Migrating from All in One Events Calendar

[Jeffry Campanero]

HI there,

I am Jeff, I am looking to purchase your plugin for a number of my clients who currently are using the All-In-One-Events Calendar.

We are no longer happy with how the current plugin is being supported as the last update we did on the plugin, ruined how the calendar is displayed. So since then, we haven’t been able to update our clients plugins in fear of it ruining the site. There was no definite “patch” to fix the problem and it seems like people are also going through what we did.

Before we make the purchase, we wanted to test the full functionality of this plugin. So I do have a few questions.

1. Is there a way to demo the ical import add-on plugin with the demo events calendar?
• I just want to make sure that we can easily import a lot of events from the current plugin into the new plugin.
2. What would be the best way to import all our current and past events from the All-In-One Events calendar? Our current clients use the calendar plugin heavily for their business, so we want to be able to have a seamless/smooth transition into your plugin. Especially insuring that everything gets exported/imported.
• Event Name
• Event Details (time, date, repeated dates, location name, location address, organizer information)
• Featured image
• Categories
3. I see that you guys have a bundle for the Events Pro, Event Aggregator and filter bar and for 3 sites it is $289. Do you guys have something for 4 sites?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and answer my questions.
I will look forward to your response.

Thanks,

Jeff

Good evening Jeff and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

Great question. Actually our iCal import plugin has now been replaced by our Events Aggregator service: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/event-aggregator/

We unfortunately do not have a demo available. But, you can totally test it out risk-free.

This is possible because you are fully entitled to a refund if you want one as long as you are within 30 days of your purchase. To obtain the refund, you just need to follow the procedure described here.

According to timely’s documentation, the only export method available is through a .ics file.

The downside of that is that this format will most likely not include all of the above info (because of the nature of the ics format.

In other words, this will leave you with a one-time transition effort of manually “filling in the blanks”.

But the good news is that there is an alternative.

You could use WP All Import to achieve exactly what you want: http://www.wpallimport.com/ . As you can imagine, this is slightly outside the scope of our support, but their tutorials are great.

This should make for a much more solid transition on your end.

3. I see that you guys have a bundle for the Events Pro, Event Aggregator and filter bar and for 3 sites it is $289. Do you guys have something for 4 sites?

Unfortunately we do not at this point, but I will absolutely relay that fantastic suggestion to our product team.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

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. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
