Migrating The Events Calendar Pro to a new server

[Shane]

I am in the process of redesigning my site and I want to migrate my events calendar data from my current installation to my sandbox.

How do I import all data – events plus settings – to my sandbox?

Also, do I need to have more than one key for my software installations? Thanks.

Hey Shane,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

To migrate your events from one calendar/site to another, you can use the WordPress Import and Export tools.

Regarding your second question, you can use one license key for both your live and dev sites. You will find further information about this here.

I hope this helps!

Let me know if you need anything else and I’ll be happy to assist ?

Regards,

Patricia

Is there a way to import settings to my dev site?

Also, the filter bar license won’t work on both sites. Thanks.

Hi Shane,

Can you please specify which settings you want to import to your dev site that are not migrating using our proposed method?

Regarding the problem with the Filter Bar license, if you are unable to use the same license on both sites, download the latest release candidate for Filter Bar (from your downloads section), install/activate it in your dev site and just ignore the messages.

Let me know if you need anything else in the mean time and I’ll be happy to assist!

Regards,

Patricia

The file is too large I believe. It keeps timing out. The export file is 12mb.

Hi Shane,

Thank you for sending us further information on this!

The best/simplest way to solve this timeout issue is by increasing the max_execution_time in php.ini (the default value is 30 seconds):

max_execution_time = 60

If increasing the max_execution_time to 1 minute is still not enough, you can adjust/increase it more to ensure that the server will have time to process your requests before it hangs.

I hope this helps!

Let me know if you need anything else in the mean time and I’ll be happy to assist!

Regards,

Patricia

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.
