Problem using import csv – Venues and Events

[Nicolas]

I have simple list of 54 venues i am trying to import and no matter what we try only 1 venue is imported.

The response is:

Import complete!

Inserted: 1
Updated: 53
Skipped: 0

We have made sure that the csv is the in the right format. The same problem was addressed here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/problem-using-import-csv-venues-and-events/#post-107030 but nobody deemed important to share what solved the problem (which is crazy, considering that many users manage to find answers to their problems by browsing forums).

Once Venues added, I will upload the Events export. Hopefully, this will work too…

Could you help me address this, please?
Thx

I noticed that the issue described in my previous thread is caused by the fact that all my venues are imported under a same post ID (1231), instead of a different post ID per each venue/entry. However, the import feature does not seem to include any “ID” field, which seems to cause the above mentioned problem.

Hi,

Sorry for the issues here.

This is a bug due to a change in WordPress 4.5 to the post_search filter.

We have a fix coming in the Events Calendar 4.1.3 later this week.

However, to fix right away please change the contents of this file:

Please note you must correctly change the entire contents of the file as any mistake could cause the website to go down.

the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Importer/File_Importer.php

With this:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moderntribe/the-events-calendar/release/4.1.3/src/Tribe/Importer/File_Importer.php

That should resolve the issue for you.

Let us know how that works out.

Cheers

Thanks Brian, this worked perfectly; I managed to import the list of Venues (using the WP “import” feature, as Tribe Event’s import feature missed some import fields), and all venues have been create properly.

I’m gonna report another issue in a new thread, as when I imported my list of events (after venues were imported), it created duplicates for each events. Url appeared as /event/my-special-event/all/ and /event/my-special-event-2/all/

Thanks!

[Brian]

Sounds good.

I am going to close this ticket to new replies, but the issue is still open and we will update this ticket once we release a fix later this week.

If you have any new questions or issues please create a new ticket and reference this one.

Thanks
