iCal Export: Biweekly recurrences are exported as weekly (missing INTERVAL=2)

    Hi,

    As the title says, biweekly recurrences are not working correctly when imported into Google Calendar on mobile. They appear as weekly events instead.

    I checked the ICS feed using curl and noticed that the RRULE is missing the interval directive.

    Command: curl "https://www.esperanceetvie.ca/feed/my-calendar-ics/?dy=1&month=5&yr=2026" | grep RRULE

    Output: RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20360526T000000Z

    It seems it’s missing INTERVAL=2;. It should be RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;UNTIL... to be correctly recognized as a biweekly event.

    Is there a fix or a specific setting I missed? Thanks!

    I’m looking at this to debug; it definitely *should* be there, just have to see why it’s not being produced. I assume this event has a recurring set up that’s every 2 weeks?

    I just did a test in my dev environment, and that does give me an INTERVAL=2, as expected, so I’m not sure what might be different about your event. Can you tell me how it’s set up?

    For some reason, the event menu was showing a repeat interval of 1, even though the calendar correctly followed the bi-weekly schedule I originally set. After manually updating the interval to 2, RRULE is now correct:

    RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20360526T000000Z
    RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;UNTIL=20360531T000000Z
    RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;UNTIL=20260526T000000Z
    RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=2;UNTIL=20360531T000000Z

    Thanks!
