Re: Trouble merging Google Calendar
Dear Support,

I too am having trouble where google is not updating its ical feed. I had the same problem with wordpress. There IS a solution that works with wordpress, but does not work with localendar.

In wordpress, you simply add "?noCache" to the end of your ical URL and it forces wordpress to somehow get a refreshed version of the ical feed.

So, instead of simply using the ical feed
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/.../basic.ics

you use
https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/.../basic.ics?noCache

Now, sometimes that will only work once and subsequent changes are not reflected in the ical feed. In that case, you can change ?noCache to something else, such as ?2noCache or ?3noCache

I suspect that adding ? and any other string to the end forces the update.

So, my question to localendar is, if this workaround works for wordpress, why can't it work for localendar? I have to emphasize that it really really does work in wordpress. I do it frequently. Feel free to contact me if you need any other information.
