CSV event description breaking

[Trevor]

When ever I attempt to import a CSV file it seems to bug out and not import correctly it only ends up importing 261 on 292 events. I was able to source the problem back to the event description, if I remove it from the CSV the events import as expected. I’ve included the CSV to better help assist in locating the problem. I’ve tried adding a “\” in front of all commas with no luck.

Hi Trevor!

Thanks for reaching out to us. I am sorry you are having this issue.

I made a few import tests with the csv file you provided and as you said, the problem resides in the event description. Looking closely to the file, I found there are a few double quotes that may be the cause of the problem. You should try eliminating those double quotes and maybe use the emphasis html tags for quoting text inside the description field.

There is a great article that provides CSV file examples and details about the content each field should have here > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/csv-files-options-and-examples/

Let me know how that works for you.

Best!

Victor
