    @tnolte I’m sorry I haven’t replied earlier, I haven’t recognized your post before.
    I could solve my issue and it really had to do with the date format.

    I wrote the support of WP All Import, and that’s what they replied:

    In order for events to be visible on the front-end of the site, the following fields must have data filled in:

    _EventStartDate
    _EventEndDate
    _EventStartDateUTC
    _EventEndDateUTC

    And they need to have the dates & times provided in the format shown here: https://d.pr/i/SYuAjY – as this is what The Events Calendar expects.

    I hadn’t filled in all of the required fields and my date format wasn’t correct. After changing that, it finally worked.

    Maybe this can help you?

    Update:
    I had a closer look at the WordPress database and I noticed something.
    Whenever I manually create an event, there are two new entries in wp_posts and a few entries in wp_postmeta, which obviously contain event metadata like time, date and so on.
    However, when I auto-create an event with WP All Import, I only get ONE new entry in wp_posts and none in wp_postmeta.
    As soon as I open the auto-created event in the editor and update it (still without changing anything), the second entry in wp_posts and the data in wp_postmeta are finally added and the event’s displayed in the frontend of my website.

    How come this doesn’t happen automatically during the import? And how can I resolve this?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi,

    you could use a little trick … in the plugin’s settings you can set your default currency – in your case “CHF”.
    In order to create a space before the currency, just type an empty space before it. So that you have ” CHF” defined as your currency instead of “CHF”.
    Probably not the most elegant solution, but it will do.

    Best regards
