[Plugin: All-in-One Event Calendar] iCal All Day Events Importing Wrong

Same issue here.

I just installed, having the same issue.

Do you have the timezone setting configured correctly?

What timezone setting?

There is no timezone for your plugin. If you mean WP General, then the answer is yes. If you mean in iCal? Then the answer is yes.

So I ask, what timezone setting would change the date from the day it is in the feed, to the day before? Additional when an event spans several days in the feed, why does it not span several days in the plugin? This is a bug that relates to All Day events in a feed. Not specific timed events like 10am to 5pm…

If you don’t see a timezone select element on calendar settings it means that your timezone is correct, the field shows only when the configuration is wrong.
It doesn’t matter if an event is all-day or not – dates and times are one long number that we are adding timezone offset to, to make the event time/date relative to your timezone. That’s where I start to look for the problem first, if the timezone is wrong the time/date fo the event will also be wrong ??
You say that it has been configured correctly, can you perhaps give an example of ics feed that has problem events. I will try to debug it and find the problem, I will also need to know what your timezone is set to.
Thank you.

Timezone of blog: Los Angeles (pacific time)

Timezone of ics feed: based on the location of the posted event. In this case San Francisco.

Link of calendar: https://jodywhitesides.com/live/

This has a start date of March 5th and an end date of March 9th. No actual start or end time, only day because it spans multiple days. Oddly enough with the recent update of the plugin, now none of my feed shows up. Thus it’s erased my feed altogether, despite that it’s still listed in the settings?

In hitting update on the ics feed within the plugin, it says no events found. Yet there are 5 that should be showing in March. Thus now it’s not working at all…

It would be great though if there was also support for turning Timezone things off. Mostly because if my blog is located in Los Angeles and I do something in New York, then the times won’t match up in my calendar that feeds this plugin when it shows on my website.

I’ll check the feed and find the problem. Thank you for providing it.

If your blog is located in LA and you do something in NY the times will/should match as long as your feed reflects that the timezone is NY or LA time will be stored and displayed properly.

Well, the timezone thing in the past created issues. Meaning if I posted something in Mountain time, it showed on the blog as an hour earlier.

Yes, we had that issue but hopefully it was fixed a few versions back.

I’m having the same issue. Was this resolved for you jwhitesides? Do you know how I can fix this? My website is going live tomorrow.

The answer to your question jadinges is: No.

At this point it appears to be completely broken and won’t even acknowledge events in an iCal/iCloud feed.

Current iCloud/iCal feed I have in my plugin is: webcal://p07-calendarws.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/JHFtu5ugjvKRoC8JzBxVRyhjdyWMyllwPywdXfFz32wLDn-3-tZMtqKVkTYCYn-u

And the plugin says there are no events. Won’t update. Won’t show on the website. Pretty disappointed at this point.

I’ve spent over a week on this with Apple. They claim everything is working on their end. This is even after they had me go through a ton of test steps and create a whole new iCloud account – to no avail.

Apple claims it’s The Seed’s issue. That the plugin needs to be updated.

At this point. I’m ready to look for a new plugin.

I’m also wondering if this is a multi-site issue as I’ve recently changed mine to a multi-site setup. Either way, I took a known working feed from a friend who is also using this plugin based on my recommendation and it’s working on their site, but won’t work on mine. I don’t know why.

We’ve run into this too; iCal importing seems to rely on the X-WR-TIMEZONE property to get the timezone right (see app/helper/class-ai1ec-importer-helper.php:124). A hack to work around this is to specify a default timezone for your calendars to fall back to, for example adding this on line 127:

if ( !$timezone ) $timezone = 'America/New_York';

But really to do this correctly there needs to be an option for this, or the parsing needs to be extended to better support the iCal format. See also: https://blog.jonudell.net/2011/10/17/x-wr-timezone-considered-harmful/

It is not just the ics feed — I have this issue in reverse:

I have a reproducible issue with the wordpress plug-in all in one event calendar. When I try to exclude certain dates (all summer Wednesday’s) for a particular event by clicking on that specific date in the popup calendar, after clicking “update”, the event changes the exclusion dates by setting them back one day. Example —
adult choir practice every Wednesday at 7:45 til :45. Exclude Wednesday June 20th. Hit update and it resets it to exclude Tuesday June 19th. Rechecked system dates, times, — everything correct. I can do workarounds by ending and restarting choir practice in the fall, or just date excluding Thursday June 21st and then when I hit update,
it changes it to the correct date to exclude — the 20th.
But the software should work correctly — it is very confusing to my client… happened while trying to show them how to update and of course, I was a bit stunned. Any fix to this or can you explain why it did this?
