Want to make sure importer add-on will do what I need AND we’re non-profit

[Rebecca McVeigh]

We are getting ready to go live with our new website, and have the calendar program, which has been a lot of fun to play around with. Our hosting company purchased the plug-in for us, but we are a non-profit organization. It took me 4 hours to load in 2 months’ worth of events, many of which are repeating. So I’d like to know if the special add-on you’re selling (currently $89) would help with this BEFORE our organization spends more money on the website. Thanks!

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for getting in touch — I’m really glad to hear you’ve been using The Events Calendar and that you’ve enjoyed using it so far. That’s awesome!

Events Calendar PRO will not make the process of importing events any easier. That said, it does include a bunch of additional features for things like extra calendar views, custom event fields, recurring events, shortcodes, to name a few.

And, if you’re interested in Events Calendar PRO, then I would suggest looking into our nonprofit program to see if your organization qualifies. If it does, then we’d be happy to grant you a free license of the plugin. 🙂

The special add-on you’re probably referring to though is Event Aggregator. This does indeed make adding events to WordPress much easier, if you are moving events from one place (like Google Calendar or Facebook) to your site.

The nice thing about Event Aggregator (other than making it easy to import events from other sources) is that there is nothing to install. Simply purchase a license, enter it on the Events > Settings > Licenses screen and the importing features will be unlocked on the Events > Import screen.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

I have applied to the nonprofit program. It sounds like Pro might be enough. I was asking about the importing because I figured that was the only solution to adding events, etc. every single time one was scheduled, but I feel that being able to put in recurring events will solve that issue just as well.

Excellent! Thanks for following up and we’ll look forward to reviewing your application.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but let us know if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
