Copying Events from dev to production via database

[verrado]

Hello –

My team recently transferred our site to new hosting. Unfortunately there were some events created after we copied down production and are missing them in the new hosting environment. I was wondering your best recommended method on copying events calendar tables from the old database to the new without potentially overwriting any new events they’ve made while restoring the missing posts – do you have any documentation on this? I would do this by hand, but I’m realizing that they have many recurring events, so it makes it tricky. is there some sort of export/import feature that allows “overwrite if newer” kind of option? I see an import feature but no export for events.

Thanks in advance!

Matt

Hey Matt,

Thanks for reaching out.

This is unfortunately one of this things that is a bit tricky to do well no matter what. But you may find the methods described here a bit more straightforward than others, and I would recommend checking these out ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-wordpress-export-tools-to-migrate-events-content/

Let us know if that helps!
