 * Hey.
 * Got another problem since I updated.
    I am getting the following error message
   while syncing on several events and a new location is created every time.
 *     ```
       Skipping already synchronized event: 1603
       Warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /homepages/3/d434234131/htdocs/pph-net/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1127

 * hey. you re tearing every record in response!
 * With this change the errormessage is gone and the syncing runs faster. But it
   still creates new locations on the same events. Guess its because these occure
   in locations which doesnt exist as specific location on facebook itself.

 * Tx 🙂
    You can tune the location-thingie a bit in the plugin (so it searches 
   for existing locations based on e.g. the name or coordinates and not only on 
   the facebook location id)
