    Hello,

    I have a problem where the custom attributes are not working. I have selected them unter Options and added

    #_ATT{eventurl}

    Neither in the event page, nor in another page with shortcode is the attribute working.

    [events_list orderby=event_start_time]<a href="#_ATT{eventurl}">#_EVENTNAME</a><br />[/events_list]

    Another question:
    The Orderby function – I can´t really get if I have to add the placeholder there or the actual “event_start_time” as explained on the website. Because that doesnt seem to work….

    Maybe someone can help me out.

    Greetings

    It did seem to work all the time, however, I got some problems, I suppose, by using WP All Import Pro.

    I have imported XML Files and created Events with them.

    I did this a couple of times and deleted the Events in between inside Events Manager. Sometimes I clicked “delete posts” in WP All Import Pro too.

    In the end, some events where still in the wp_em_tables in MySQL Database even though I had no entries in the Events Manager.

    So be careful…

    Hey,

    WP All Import creates Posts and can use custom fields. On the first import from WP All Import it creates the posts under “events”. They yet do not appear in wp_em_events because the posts are marked as “drafts”.

    When updating the XML again, the events get updated and because of that, i think, converted into “events” appearing in wp_em_events.

    I was wondering which action creates an event and which action creates a post within Events Manager?

    And can I set custom fields such as _events_status from outside the plugin (inside WP ALl Import, where I can set custom fields of a post/event)?

    hmm, I think it should also add the imports to the events table (wp_em_events)

    eg.
