Hi Scott
You’re one of my long term users!
It looks like it is something different about your server setup. It appears to be redirecting and/or giving an error that javascript is required (see below). Human in a browser is ok, but automated fetch not. Whatever you have installed that is doing this should not be doing it on ics feeds.
What I have found is:
If i click on the feed urls (either
https://frontandsocial.com/category/events/?feed=ics or
https://frontandsocial.com/?feed=ics )
then the feed files are available to me in the browser. I can download them, the files validate at https://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/ and google is happy to import the files. So the file content is fine. Problem is when it’s not a human operating a browser. IE If I try use the urls directly (google “add by url”, or severinghaus validator or my test.icalevents.com ) then I get an error indicating that the url is not delivering an ics file.
my site tries to tell me what it is getting:
!<!– Some of the content returned is: string(200) “<html><title>You are being redirected…</title>
<noscript>Javascript is required. Please enable it before you are allowed to see this page.</noscript>
<script>if(document.co”
end of dump –>
Just to confirm that it is something on the frontandsocial site and not my events plugin, I repeated test with the plugin feed from my test site https://test.icalevents.com/?feed=ics
That is fine everywhere (google will add, validator is fine etc)
So it says to me that something is redirecting and/or doing a javascript check/message and this happening on ics feed urls (which it should not do as that makes no sense).
If you know what it is, disable it (and/or switch to std theme) and check how things go. Switch on again and if problem returns, then that is definitely it.
Do let me know how you go.
