CSV import/export

[Bayer]

Hello to all,
I have n issue with importing events from a CSV-File. I cannot get the right format to import that file so I thought it would be the best way to actually EXPORT a CSV-file to see what the file should exactly look like. Is there a way to do so?
Further info: I am using PRO and I have added some custom fields as well. i do not think that it is an UTF-8 issue as I have converted it and the same problems occur.

Thanks!

Hi @buerobayer,

I’m sorry to hear you are hitting difficulties with the importer.

I cannot get the right format to import that file so I thought it would be the best way to actually EXPORT a CSV-file to see what the file should exactly look like. Is there a way to do so?

If you mean can The Events Calendar export data in CSV format the answer is no, not at this time. Besides being UTF-8 format, there is nothing particularly unusual about the form of CSV the importer accepts – just regular, comma-delimited fields optionally with a header row, like this:

title, description, start time, start date, end time, end date
Basketball Contest, Semi-finals, 10:00, 2014-03-01, 14:00, 2014-03-01
Tennis Club, Practice, 16:00, 2014-04-02, 18:00, 2014-04-02

We do also have a new user primer relating specifically to the CSV importer that you may wish to review.

Does that help?
