Subscribe to 3rd party RSS

[James Mannion]

Hello,
We’ve just purchased Events Calendar Pro. One of the solutions we are looking for is how to subscribe to calendar RSS feeds from 3rd party sites and have them show up in our main calendar. I’ve read and applied to the best of my ability this knowledgebase article. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/subscribing-calendars-via-rss/#subscribing

I still cannot see how to have 3rd party RSS feeds show in our calendar. I currently have a plugin called Feedzy RSS installed and have subscribed to a 3rd party feed using that. How do I get this part setup. Thank you.

Hi James

Oh, I hope I can help clear this up.

The article you linked to is for those wishing to subscribe to your own site’s event calendar. Often people request this as a way to automate listing events inside email newsletters, like Mailchimp. RSS subscription is not a supported way to import events into your calendar. With just The Events Calendar, we only support uploading .csv files.

Our plugin, Event Aggregator supports importing events from sites such as Facebook, Meetup, Google/iCal, or other sites using The Events Calendar.

Can you tell me the source you are trying to import from? I can take a look to see if it’s possible.

Note: Events Calendar Pro adds features to The Events Calendar, such as different /events page views, recurring events, shortcode support, and more, but does not add importing capabilities.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Thanks Courtney. I was trying to add a feed from a calendar on another website. If the other site uses Events Calendar, I can import from their calendar into ours, but only if I have the Events Aggregator Add-on. Am I understanding this correctly? Essentially, as a test, I was trying to add this feed: https://www.watercanada.net/feed/
We are subscribed via RSS Plugin in wordpress.

Thanks,
Wesley

Yes James. To go from one site using The Events Calendar into another, Event Aggregator is needed.

I tried to import events from their site, and it looks like it is not our plugin. If they can provide you with alternate means, such as a .ics file, it could still be possible. So sorry about that.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

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!
