Uninstalling CE, moving to another Web site

[Neil]

Hello

Back in March, I purchased Community Events (order # 1095648) and installed it on one of our Web sites. We have decided to move it to another one as it did not gain enough traction.

I would appreciate directions to complete the migration successfully.

Will past events (about a dozen) remain on the events calendar?
What about both of the upcoming ones which are upcoming?

Thank you
Neil

Hi Neil.

I’m uncertain exactly what you’re asking, but I’ll provide info based on my best guess…

If you deactivate Community Events plugin, the front-end create/edit event forms will be gone, but the events will remain as long as you still have The Events Calendar active.

All events remain on the calendar unless you delete them.

If you have future/upcoming events created via the CE form, again, the events will remain but deactivating the CE plugin will make it so the event author will no longer be able to edit the event on the front-end.

I hope this clears things up for you. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Thank you. You’ve clarified a lot, Cliff

So if I deactivate CE from 2.Oakland, I can set it up with another site which has TEC already installed – correct?

And

By deactivating CE via the plugins module on the WP back end, am I also “disconnecting” it from the 2.Oakland Web site too? Or is that another step I have to take in my account on the Account > My License Keys page?

Thanks again
Neil

Sure thing.

You can technically install the Community Events plugin’s .zip file to however many sites. Inputting your license key, though, is how you enable automatic updates and defines the site we can provide support for.

So, for this short-term transition period, you can actually have it installed and activated on both sites, but you’ll want to go to wp-admin > Events > Settings > Licenses and delete the license key from your old site and input it to your new site.

If this doesn’t disconnect your old site from your account right away (i.e. free up the license to be entered to your new site’s settings), you can also manage your license keys at https://theeventscalendar.com/license-keys/

I hope this works smoothly for you.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
