Bulk Edit Event Month

[Savannah Crayon]

Hi, I want to bulk edit the month of several events. Is this possible? Does the PRO version offer this option? I don’t want to edit the date, just the month. Going into each post and updating the date individually takes way too much time and the quick edit option just schedules posts and doesn’t update the post date. Please advise…

Hi Savannah,

Thanks for reaching out! WordPress’s bulk edit tool doesn’t allow for the editing of event start and end dates, but you can edit the dates of multiple events at once by using a third-party CSV import/export tool. Simply export your calendar events to CSV format (the tribe_events custom post type houses all The Events Calendar events), open the file in a spreadsheet application of your choice, and edit the dates specified for your desired events in the following fields:

• cf__EventStartDate (event start date in your event’s time zone)
• cf__EventEndDate (event end date in your event’s time zone)
• cf__EventStartDateUTC (event start date in UTC)
• cf__EventEndDateUTC (event end date in UTC)

Once you’ve finished making your edits, you can import this CSV again using your preferred tool, and your changes should be applied to the events on your calendar.

I hope that helps! Thanks again, and let us know if you should have any other questions! 🙂
