 * Hi, great Pluigin, great work!
 * Marcus, in this forum:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-bulk-import-event-upload](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-bulk-import-event-upload)
   in post #19 you gave the important advice with the _-Prefix. This work great 
   for the start- and end-data and -times. But not for other things in the table
   like event_rsvp or event_rsvp_date. Is there a solution if I want to import via
   csv the data for these columns in the database table too?
 * This would be fantastic!
    Matt

 * (but requires custom coding on your part) maybe you can edit it’s source and 
   then use `$EM_Event->event_rsvp = 1;`

 * Thank you.
    But I’m sorry, I don’t understand your answer. Maybe I should specify
   my problem.
 * I want to import events with the help of the csv-Importer-Plugin “WP Ultimate
   CSV Importer”.
 * It works pretty well! If I chose there the custom post-type “event” I can assign
   the columns of my csv to some custom field that I need for a correct event within
   EM. This works well e.g. if I define the custom field “_event_start_time” (it’s
   not working if I define the custom field “event_start_time” – this was why the
   advice with the _-Prefix by Marcus was that important).
 * But it’s not working like that for some other custom fields I want to import 
   with the help of a csv. E.g. this “event_rsvp” or “event_rsvp_date” (doesn’t 
   help if I define “_event_rsvp_date”).
 * Maybe you can give me an advice here.
    If your answer is the right one please
   give me some further information how to handle that!

 * sorry haven’t tried that plugin before but maybe you can try _event_rsvp = 1 
   and _event_rsvp_date
