    we don’t have any import features atm but we’re planning on adding an ical importer soon. csv will probably not come along for a while.

    Hey there.
    First of all, let me say: Events Manager is a great tool and such a big help! I’m new to WordPress’ world and now searching for a solution how to handle lots of events in Events Manager. …

    I’m working for a NGO offering no-charge tickets for theatre, concerts and so on for people with low income. We want to implement a calendar on our website which shows all the events with free entry in one city – and serendipitously these are a lot.

    So is there any possibility to import e.g. Excel tables or something else to Events Manager?

    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Cheers!

    Hi
    I can’t understand that this function hasn’t been developped yet…
    I think (may be I’m wrong !) that a lot of EM users have thousands of events to edit…
    I believe in miracles… !

    Yes we would love to use this but an upload systen would be essential, typing it in for so many clients is a real pain.

    it won’t be a xmas miracle, but we’ll get there eventually

    I agree this would be a great feature.

    Great – thanks – much appreciated! I love the software btw but can’t really move forward without being able to import a file of events as lots already on our system!

    hi @tashmina,

    if you can code you can try the snippet above – http://pastebin.com/3UDjZ8Le (it’s using rss but maybe you can convert it to support ical)

    That’s kind of you, but sadly no I don’t code, and would not know where to start with this….! Thanks anyway!

    Dear Marcus

    You mentioned previously that “no eta atm, but given it’s a popular request we’ll be looking into this asap” – can I just ask whether you think we are talking days, weeks, months or years? Sorry to press you for more of a clue but I am just trying to work out a plan for my business….also, I guess there would need to be a simple upload for venues in a file (sorry,. locations) with their address details first as I don;t think one could have them stored in the ical file for each event before it is uploaded? Then a manual job to link them??!

    I’ve tried a lot of mass import plugins and I can tell that WP Ultimate CSV Importer works great to bulk import events !
    If this can save time to everybody… 🙂
