A friendly "Hello" to the board and its members!

I need some help and support concerning iCal-Export on Joomla 4. On our website I created a recurring event named "Kaffeetreff". It takes place every two weeks on Friday. The website calendar shows every date till the end of the year at the right time.

But after exporting the calendar via menu point "iCal Export" and "Send to Google calendar", only few dates are shown in my Google calendar: In May, June and July the is no date, August, September and October show just one of the two monthly dates and in December there is no date again.

Could you please help me or give me a hint in the right direction?
Can you download the export as an iCal file and zip it an attach it here - or post its content in your reply so we can see what repeats are being generated in the export

I'm sorry for posting twice. I wasn't sure whether I hit the right button at the end of my post

Anyway, thanks for answering so fast! I will attach the zip file in a few minutes.

The relevant part of the file is

I have highlighted the line that describes the repeat pattern - this says it repeats weekly until 1 jan 2024 with an interval of 2 (i.e. every 2 weeks) on the second friday

That last piece looks strange - you should not need a BYDAY specifier for a weekly repeat.

Can you upload a screenshot of the date/time section of the event editing page in JEvents so I can try to recreate the issue

We are having the same issue. We have an ics file from Google Calendar which has repeating event and is supposed to end in 2022 but still shows up on our calendar now. Help please!
