She said she&#8217;d been getting an error (something like &#8220;Error importing event&#8221;).  So I tried it and, instead, I got an error that the event had already been imported.<\/p>\n<p>I found the event in question and viewed it in the edit view.  There is a message at the top of the page that says &#8220;You did not create any tickets for your event. You will not be able to publish this event on Eventbrite unless you first add a ticket at Eventbrite.com.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There already are tickets set up at EB, so I&#8217;m not sure if this is reading the settings incorrectly&#8230; or if it has something to do with how it is set up here. It is *published* already here.  What I ended up doing was deleting this event in WP and reimporting it.  This time the ticketing info came through.  Why do you think this happened?  Is there a way we can avoid this in the future?<br \/>\n#2 &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nI have noticed that when events are imported, the text that comes through carries with it additional formatting.  I realize what challenges this might face for you&#8230; But I&#8217;m wondering how to avoid it for the content manager.  Just selecting the text and using the eraser icon wasn&#8217;t enough; I had to look at the source code and delete divs.  I have requested that they make sure they aren&#8217;t pasting in from Word when they add content to EB&#8230; as maybe that could complicate the issue, too.  But I&#8217;m wondering if you have any other suggestions to help make life easier for the content person (who won&#8217;t know HTML)?<\/p>\n<p>#3 &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nOkay, I have one other thing to mention: I&#8217;m actually the developer and I have several clients who I&#8217;ve recommended to use Modern Tribe products.  Because of the on-going subscription costs, I usually have them sign up for it so that their billing info is in the account.  But this then makes it difficult for me to get support. I need to then get the login info from them (which is fine), but then the system doesn&#8217;t want me to have more than one instance of my email address&#8230; so if I try to change the profile email address to mine, it says that address already exists.  I get around this by using a fake email address with my domain (I have a catch-all address so I get anything that goes to @mydomain.com).  But I figured this might be worth just bringing to you.  It&#8217;s not a deal breaker or anything, just kind of annoying.  I wish there was a better way to say have them add tech support or other users on their account.  (WP Engine has something like this.)<\/p>\n<p>Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-146645","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>Oddity with EB Import \/ Formatting Question -<\/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\/oddity-with-eb-import-formatting-question\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Oddity with EB Import \/ Formatting Question -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello, I have two things to comment on here: #1 &#8212; Reporting a weird import situation (which is resolved, but we&#8217;re hoping it doesn&#8217;t happen again) #2 &#8212; Reporting formatting issues when importing #1 &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211; The content person has been having trouble importing an event from EB.
