I’m using WP All import to translate a box office software xml feed (Patron Base) into events for a mixed arts venue.<br \/><br \/>
\nThe feed for each event has its individual dates in a child node of the event’s feed. I would like to be able to set up the import to use that data to create the recurring dates settings automatically. Unfortunately the recurring data will always vary.<br \/><br \/>
\nThe WP All Import plugin recognises that there is a custom field called ‘_EventRecurrence’, but I can’t work out what would need to be entered in the ‘value’ field to automatically generate the recurring data for each event.<br \/><br \/>
\nAny chance you would be able to help? <br \/><br \/>
\nBelow is a simplified part of the XML feed (not sure it will show up – can I email it instead?):<br \/><\/p>\n
