Title: import csv date error Last modified: October 11, 2022 --- # import csv date error * Resolved [pantsman28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pantsman28/) * (@pantsman28) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-csv-date-error/) * I have download your event sample csv file and edited the dates to time zone Europe/London to match system settings. Change the sample date to 18/10/2022 UK format When importing csv file it changes the dates to January 1, 1970 but they looked ok in the preview? * Also, does not import csv records in the Event Name field. I assume this has to be a unique name? However, we have reoccurring events, just on different dates. * How to set reoccurring events?

Major Bugs in this plugin. * After running more tests ALL DAY EVENT set to TRUE is also ignored.

Let’s see, could you use this extension and check the test data and check the format → [https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/test-data-generator/](https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/test-data-generator/). * To be safe, we’d recommend conducting these tests on a [Staging Server](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/). Also, please keep a working backup of your website. * Let us know how it goes. * Best, Abz * [GeoffBel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geoffbel/) * (@geoffbel) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-csv-date-error/#post-16112238) * Hey [@pantsman28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pantsman28/) * You are right about the unique name nature of an event for a given day in the context of a CSV import. Our apologies for the inconvenience. * I also ran some tests for the all-day = true being ignored and was able to replicate the issue. Yikes! We’ll be working on a fix for the all-day issue as soon as possible. * Thank you for bringing this to our attention! We’ll report back here once a fix is out. * Cheers, Geoff * Thread Starter [pantsman28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pantsman28/) * (@pantsman28) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-csv-date-error/#post-16113930) * [@geoffbel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geoffbel/) thanks for the update. This was a head scratcher regarding all-day event true. * also the date keeps referring to January 1, 1970…: I downloaded your csv-event- file-example.csv changed the date on the 1st record, imported this in to the plugin and the date changed to the above? * Do you want me to create a video so you can look into this issue aswell? * Thanks * Plugin Support [WilloftheD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abzlevelup/) * (@abzlevelup) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-csv-date-error/#post-16116990) * Hi [@pantsman28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pantsman28/), sorry to hear about this.

These shortcomings are not stated anywhere and don’t seem to be of any relevance for the TEC team to be improved. * Plugin Support [WilloftheD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abzlevelup/) * (@abzlevelup) * [3 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/import-csv-date-error/#post-16324464) * Hi [@maexx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maexx/), thanks for mentioning it as well.
