 * I’m attempting to export settings from the Events Manager plugin so that I can
   use the exact same settings setup on another site. Is this possible?

 * at the moment only bookings can be exported however you can use phpmyadmin instead;
   e.g. you can export wp_em_* tables

 * **WARNING. REQUIRES EDITING THE DB, BACK EVERYTHING UP TWICE. THIS HAS ALSO NOT
   BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED, IT JUST WORKED FOR ME ONCE.**
 * To export the settings, I was able to do it through phpmy admin. First go to 
   the DB and open the options table then query for and export all fields whose 
   name stats with em_ or dbem_. Next go to the new site, install the plugin and
   remove all the em_ and dbem_ fields. Next drop the previously exported fields
   into the new sites options table, and finally go to the settings pages and click
   the udpate button on all settings pages.
 * That seems to have pulled all the options over for me.
 * Also, exporting the wp_em_* tables will pull them over some of the information
   as far as actual events, but I think you nned the entries in post meta table 
   as well or things won’t link up. I decided to not mess with it and just re-entered
   all the actual events.
