Nice try but tried this and still doesn’t work. Says it’s done but no FB events appear.
It has been working great for me until a couple of days ago. Suddenly it quit syncing. I don’t know how to write php, so I just deleted and reinstalled both this plug in, and the events plug in it works with. No dice. I hope someone can help.
@tharkos: Thank you!! That was the last missing puzzle. As of 10.03.2014 the plugin works.
As a reference for others:
First hiccup was understanding that Facebook Page UID needs to be a number you find out by adding graph instead of “www” in front of facebook.com. It looks like this “id”: “130821973783” for the Facebook page https://graph.facebook.com/gwup.org?fref=ts
The second was changing to the strtotime code posted here. My starttimes from facebook looks like this. [start_time] => 2014-05-29T14:00:00+0200 … I bet thats why we need the string to time conversion.
Third
Add
$args[‘Organizer’][‘Organizer’] = $event[‘host’];
to about line 145 to have the host added to the post.
@managementboy, you sir, are a f@cking knight in shining armor. I got this up & running in 1.5hrs, and most of that was manual app installations via ftp & fb app setup.
Just wanted to give you a MONUMENTAL THANK YOU.

In my case i modify:
After the plugin didn’t import FB events. In my case I had to change this code in lines 125 and 127 of sync-facebook-events.php file
$offsetStart =($event['start_time'])+$offset;
$offsetEnd = $event['end_time']+$offset;
to
$offsetStart =strtotime($event['start_time'])+$offset;
$offsetEnd = strtotime($event['end_time'])+$offset;
and add line:
$args['Organizer']['Organizer'] = $event['host'];
to about line 145 to have the host added to the post.
Work like a charm, 5 min of job. Thank you
Thanks !
Someone give this men some beers!
😀
thanks to @tharkos–this solution worked perfectly for me; I was having the same problem. Thanks!!
Thx to tharkos 😉
You noticed that this plugin inserts or updates the WP calendar from FB events but not deletes FB events that have been cancelled. With this code in the sync-facebook-events.php file (line 110), the sync is really effective :
foreach($query->posts as $post) {
$exist=true;
if(!empty($post->to_ping)) {
$segments = fbes_segments($post->to_ping);
$eid = array_pop($segments);
$eids[$eid] = $post->ID;
foreach($events as $event) {
if ($eid==$event['eid']){
$exist=true;
}
}
if (!$exist){
if (tribe_delete_event($eids[$eid])){
echo "<br />Deleting: ".$eids[$eid];
}
}
}
}
