Single event iCal file is empty

    For getting an iCal file with all events in the Events Manager the URL …/events/events.ics is used, activating the URLs downloads a rich iCal document with all events in it.

    For getting an iCal file of a single event the #_EVENTICALLINK placeholder is added to rendering information about the event like [events_list_grouped mode=”daily” …] #_24HSTARTTIME #_EVENTLINK #_EVENTICALLINK [/events_list_grouped].
    Clicking on this #_EVENTICALLINK downloads an iCal file – but it is in fact empty. The file name is the name of the event and the content of the file is:

    BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//wp-events-plugin.com//5.981//EN
END:VCALENDAR

    Is there a setting wrong? Or whatelse?

    Do you have a sample link to your site with this issue for us to see and analyze, please? also, did you already set iCal scope=future to Events > Settings > Formatting > Calendar?

    That’s a test page of a website in German.
    https://www.pfarregersthof.at/komm/tests/kalender-test-1b/

    To the right of each event I have set all the EM placeholders of iCal in an angle bracket:

    This is the used shortcode:

    [events_list_grouped mode="daily" scope="past" order="DESC" pagination="1"]{has_time}#_24HSTARTTIME: <span style=background-color:#_CATEGORYCOLOR>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> {has_tag_INFOTEXT}#_EVENTLINK{/has_tag_INFOTEXT}{no_tag_INFOTEXT}#_EVENTNAME{/no_tag_INFOTEXT} (#_LOCATIONLINK) {#_CATEGORYLINK} -- [#_EVENTICALLINK | <a href=#_EVENTICALURL>iCal URL</a> | #_EVENTWEBCALLINK | <a href=#_EVENTWEBCALURL>WebCal URL</a>]<br />{/has_time}{all_day}<span style=background-color:#_CATEGORYCOLOR>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> #_EVENTNAME<br>{/all_day}[/events_list_grouped]

    I think the scope should make no difference in creating iCal content. We’ve tested it on a “future” page with the same results, but we don’t want use not working links on pages for the public.

    I see what you mean, unfortunately, we are unable to replicate this on our test server and it seems to be working fine. Have you tried WP Safe mode to narrow down the problem? also, what is your current WP, PHP, and EM version?

    I have no experience with the WP Save Mode plugin – and haven’t used it.
    Current versions: WP 5.5.1, PHP so far 7.3, upgraded to 7.4 today (error not fixed), EM 5.981.
    Today I also deactivated all plugins except EM and the ones required by the theme (TagDiv Newspaper). The empty iCal file was not filled by this action.

    Add-on: I’ve installed and tested the EM plugin on my own WP site: PHP version 7.3, same WP version, same theme – but on this site the iCal link provides an iCal file with all data:

    What about uninstall and re-install EM? How to save all the events in the database?

    Hi,

    Have you tried the latest EM Dev version 5.9.8.2? Also, try to reset Timezone under Events > Settings > General > Admin Tools

    You can also try to uninstall EM without losing any events however you still need to backup your entire database first for safety purposes.

    Thanks
