Maybe this is something worth looking into.<\/p>\n<p>Any advice to get this solved would be very much appreciated. Alternatively, a trick to get rid off the duplicates via phpmyadmin\/mysql would be very helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1106708","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>Duplicate entries in calendar after import -<\/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\/duplicate-entries-in-calendar-after-import\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Duplicate entries in calendar after import -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I needed to import all my venues and events to a new WP website.
