Importing Recurring events

[Emily]

Hello
I’ve checked your knowledgeable article: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/csv-files-options-and-examples/ and downloaded the sample files, but cannot find any reference on how to list recurring events in the file to be imported.

I have a number of events that recur on a number of specific dates, so the recurrence rule would be date and I’d have a number of recurrences for each event. How can I represent this in the CSV file?

Cheers
Emily

Hi Emily. Thanks for your question.

None of our importers (e.g. CSV importer or iCal Importer) can import a recurrence series. Even our iCal Importer product — when a recurrence series is imported — converts each event in a series as a single, non-connected, standalone event in WordPress.

Sorry to have this limitation, but it’s just not possible at this time and from what I’ve heard not likely to be possible soon, if ever.

I hope this helps in some way.
