In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Import feed not workingI’m having what appears to be a similar issue. I deleted an event in the Outlook calendar, which is the feed to ai1ec calendar, but it is still on the ai1ec calendar.
The question becomes how can I set the refresh timing to know when the calendars will refresh from the ics feeds?
Or does it take some other website action to have the ics feeds refreshed?
ai1ec 2.5.4 on wordpress 4.5.3
I refreshed the feed and now see the events but they aren’t correct. The event is an all day event that starts on 7/12 and then recurs every month on the same date until 12/12. What I see on the calendar is two events in July – on 7/12 and 7/13, then an event each subsequent month on the 13th (should be the 12th) and none in december.
Calvin,
It seems that the recurring events not showing is still there. I updated today to the new version of the ai1ec plugin (2.5.3) and I’m not seeing a recurring event. I didn’t look prior to the update. Here’s the feed:
There should be a recurring event called menorah deadline each month on the 12th starting on July 12th. None of the events show in All Events. Note that there are a couple of single events with the same event name that are not part of the recurring event.
Here’s the section out of the ics feed:

END:VEVENTI’ve refreshed the feed as well.
Also, how often are the feeds refreshed? I can’t tell since that option is no longer visible.
ThanksCalvin,
When I first created the test share from the ics file I had, it didn’t honor the exclude dates, so I went back and deleted some events. Most likely you pulled the ics feed before I had a chance to delete them, which is why the second one had them. The feed now completes and the events shown seem correct.
But I did notice another issue that I’ve seen before. I’ll start a different thread on it, but it has to do with time not being correct to the calendar time, even if I select that option.
Thanks for your help!
I noticed that when the ics file with the recurring events was imported back into outlook, the recurring events became a continual every week event with no gaps. The one I was having difficulty with was a recurring event with some of them deleted. So that changes the RRULE statement to list the exact dates (shown in the thread earlier). I can send you the ics file if that will help.
I deleted some of the recurring events in the new share I created for testing to replicate the situation.
I had to recreate the share from a saved ics file that had the recurring events. Here’s the url of the new share:
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/[email protected]/cdc368a7167a4e10a98169d1f49a1ba318101945370824274180/calendar.icsUnfortunately, the post doesn’t show the 1 space indent under EXDATE and UID.
Here’s the excerpt from the ics file of the recurring event. I noticed when looking at it in notepad that there is a maximum character length. If an item is longer than that length, it continues on the next line, but with an added space to indent it. Is it possible that the ai1ec parser is having problems when a calendar property is longer than 1 line?
Here is the excerpt from the ics file showing the recurring event. Note the EXDATE and UID lines are each longer than 1 line.
