 * Hi Again and Everybody,
 * Need help. Lack of experience and fundamentals with WP I think. I doing something
   wrong here and unfortunately can not figure it out…
 * I used sample file for events and the only event that was imported was the last
   one… (05/05/2016 at 12:00)… When created it had current date not the one from
   the import file… I changed WP setting for date to match the sample file i.e. 
   MM/DD/yyyy but not luck.
 * Looks like notepad/wordpad/excel affect that sample file cause every time I save
   any changes to the sample file to work out date-time issue import process reports“
   imported 2 events and skipped 0” with none visible in the events list!!!
 * Any feedback is appreciated !

 * Hi again!
 * The event importer requires the following date format (regardless of the WP setting):
 *     ```
       yyyy/mm/dd
       ```
   
 * Hope this helps 🙂
