I’m having pretty much the same issue with the WordPress Twenty-Seventeen theme.

I’ve rolled back to 7.0 which seems okay, but anything later than that breaks the search listing.

Appreciate any help you can give.

Thanks!

All good. ??

Just sent a donation your way…

That’s fantastic, many thanks!

I know what you mean about spaces being a reasonable delimiter for URLs, but I think most devs are probably used to pipes as well, so seems like a reasonable way for you to go.

Great plugin, many thanks again!

Yep, changing the code and the delimiter in my shortcode fixes it.

Many thanks for working through this!

Ooooh, awesome.

Yeah, I did wonder earlier about the delimiter, but didn’t mention it.

I’ll try that and let you know later.

Thanks!

Okay, thanks for continuing to investigate.

I’m also using Contact Form 7 shortcode in the same listing, and it works as expected, if that info is any help to you. (Whether or not the contact form shortcode is in the listing doesn’t make any difference to the multi-feed URL issue though)

This may be useful:
Warning: ICS file could not be retrieved or was empty. ICS Calendar plugin requires cURL or allow_url_fopen. Please check your php.ini configuration. in [...]/wp-content/plugins/ics-calendar/class-r34ics.php on line 299

However, if I test each individual feed URL by itself, we know it works (and the multi-feed shortcode also works fine on the other site of mine), so I think we’re safe to assume that the feeds themselves are okay. And I think we can conclude that cURL and allow_url_fopen are fine on my server too since, again, they work okay on a single feed.

No, I’m not adding it to the Listings page (the page designated as the Listings page in HivePress).

The Listings page simply shows all the listings. Each individual listing post has it’s own post content. I have added this multi-feed ICS shortcode to one individual listing.

It’s when we view that individual listing that the multi-feed calendar doesn’t display. If the ICS shortcode only has one ical feed, then the calendar displays just fine on the individual listing.

Yes, the issue is when the calendar is inserted into a HivePress listing. I’m not a WordPress developer, but I think a HivePress listing is a custom post type?

If I put your shortcode on a regular WordPress post or page on the same site, it works fine, but not as part of a HivePress listing post.

I’ll try turning WP_DEBUG on, and see what I get.

That seems to have regressed. Shortcode still works okay in a regular post on Site B, but the HivePress listing gives a HTTP500 error.

I haven’t changed anything (neither the regular post nor the HP listing) other than the version of the ICS plugin.

If I revert to 5.8.0, things go back to the way they were; ie the HP listing displays, but doesn’t render the calendar.

Yes, I had the same issue with the forum converting the last quote.

As per my initial post above, Site A works fine with the multi-feeds. I’ve just retested it again from the start.

Here’s a screenshot of Site A page editor with the shortcode block.

If I copy and paste that exact shortcode text (no smart quotes or anything) to my HivePress listing on Site B, it doesn’t render. Here’s a screenshot of that.

If I copy and paste the exact same shortcode text (in other words, the same text on my clipboard as pasted into the HivePress listing) to a regular WordPress post on Site B, it does render correctly.

Thanks for engaging on this, it is appreciated.

Thanks, understood, and thanks for the plugin.

I think the ICS Calendar developer is also fairly responsive, so I’ll maybe also flag it in their support forum too.

Cheers,

Ah, okay, looks like an incompatibility with the HivePress plugin. I’m using HivePress to display some vacation rental listings. I wanted to embed a multi-URL calendar inside each HivePress listing. It works with one ICS URL, but not with multiple URLs.

However the multiple URL ICS shortcode does work okay on a simple WordPress post on the same site.

Seems like a clash with HivePress then.

Is that something you want to look into anyway?

Ummm, not sure why the closing quote for the url parameter is getting escaped in my post above in the forum here. I can assure you the url param is properly quoted in my WordPress installation. I’ve copied and pasted the exact same multi-url [ics_calendar] shortcode configuration from my Site A to Site B, and it works okay on Site A.

Yep, have tried all feeds separately.

The following works on Site A:
[ics_calendar url=”https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/admin%40the-doug.co.nz/public/basic.ics https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/the-doug.co.nz_oad0hki0uauhukicvivctlak68%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/the-doug.co.nz_bl3fov0831ue8jufb5t2n0mf70%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics” title=”false” view=”month” hidealldayindicator=”true” nomobile=”true” columnlabels=”short” limitdays=”720″ color=”#FF0000 #FF0000 #FF0000″ reload=”1″]

It does not work on Site B. If I strip it back to each of the single feeds, it works on Site B.

Like I said earlier, Sites A & B are fairly similar in terms of other plugins, theme, etc. Not running on the same server, but the servers are specced the same in terms of PHP, etc.

Thanks for your help, appreciated.
