How Can I Import Multiple Events From a CSV File with the Same Name

[Jeremy]

I am attempting to set up my website to have multiple imported events with the same name. I can have the events set up as “recurring” events since the location, time, date, contact info, etc. are not consistent across events. When I import the events from a CSV File, the ones with the same name don’t all get imported (usually just the first one listed). Is there a solution to this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Jeremy,

Welcome back!

I’m sorry about the delayed response in that thread we are already working together. As already mentioned there, I was able to import your events with the same name, but different start dates.

It is not possible to import multiple events which are on the same date at the same time with the same name. Either the names have to be different (e.g. adding a different number at the end) or the start date / time, or the end date / time (although the end date / time I didn’t test).

Please try to import your events again, but including the Event Start date and the Event Description to your import as well (that’s what I did in my test).

Let me know your results and if for some reason the issue persists, please let me know and I’ll be happy to further investigate!

Regards,

Patricia
