    Hello.

    We are migrating to your plugin and wish to bring our history. We are having a number of issues with the CSV import. The attached sample shows 2 lines that merge together into one listing. Also is there a quick way to delete all the ignored events?

    Thanks

    Hello again Harry,

    I checked the file and was playing around with it.

    The description field is causing the issue. There is a linebreak right at the beginning of the description and one right at the end. (screenshot) Once I removed those the import was fine.

    Not sure how and why those line breaks got there.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

    Cheers,
    Andras

    HI Andras.

    Thanks for finding that! It was clearly hidden…. LOL.

    Is there an easy way to bulk delete the ignored posts?

    I’m sorry, I totally forgot about this one. πŸ™‚

    I guess you could use a plugin like Bulk Delete for this, if the regular method (backend, list the ignored events, select all, delete) is not suitable.

    Would that do the trick?

    Looks like manually is the only was as of now, its a huge section (over 5,000 posts)

    From Bulk Delete:
    Hello Harry,

    The posts in β€˜ignored’ are internally managed based on custom post status (not category).

    Right now it is not possible do delete only them. But we are working on adding support for deleting posts based on custom post status.

    You can track the progress here https://github.com/sudar/bulk-delete/issues/108

    I will update this thread once we have implemented it.

    Sorry to hear that Harry.

    At the moment there is no other was I can think of.

    Note though, that if you delete an ignored event, then it will be re-imported with the next import (if the event fits the import filter criteria).

    Is there anything else I can help you with before closing this ticket?

    Cheers,
    Andras
