Pulling Venues and Organizers with Calendar Syncs

[Steve Guy]

The ical importer seems to import the events with no issue… buut, it does not pull venue and organizer post types. This feels like a deal-breaker since migrating most, but not all data, would be hard to maintain.

What other plugin or solution might you recommend that helps pull all data associated are migrated as well? I’ve tried the ALL WP import / export plugin, which does pull the other post types, but I’d like to find a solution with your plugin. If there is one.

thanks.

Hey Steve,

Thank you for posting and welcome to our forums 🙂

The iCal Importer should pull in venue information. If for some reason it’s not, can you please review our tTesting for conflicts guide and report back with what you learn?

We currently have a feature ticket logged to include organizers in iCal imports, but I unfortunately can’t guarantee that will ever come to fruition nor give any timeline. Reason I am unsure it will ever happen is there aren’t dedicated fields for organizers included in iCal feeds.

Our CSV importer does a lot of great things and I personally like Really Simple CSV Importer. We are always looking for ways to streamline the process for our customers, but we are limited on what we can do based on the information available from 3rd party entities.

I hope this clarifies your questions and please feel free to respond with any questions or comments you have.

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!
