How Do You Migrate Events and Locations in EM?

    I need to migrate EM’s events, locations, and categories to another site.

    I’ve tried WP’s built-in Import/Export but the events and locations loose their relationships.

    I’ve tried manually migrating the database tables, but can’t get things to be all recognized properly in WordPress.

    Are there any support docs for this? I can’t seem to find them.

    How do you migrate? Thanks!

    Hi,

    Although a full import / export feature is being developed, it’s not yet available so there’s no online documentation.

    Is the new site you’re moving to a completely new site? Or does it have existing content?

    It is a completely new site.

    In that case, you can use a backup & restore plugin to export all the tables in the database of your old site (not just the ones that start with wp_em_), and import them into the new site.

    That’ll make sure all the related tables and data that Events Manager needs are moved across.

    Any other options?

    I misunderstood you… It’s a new site, but I’ve been working on it for a few weeks already, so it’s not a fresh install anymore.

    sorry for the confusion, you have your old site A and then wanted to migrate the events and locations from site A going to your new site B; is that correct?

    Correct.

    at the moment you can try to copy or use custom mysql query to export your Site A events and locations going to new Site B you might need to include tables with prefix dbem_ and since EM is using custom post type you might need to include table wp_postmeta and wp_posts matching the events/locations table post_id
