Upload ics file
Hi,

I am trying to import my outlook calendar into localendar for use in wordpress. I have followed the instructions how to upload the file, saving my outlook calendar as an .ics file. However when I select the file it says that 'Upload does not appear to be a valid iCalendar (ics) file'

Could you please provide some guidance of where I am going wrong?

Many thanks

Re: Upload ics file
Can you please give it another try - and open a support ticket (Contact Us in the footer) if it still doesn't work.

Tx

Hi,

I have tried again like you suggested and posted a message in the contact us, but not sure this has been received. I am still experiencing the same problem but get this message now:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Upload ics file
Tx. We'll follow this up via your ticket. It looks like the u/l is being mis-indentified as a CSV import for some reason and not ics.

Re: Upload ics file
Hi any update on this please? Temporarily I've manually added the Calendar events but this is not a viable long term solution for us.

Re: Upload ics file
Did you see our response to your ticket (a couple of days ago I believe)
This should be working correctly for some general quirkiness Outlook is doing. The ics doesn't actually pass as a valid iCal file at http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/
But we were able to make some changes to accommodate it.
