 * We provide a link on month view (and other views, but that’s a good example) 
   which lets you download an .ical format file containing event data – take a look
   here for an example:
 * [http://wpshindig.com/events/](http://wpshindig.com/events/)
 * (Look below the calendar grid, on the right).
 * Hope that helps!

 * Hi there,
 * Is there any means by which – if a user has exported the ical file for the month–
   but then events are added/edited after the fact, to sync without re-exporting
   the ical file? or at least some means of doing it that will only import the new
   dates or changed dates without the user having a number of duplicate entries 
   in their calendar?
 * We are using it for a sport’s team site and the dates can be somewhat fluid.
 * Thanks for any insight you can give.

 * Subscribe to the URL webcal://example.com/events/ical
 * As your subscription updates the feed, newer events should be added.

 * Hi Andy,
    Thanks a lot for answering. I must be missing something – because when
   I try that url (with my own domain of course – webcal://2002aasabres.com/events/
   ical ) it comes up as not found. I am sure I am doing something incorrectly or
   need to change how something is configured. Are there any steps you can recommend
   i double check? Thanks again

 * kordic27, you must set your permalinks for something other than default.

 * I’ll have to look at the code as I don’t think it’s returning a complete list
   of events.

 * Howdy kordic27,
 * Andy’s suggestion sounds like exactly what you are looking for. If you do not
   wish to change your permalinks, then try the following URL instead:
    webcal://
   2002aasabres.com/?post_type=tribe_events&ical=1
 * Hope that helps. Cheers!
 * – Brook

 * Hi guys,
    THanks to both of you for trying to help me out. Full disclosure – 
   this is my first time trying to use wordpress so I have been slow to fully understand
   all of the nuances, so I appreciate your help and patience. Anyway, that link
   above did not work either. I have [screen captured my permalinks](http://mswebsolutions.com/wordpress/permalinks.jpg)–
   so maybe that will provide some insight into what i am doing wrong? Thanks again,
   kordic27 (aka Manfred)

 * ok, thanks. I did that. I changed it to ‘post name’.
    I also updated the .htaccess
   file so the existing links that broke now work using the new format. So, that
   part is all good. however this link: webcal://2002aasabres.com/events/ical still
   comes up as not found. any thoughts to where I might go from here? thanks M

 * Hi Andy et al,
    Thanks for getting back to me – again.
 * Hmmm, that is weird. It still does not work for me. I am at the point where I
   think I must be missing something obvious. I have plugged that URL (webcal://
   2002aasabres.com/?post_type=tribe_events&ical=1) into my phone’s browser as well
   as to my laptop’s IE, Chrome and Firefox it comes up with nothing.
 * If i use the alternate [http://2002aasabres.com/?post_type=tribe_events&ical=1](http://2002aasabres.com/?post_type=tribe_events&ical=1)—
   it does create an ical file to download – but it does create duplicates if you
   have already done an import and also it doesn’t seem to import all of the dates…
   just the first 10 or so…
 * (when I use the ical button on the site itself, it seems to import ALL of the
   date).
 * So, I am not sure what I am doing wrong…
