Hi, I was trying to setup an iCal sync to import a Google Calendar we publish our municipalities public meetings to. Most are all called the same thing say “Planning Board Meeting” they just have a different date (please note, these are not necessarily reoccuring on a schedule meetings).
My initial import seemed to go well except some events have the wrong time imported on them. They are correctly listed on the google calendar but have incorrect values in the WP Event Organizer section. Along with this I also noticed that some are slightly funky with their slugs.
I used a short code to list only current and future meetings on a widget list and on the widget list we have some that recognize they are identically named and have appended another identifier to its URL.
ie: /events/event/groton-dunstable-regional-middle-school-council-meeting-6/
However in my widget list I only see one future event happening for the URL ‘/events/event/board-of-health-meeting/’ however there are 100’s of past ones in the database. Not sure how this unique URL gets the correct data to display or what, but these ones are the ones that have the incorrect time associated with them also.
Any suggestions?
