Pulling event category from another site

[larajdesigns]

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to display events from this website: http://visitdaltonga.com/

Onto this website: http://dev.larajdesigns.net/daltonconvention/

without having to export the events and duplicate them or create twice each time? Basically everything from this category: http://visitdaltonga.com/venue/dalton-convention-center/

Thanks!

Hi!

If both sites are running up-to-date copies of both WordPress and The Events Calendar, then you should be able to import events from one site into the other via our “Other URLs” import feature — part of Event Aggregator.

theeventscalendar.com/product/event-aggregator

Please note that, officially, this is still considered beta-functionality – but it should meet your needs 🙂

Let me know if that helps or if you have any further questions.

Thanks, will there be a way to tell it to import one category only? I don’t want it to pull all events from the other site.

I’m afraid that isn’t currently supported – but you can refine by keywords.

If you happen to control both websites then you will possibly be able to update the source event titles/descriptions to take advantage of keyword-based refinement.

Alternatively, it would be possible to filter out events not matching your custom criteria post-import via some custom development work – but I’m afraid it’s beyond the scope of provided support to walk you through that. Since we add events and event data via the WordPress API, though, you are able to take advantage of all the hooks that WordPress provides to make further alterations to the data 🙂

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!
