CSV Import Date Errors

[victoria bell]

Each time I import my events, the date imports as 1970. I have tried multiple date formats (M-D-Y, Y-M-D, D-M-Y). they all fail.

Sample csv row below:

Solar Stage Children’s Theatre 4950 Yonge St Toronto Ontario Canada 416-368-8031 Halloween $16 Hallowe’en Howl (3-8yrs) 31-10-2015 01-11-2015 11am, 2pm http://www.solarstage.on.ca Join Alistair Ant and his friends for a Hallowe’en party. Songs and audience interaction make this a puppet show not to be missed. 2yrs+

Hi,

Sorry for the issues you are having. I can help out here.

This is the date format that works for me:

10/7/2015

(mm/dd/yyyy)

And for time formatting it should look like this:

20:30:00

Including being in the 24 hour clock.

If you try it that way does it work for you?

Hi Brian,

Thanks. What do I do if the event repeats say, every wednesday or on the 23rd, 27th and 30th of the month?

Hi,

The CSV Importer does not support recurring events at this time.

So you could import the first event and then go in and add the recurring settings that way for it to repeat.

We have this guide on everything that can be imported along with samples to download:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
