How do I do a bulk update?

[lvdesigner]

I have 150 events that I need to change. Can I export the category into a CSV file, make the changes and re import? I am not finding any information about this in the documentation or KB.

Please advise
Thank you!

Hi Pamela,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

The scenario that you are describing should work.  You can export your events via the WordPress Export Tool and then import your events into your calendar via CSV.  Here is some more information on CSV imports:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/csv-files-options-and-examples/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/importing-data-from-a-csv-file/

Let me know if that helps!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hi Jaime,
Will the system know to append the records versus create new events when I do the import?

I didn’t see anything in the help files where the system asks to update or overwrite existing events. The last thing I want is to duplicate that events,

Hi Pamela,

If you go to Events Settings < Imports, you should see some additional options for your CSV imports there.

Let me know if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

Jaime
