Using some information that I found in some of your other support threads, i was able to extend TEC to be able to export an ical file for something like a year of events. Being the resourceful bloke that i am, I simply added cron job to &#8220;curl&#8221; that file to a web-accessible location, and voila! &#8212; instant ical feed. <\/p>\n<p>This works great from something like iCal on Macs. It does a good job of staying in sync. Google calendar, on the other hand, is very frustrating. It will import the calendar, but nothing short of re-importing the calendar seems to update my events. This is where I could really use some expert advice. What do I need to do to get Google to recheck my feed page? Is there some setting in nginx that i need to change? is there a special &#8220;don&#8217;t cache me bro&#8221; entry i need to make? Is there some magic type of URL i can fashion to keep g-cal on it&#8217;s toes? I&#8217;m so frustrated that Google offers no real information for understanding what is happening &#8212; or in my case &#8212; not happening.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for at least reading my tale of woe. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1522542","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>Advice on syncing to Google Calendar -<\/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\/advice-on-syncing-to-google-calendar\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Advice on syncing to Google Calendar -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Disclaimer: I know that you have no obligation to help me with this question, but I don&#8217;t know any other calendar experts, so I&#8217;m turning to you knowledgeable folks.
