Mishandling of Featured Image on Import

  • Hi @dday61,

    The “Hide Featured Image” will only work on the native events, created within the calendar.

    ICS and iCal don’t technically support “featured images” — these are a WordPress blog function.

    When you export an event to an ICS file, the script adds the featured image via HTML to the Description field, because there is no featured image in ICal standard.

    Once you import the event back into the calendar, the setting won’t work, because the image is now part of the Description field, and there is no featured image technically.

    If the url for the featured image is in wp_posts>wp_content for the row (in the first div I think) it should be possible to create a wp-postmeta row. In my case the image will always be in folder wp-content/uploads.

    The mishandled image reference can then be stripped out of wp_posts>wp_content.

    I’m not sure anything else would be required to reinstate the featured image in its proper place.

    Hi @dday61,

    Our calendar has adopted the iCal standard for syncing events and calendars, in order to remain compatible across different platforms. This is the standard adopted by Google, Microsoft, and Apple as well, so that syncing events between calendars of these providers will be compatible. Features images are not handles by iCal for this reason.

    For specific change requests, you are welcome to submit a feature request for our Development Team to implement for a future release. You can do so here:
