Events Calendar isn’t working properly with the importing of venues. Rodrigo seems to have had the same problem (https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/after-import-with-maps-api-key-use-latitude-longitude-not-checked\/) but there’s no solution in the thread. <\/p>\n
My Primary Issue: <\/p>\n
After I import my CSV file of venues the checkbox next to “Use Latitude + Longitude” isn’t selected. I have to go through manually, click the checkbox next to “Use Latitude + Longitude”, and then click update before they will take effect (the checkbox will be selected with the latitude\/longitude filled in). <\/p>\n
The issue isn’t with my CSV file because I’ve followed these guidelines to a t: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/csv-files-options-and-examples\/<\/p>\n
So far I’ve gone through manually after the upload, selected the checkbox and updated each venue individually. This can’t possibly be how it’s supposed to work is it?<\/p>\n
My Second Issue: <\/p>\n
It appears I’m unable to use & in any of my Venue\/Event Titles or Descriptions. When I do they’re shown as the HTML markup, &. As a workaround I tried using & rather than a plain ampersand, in hopes I was inputting HTML and would get just the ampersand on the front end but that didn’t work either. Any ideas on this?<\/p>\n
My Third Issue:<\/p>\n
I’ve incorporated the Zip (Postal) Code for my venues on some of my initial imports, but they break the import preview and don’t allow me to see or specify any of my fields. Essentially, wherever the Zip\/Postal Code is within my CSV, every column after doesn’t appear on the import.<\/p>\n
My Fourth Issue:<\/p>\n
When importing “one-time” events via CSV, strictly adhering to the “CSV File Examples For Importing” page I referenced in my first issue, the END DATE on the INDIVIDUAL event page in WordPress’s back end shows up as the day previous. To be clear I’m seeing the proper start date and end date on the page with all events, I’m only seeing the previous date on the individual event page. I’ve tried this on multiple occasions, verified I had the same date listed for start date and end date ( ex. 2017-08-02, 2017-08-02 ), and it still shows the day previous for the event end date on the individual event page. <\/p>\n
That brings up an additional thought that would be extremely, extremely helpful to I’m sure a large portion of your users. Are we going to be able to import recurring events soon? If not, at the very least could I get an example of how you structure your arrays for recurring events so I could parse them directly to my database instead of using import? <\/p>\n
