 * Hi everybody and thanks for the great plugin!
    I’m trying to migrate an old WP
   installation wich has been used as kind of events calendar and has many posts(
   with picture and some custom fields) each representing one event. The post date
   is the event date. Is it somehow possible to convert the posts to events (preserving
   the custom fields, if possible). Any hints how I could achive this are appreciated.
   Thanks in advance!
 * Best Regards,
    Tony.

 * sorry this is not possible out of the box and you might need to import your post
   to csv then use importer like
