A plugin like that will allow you to import feed items into any custom post type and import data from RSS tags into post meta fields. So in theory I am hoping I can import an RSS item into an event listing and match the RSS tags with the required meta fields for an event in the calendar. Or if necessary customise the meta fields in the calandar to match what is provided on the feed.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think this is possible?<\/p>\n<p>Also, my new site will have a set of different regional pages, each with events on them for that region. Rather than having a single calendar page with all events, is it possible to display seperate regional calendars that only displays events for that region? In other words is it possible to have multiple events calendar pages on a single site that are filtered by default to only display events in a certain area?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n<p>James<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1077041","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Generating Events from an RSS Feed -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/generating-events-from-an-rss-feed\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Generating Events from an RSS Feed -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, We are currently using the events calendar pro plugin on a site and it works really well.
