all my old events disappeared when I deactivated Timely and installed TEC/PRO

I dunno if this is a topic for you or for Timely, but I’m hoping you can help ‘cos they’re a mess. I deactivated the Timely all-in-one events calendar and installed yours, but all my old events are now gone. Do I just need to get over it and move on, or is there any way to get the old events back without also going back in time content-wise? I use WP Engine so I have a good backup archive.

OK, so I’m afraid that if you set up a number of events with a different events plugin and then deactivate that plugin you normally will not be able to access them (unless you reactivate time.ly of course).

The Events Calendar stores events in a different format and is, in a sense, blind to time.ly format events that might exist in the database.

With that said, we do ship a CSV importer so if you can in turn export your time.ly event date in CSV format (or some other format – and convert it to CSV using a spreadsheet application or similar) you could move things across that way.

Does that help?

Thanx. I’m going to ask Jesse Petersen (Petersen Media Group) to help me with this — he’s my tech guru. Will come back here if there are any more questions.

Sure – I hope you get things sorted 🙂
