This makes absolutely no sense. Without this feature, the aggregator plugin is completely useless to me.<\/p>\n<p>Here is my (I would assume fairly common) use case: I have a community calendar that I would ideally like to import events into from other websites in the community also using events calendar. In my case there are at least 3.<\/p>\n<p>Even if I schedule all 3 to import on the same schedule, that means that each time I do an import, I will get maybe 15 categories added to my events that I need to go in and delete. And if I can&#8217;t go in and delete them right away? In the meantime they&#8217;ll be showing up on my events page on the Filter bar (which I&#8217;m also paying extra for) under narrow results by event category. This renders the filter by category basically useless, not to mention extremely confusing to users, until it is cleaned up. <\/p>\n<p>You alluded in the thread below to this being &#8220;custom coding&#8221; and not within the realm of normal support. On the contrary, this issue makes your premium plugins impossible to properly use together. Please fix it asap.<\/p>\n<p>And if you think that what I am saying doesnt have merit, please explain.
