Connecting Venues to events in CSV Import

[Paul]

Good Morning. I have a large community calendar which I imported as a csv. There is a Venue csv and an Event csv. Is there any way to map the venue to the event or do I have select the menu manually for each event?

Thanks for your answer – Paul

So to explain possibly a little better.

I have a regional calendar with several hundred events, separated by categories. This exists as a google calendar and I’m moving to The Events Calendar.

I created separate csv files for venues including venue and location.
I also created an event csv file which includes the event information. I feel I’m missing something because there doesn’t seem to be any what to link the venues with their events out side of going through each event and selecting the venue from the drop down menu. Each event has it’s own venue so there are a lot of them and it’s tedious and a bit confusing to have to go into each event and manually select the venue. It would be easy to make a mistake and have the wrong venue listed.

Let me know if there’s a step that I missed.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

The CSV file for the events should include a column for Venue and Organizer. As long as those match the data in your Venue and Organizer CSV files, they will be automatically associated. Does that help? You can download some example CSV files here to see what I mean. You’ll also want to read through our New User Primer for the CSV Importer.

Please note that this forum is for people asking questions about our premium plugins, and not a place to get support for The Events Calendar. If you need help but do not have a premium license, you need to post in our open-source forum at wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar/. Thank you!

Cheers,

Leah
