Hi guys
I found an unanswered post on this, but no solid answers. I’m trying to migrate about 1000 events for a website (old site to new site in progress; also changing hosts) and receive the error: “Failed to import “Annual Strawberry Festival”: Invalid post type sp_events” whenever I try to import the xml file via the WordPress Importer. Previously I was able to import -but everything had the year 1970 (or something random like that) but can’t even get that to happen now.
Previous site is running Events Calendar Pro 1.3 and new site has The Events Calendar PRO 2.0.11
The full URL to get to the staging site is 74.53.25.211/~explore
Any guidance is thoroughly appreciated! I’ve deactivated, reactivated, changed a lot (and lost a bunch of changes I’d made doing so too….quite frustrating…) please let me know what I need to do here.. thanks!
Moving from 1.3 to 2.0.11 is quite a jump and ideally we recommend regular updates from one minor release to the next to avoid problems like this.
What I’d suggest here, if possible, is upgrading your 1.3 site to 1.3.3 first of all and then upgrading to the current version. You should then be able to export/import a little more easily. You can grab 1.3.3 here:

If that isn’t possible you might need to manually amend the import data so that references to sp_events are replaced with tribe_events.
Thanks! I did a find/replace in the xml and that worked great! Didn’t want upgrade the prior version, as there are a lot of bugs in the previous site and didn’t want to risk having something else go awry.
Worked great — thank you!
