I have three questions here. Let me know if you prefer that I open 3 tickets:
— When does the hourly chron job run? Top of hour? Can it be adjusted?
— Is there a shortcode I can use to create an event entry form on a page on my site? I’m hoping to use Builder to create a streamlined form and while I can see where you can pick the default form for display with the calendar itself, no mention is made on how to place a specific Builder-created form on a page. I'm hoping to create a streamlined version of the form for staff to use.
— Having problems with recurring events coming out of Google Calendar. The event I looking at specifically is set to repeat each Monday until Oct. 20. It pops in via the chron job update through August, but nothing in September and October. I had the same problem when I tried importing it via the .ics. file instead of the chron job. (I tried adding the .ics file as an attachment but it wouldn't let me.)
- You can read about Wordpress' cron here. It is not the same as system cron. Basically each time your site is visited wordpress checks if 1 hour has passed since the last execution. If your site is not visited at all the cron will not run.
Wordpress' cron can be replaced with real system cron. Check out this tutorial.
- Standalone submit form shortcode: [stec_submit_form]
- Compress the .ics file to zip archive and try to attach it again.
