Can I export events from one site to another?

[James]

Hi,

We are currently building a new site and rather than having to add events manually we wondered if it is possible to export events from one site to another?

Thank you

Hi James,

Since the events reside in the WordPress database, you’d need to use a database migration tool to do that. (Maybe WP Migrate DB?) If you have some MySQL-fu you might be able to accomplish that. But there is no export feature.

(Although we just recently added a CVS import feature. So a kludgy workaround might be to do an iCal import into Google, if you have the PRO version, and then export a CSV from there? Haven’t tried that. Just a thought.)

Hi Julke,

Where do the Events reside in the mySQL database?

Thanks.

Julie. Sorry for the typo.
Are the events in one record?
Thanks.

Hi Dan,

The events are essentially a custom post type and handled as such in the database. There is one record in the posts table, but many in the posts meta table.
