I haven’t tested the import yet, but I’ll be using CSV files. I see how Events, Venues and Organizers will link up….but how will Users be assigned so once it’s in place people can have access to modify their events?
Thanks
Hey Barry, and good question.
Unfortuantely, the CSV Importer does not import the event author and importing events from one site to another will be attributed to the user performing the import. We are working on an update to allow Custom Fields into the CSV Importer, but I think your best bet for now is to use the WordPress Import tool instead. The XML there should contain the author meta you are looking for. Either that, or a database migration.
Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Sounds like no matter how I do it there will be hand work involved. I’m not importing from a WP set-up even….it’s an old Perl script the client’s been using for 12 years! I was going to modify the CSV it exported to work with it but it sounds like it’s going to be messy.
If I did import them, is there a way to after the fact assign them to various users?
Oh man, I see what you mean! That does sound like a tough migration for any site, theme or plugin to handle.
Might be a long shot, but it could be possible to splice up your events into CSVs for each users and import logged as that user. Still, that sounds like a lot of work and I’m afraid the CSV Importer isn’t equipped to make things much easier for this specific situation.

Yeah…probably not worth that, but I’ll check with the client and see.
If I could access it as a plain post in WP admin I could change the author but there doesn’t seem to be a way to do it.
Might have to tell the client we can import them okay but the users can only work with new events they add from then on.
Thanks!
