For over a year we have been using WP All Import plugin to import events from a partner website’s feed but are now experiencing an issue with the venue field for some of the imported events. We have the “_EventVenueID” field for venue IDs mapped<\/a> from the partner site to corresponding venue IDs created in the Events Calendar. So imported venues with mapped IDs get set properly in the Events Calendar events.<\/p>\n

Sometimes there are new venues from the partner website that get imported as a “blank” setting for events because we don’t have a map for the new ID yet. Before we were able to edit the event’s venue and change it to the new venue created in the Events Calendar.<\/p>\n

The issue we are having now is the “blank” venue is not getting updated\/replaced with the new venue set. Instead the new venue set is added as a second venue below the blank one after updating the event. Please see the attached screenshot for what is happening. This causes the venue to not display on the frontend as the “blank” venue is used first.<\/p>\n

We tried changing the venue for a couple events that had the “blank” venue and they all add the new venue as a second field. We think this is an issue with the Events Calendar as the import is working the same way as before.<\/p>\n

Can anyone help us figure why this is happening?<\/p>\n

Running WordPress Version 4.9.2, the Events Calendar Version 4.6.9, Events Calendar Pro Version 4.4.21, and WP Import All Version 4.5.0. Unfortunately we are not able to run the usual troubleshoot procedure of deactivating all other plugins or switching to Twenty Seventeen theme as this is a live website that we cannot be down for troubleshooting.<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1432961","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nChanging imported "blank" venue adds second venue to event -<\/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\/changing-imported-blank-venue-adds-second-venue-to-event\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Changing imported "blank" venue adds second venue to event -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"For over a year we have been using WP All Import plugin to import events from a partner website’s feed but are now experiencing an issue with the venue field for some of the imported events.
