I have several imports setup to the same URL with keyword filters so that they will be categorized when they are imported.  The import works for the title, times, and description (but not for location and organizer).  Those fields that are not importing isn&#8217;t the biggest problem.  The biggest problem is that everytime it checks for new events, it sees each item as changed and then counts it towards my number of imports.  Since there is no way to regulate how far in the future to import, it checks, for example, my collegegroup import which has weekly meetings and events scheduled a year ahead (over 100 of them) and then shuts down my import because it thinks it needs to update every one of those.<\/p>\n<p>So as you can see, without the ability to either not count updates as an import, or to limit how far in the future it imports, it has now become useless.<\/p>\n<p>Do you see my dilemma?<\/p>\n<p>What can be done about this?<\/p>\n<p>Preston<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1329581","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>Event Aggregator import limitation problems -<\/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\/event-aggregator-import-limitation-problems\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Event Aggregator import limitation problems -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hey guys, I was using import prior to the event aggregator.
