Howdy crack00r,

I can not replicate this bug. When I import an event, my venue correctly populates with data from Facebook. Perhaps the venues your are importing do not have their address data in the right field on Facebook, and thus are not imported properly. Could you try importing this event from August of 2013? When I import it the City/State/Zip specified on Facebook are all imported into the Rio Hotel venue as seen here.

Please let me know what happens. Thanks!

Good call on posting links to your events, definitely helped me troubleshoot. When you add/edit a Facebook event on Facebook, as you type in location’s name or address it starts searching for that place. If you do not click on one of the places in the popup searchbox, then Facebook never populates its internal address field, it just uses what you typed in as the title.

Ultimately, this is a limitation of Facebook’s API, not something we can fix. If you are not able to find the place you are looking for in the “where” popup search box on Facebook and thus click on it, then there will be no address available for our plugin to import. You will have to manually copy that data into the venue details.

I wish I had better news. Does that make sense? Please let me know. Thanks!
