I&#8217;m about to migrate my existing site to WP + The Events Calendar Pro and am really excited to have finally found a product that seems to just offer what I need from a calendaring service.<\/p>\n<p>While migrating my site, one big problem I have is the quality of the existing data. I&#8217;ve been adjusting some values and elements using CSV exports and a spreadsheet application already, so in general, things are in good health and can be readily imported into TEC.<\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;d need to do, however, is still displaying old venues and organizers together with the (old) events they&#8217;ve been used with, but NOT make these items available when you enter a new event, in particular to community users contributing events through the front-end. <\/p>\n<p>Is there a way to do this, so to <strong>still refer to particular venue data in old, still published events, but hide\/disallow picking that venue whenever you enter a new event<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, is there a difference between TEC and TEC Pro&#8217;s venues and organizers, other than the former not offering dedicated venue and organizer pages? I&#8217;m asking this because I&#8217;m worried that I&#8217;ll end up with two sets of venues when I start my migration with TEC, then move to TEC Pro.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for enlightening me and<br \/>\nCheers<br \/>\nAndreas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1546074","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>Show old venues, but make them unavailable for new events? -<\/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\/show-old-venues-but-make-them-unavailable-for-new-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Show old venues, but make them unavailable for new events? -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi all, great product!
