Pulling in a calendar

[Danielle Camorlinga]

Hi there,

We are considering purchasing the Pro version for our site and have a few questions.

1) Will we be able to pull events from an .ics file? Would those events then be editable through the website?
2) Will the listings on other pages be able to show more than 12 events at a time or offer pagination? ( Such as here: http://www.graceevfree.org/ways-to-serve-f/ )

Thank you!
Danielle

Hello Danielle and thanks for reaching out! I’m stoked to hear you’re giving The Events Calendar a good look. 🙂

1) Will we be able to pull events from an .ics file? Would those events then be editable through the website?

Right now, there are two ways to import events and they unfortunately do not involve an .ics file:

• Using our CSV Importer. We have more information on that here.
• Using the WordPress Importer. The same sort of deal for importing default WordPress posts under Tools > Import from the WordPress dashboard.

2) Will the listings on other pages be able to show more than 12 events at a time or offer pagination?

Sure! The feed that displays events uses the same WordPress global setting for how many posts show in your site feed under General > Reading from the WordPress dashboard. You unfortunately cannot set that one a page-by-page basis (as it sounds like you might be looking to do), but you are certainly welcome to create a new page template that makes a new query for events posts and set that number to something specific. Here’s an article that walks through the steps for creating a new events query.

Great questions! Does this help answer them? Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
