Event Year Not Saving Properly Until Manual Update

    I am using a plugin called WP All Import to automatically import events from our XML feed into the “Events” custom post type. http://www.wpallimport.com

    Everything is importing just great, with the correct date, time, event name, etc. However, it seems that the event year is not being saved properly.

    When I check the date within each event’s edit screen, it displays correctly as 2015. However, when I view either my events widget or the overall calendar view, the events do not display – presumably because they do not have a year set in the database.

    When I click “Update” on each event, the event then re-saves the year properly (without changing any of the fields) and displays both on the widget and the calendar view.

    Is there some way I can get this “update” to happen automatically?

    The address of the staging website on which I’m using the plugin is: http://ideabasekent.com/staging/slo/production/events/ (note that currently all of the events have been manually re-saved, so they are showing on the calendar).

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Hey @challahan,

    You may indeed be able to write code that automatically re-saves things after import – there are functions in WordPress core like wp_update_post() which would enable this, which you can learn more about here → http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_update_post

    I’d recommend reaching out to WP All Import’s support for, hopefully, some insight from them as to why this import would be failing on that one specific field.

    Cheers!
