    Hi all, I’ve added roughly 100 events in Events Calendar Pro. Now it occurs to me that I’d like to add a custom text field to all of them. The text would be the same for every event. I’ve figured out how to add the custom field. Now, I need to add it to all of my events with the same text. Is there any way to do that in bulk so I don’t have to go back and edit every event individually?
    If I could also add the field and text to all events by default going forward that would be great too.

    Thanks!

    Howdy 1968rouleur,

    Good question. It sounds to me like you might not even want a custom field at all, as those are usually unique for each event. Rather, you would just like to disaplay some extra text in the Meta area of each event. To do that you can use our themer’s guide. That will walk you through how to make changes to the template of your event, and one of the many changes you can do is add text to the meta box. Since you are changing the template, this will retroactively add that text for all past events, and add it to all future ones as well!

    Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!
