Importing events and venues

[Nanz M]

Hi there

I have an existing entertainment that I am exporting to WP and I have got an CSV of venue details that include the lat and long values.

Do I need to buy the Pro version first before I can upload lat and long to the DB?

Also if I have the Pro version, will the license work on my local version of WP (on my development machine) as well as the live domain?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in our plugins 🙂

Whether you’re using PRO or not, you need to include the address of a venue on the Venues CSV file, and not the lat/long.

However, by using PRO, you could make good use of Additional Fields and also display your events on Google Map.

Regarding the license, you could use it on a dev/staging site without it counting toward your license’s maximum allowed sites if its domain name is clearly a dev or staging site. You’ll find more explanations on this page: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-one-license-live-dev-sites/

I hope this helps,

Cheers,
Jeremy
