Automatically Import all Facebook Events

[Chris]

Hello,

I am interested purchase the bundle for event.
it this bundle I would like to automatically publish ALL active events from
– a list of venues. –> this one I understand is OK
– any venue located within a given city –> this is where I am not clear.

Thanks
Chris

Howdy Chris,

I would love to help you with this.

a list of venues. –> this one I understand is OK

Definitely, you can specify which Facebook IDs or venues to import from.

any venue located within a given city –> this is where I am not clear.

The only way to do this would be to hunt down the Facebook IDs for venues in that city on Facebook. If one of the IDs you has contains venues for multiple cities, then you would want to do a manual import and select which of there events to import.

Does that all make sense and help clarify how this will behave? Please let me know.

Cheers!

thanks for your prompt and clear response. I really appreciate.
So If I understand well, I need to register first in the admin of your module the list of Facebook IDs I want to subscribe then the feed will be automatic.

Now the question is about set up.
I start from scratch I have the chance to live in a touristic place with a lot of events.
Tourists are looking for what’s going tonight and venues need exposure for their recurring and one-time events.

I start from scratch with no theme, no template. just the willing to make it and invest a bit of money to implement it fast.
what wordpress theme would you recommend?
I look for a mobile first web site focusing on events and discount coupon the users would show to the venue to get a special discount.

cheers

Howdy again,

So If I understand well, I need to register first in the admin of your module the list of Facebook IDs I want to subscribe then the feed will be automatic.

Exactly! And you can automatically import every event from those IDs, or you can do a manual import which will show a list of events for each and you can place a check next to any you wish to import.

I start from scratch with no theme, no template. just the willing to make it and invest a bit of money to implement it fast.
what wordpress theme would you recommend?

Our plugin is broadly compatible, most themes work great with it. An exhaustive list of themes that support it is just not possible.

Here are just a few themes where the theme author has said they support The Events Calendar. What this means is that the theme author has specifically tested the theme with our calendar and not seen any issues. Further the theme author should provide you with support if you do encounter any issues between The Events Calendar and the theme.

• Theme Forest: 200+ Themes that support The Events Calendar
• Avada – This is a very popular theme, and the authors are incredible

The only group of themes that I would not recommend would be the page builder/visual composer style themes. These are broadly incompatible with many WordPress plugins, and from time to time we see issues between them and our plugin as well. Basically anything that discards WordPress built-in tools for styling pages and uses its own is unlikely to be widely compatible with the rest of the WordPress eco system.

Does that help point you in the right direction theme wise?

Cheers!
