Google Calendar two-way sync

    We have set up Google calendar ics feed and it is syncing from Google to our website just fine. However if events were modified on our website, the changes we made stay only until the next calendar refresh.

    Here are scenarios:

    When updating single, non-repeating event in WP, all changes disappear on next calendar update.
    When updating one event of repeating events in WP, on the next refresh the event is duplicated in WP, calendar is not affected.

    Please let us know, how to set up the plugin correctly to keep changes syncing both ways?

  • 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
