Can’t edit imported feed

    So I transferred my content from one site to another, and all my events got kinda reset in the process – meaning, all events dates were null. So I tried exporting the original feed and importing to my new site. It worked alright, but it messed up most of the html content (inserted unnecessary <br /> tags, removed some markup), but the dates were fine. Ok. So I just edited what I needed, and saved the events. I refreshed the page, closed and opened it again, and the changes were all there.
    But a couple hours later, I went to the events again, bam, all my changes were gone and it was back to the original feed, with all mistakes. So frustrating!
    What’s the matter here? Why can’t I edit the event from an imported feed?

  • Hi,

    Our calendar recognizes events that are imported as being “owned” by someone else.
    Therefore, when the manual/automatic update occurs, it’s always going to overwrite the existing events. This ensures you are importing any updates, edited events or new events that have been added by the “owner.”

    As a workaround you can add a feed, delete the feed, and select “Keep Events” when prompted. Now the calendar will recognize these events as being “owned” by you. Unfortunately, this means that you will no longer receive updated events since you are no longer subscribed to the feed.

    We have a “Preserve changes made to events retrieved from feeds” option with which it is possible to save the changes, but is only available in the Hosted Hub calendar.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    That works just fine, since I just wanted to import the events, not necessarily sync it with another calendar.
    Thanks!
