Facebook Events – different table?

[Tony Bell]

Hopefully a simple question. Does the Facebook Events plugin import events into a different table, or with a different table type?

I ask because we run an SQL script across our events database to extract events data from the database for import into a publishing package. The script is only picking up 400 events although I can see 1,000+ listed in The Events Calendar admin area.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Tony,

Thanks for reaching out!

“Events” – whether imported by Facebook or not – are just a post type within WordPress, so no there are no custom tables used for events at all at this time. They are stored in the wp_posts table whether you make them in your wp-admin yourself, import them from Facebook, import them from a CSV or anything, etc.

Does this information help? Let me know!

Yep that helps a lot George, it confirms what I thought and has narrowed down where I need to look for a solution.

Nice! Glad to help Tony – I’ll close up this thread for now, but open a new thread any time if there’s ever anything else we can help with.

Best of luck with your project,
George
