categories are overwritten to only show the category designated on import requiring individual edits to each category to update the category changes again. The import has to be done in a way to update description information from any changes made to the event on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>I am and have been using twenty fourteen theme, have disabled all plugins with no difference. I have rolled back to version 4.3.5 and moved forward but have had to stay at version 4.4.2 in order to have the import universal setting of preserve most recent change whether that occurs locally or at source since in the next update it is not worded the same way.<\/p>\n<p>How do I correct this issue so category changes made locally are preserved on next import?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1263118","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>Aggregator not preserving local changes on facebook import -<\/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\/aggregator-not-preserving-local-changes-on-facebook-import\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Aggregator not preserving local changes on facebook import -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I have a large number of events imported using Aggregator via Facebook import from multiple facebook ids.
