Hi Philip,

That error message indicates that iCal feed is incorrectly formatted. Could you provide a link to the feed in question?

[Stephen Harris]

Given Google calendar feeds are correctly formatted and that the invalid formatted date is “2” (which could be the beginning of a valid date) I am beginning to wonder if the feed has been truncated.

The feed would be helpful here. If don’t wish to publish it publicly you can use this form: http://wp-event-organiser.com/contact

this is the cal’s url : https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/6is2vjn36e5kltp39vkl2t87gk%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

and it also provided me the ics file which i imported manually…

Hi Philip,

Surprisingly, the iCal feed is invalid, specifically on the line referenced in the error message (it was a different line for me, and will move around as you add/remove events), the EXDATE format was invalid:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20150208T103000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20150208T120000
..    
EXDATE;TZID=Europe/Berlin:2
...
UID:l3kp2g04im263m71kusa9c7h4c@google.com
...
END:VEVENT

A date is expected, but “2” is given. Fortunately this is the only event (event with UID: l3kp2g04im263m71kusa9c7h4c@google.com) with that invalid date, so I’d recommend deleting it (and creating it if required). You should then be able to import automatically.

The only reason why you can manually import is that it fails silently on that event, whereas the iCal sync aborts the sync.

Thank you very much! now that i updatet the specivic event, it works! but now the plugin says invalid license code? but i guess thats another problem and would require another forum thread..

Thanks again!
