Bug Report: [if-no-end-time] not working?

    Hi again,

    so – after some more testing it seems as if the [if-no-end-time] tag doesn’t work as intended.

    I added a couple of events with the same end time as the start time (since this is the only way Google Calendar allows events without end times to be created. )

    I had thought that that meant that the [if-no-end-time] would be active then, but it appears it does not trigger. Maybe I am missing something on how to properly create events without an end time, but I don’t think so. Or maybe something have changed since the [if-no-end-time] tag was introduced. Anywhow: It does not seem to work now. Just thought I’d let you know. If you need help with trouble shooting / testing, just let me know.
    Thanks.

    Update: It does work as expected but not in the following situation. (Maybe this will help someone else).

    The default setting for Google Calendars is to add every event with a 60 min time slot. If you edit the event to set the end time to the same as the start time, the end time is still there in the feed. (Although it may look correct in the Google Calendar view. )

    If you change your default settings to say No end time, the short code will work for any NEW events you create, but it will not change the end time for previously added events. In fact, events that were added before you changed the settings will have to be deleted and re-added (without an end time) if you want them to only have a start time.

    A little suprising, but no bug in the WordPress Plugin. More of a bug/ unexpected behaviour in Google Calendar itself.
