Facebook Events created by others?

[kimharp]

Hi! I just installed your Pro and Community plugins and am very excited to get The Events Calendar system going on my site.

Rather dumb pre-sales question about the Facebook addon: does this allow me to import events from only MY Facebook page, or can I pull events from any page I want? i.e other organizations who have events I’m interested in listing on my site?

Sorry if this is obvious but I can’t find the answer!

Hi there, Kimberly! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. We really hope you enjoy the plugins. 🙂

Good question. Yes, you can absolutely import events from other Facebook pages. Once the plugin is installed, there will be a “Import: Facebook” option under Events in your WordPress dashboard menu. From that screen, you can specify multiple accounts to import by providing the Facebook IDs for each account. Here’s a screenshot how that looks.

I’d also suggest checking out this handy tutorial before purchasing. It will give you a very detailed overview of how the plugin works from start to finish to give you a much better idea of what you’ll be getting.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
