Hi there,<\/p>\n

I tried looking through your forum but couldn’t find what I was looking for so I thought I’d just create a post and ask. I’m in the middle of setting up our site with this plugin and I have a question about the csv file import.<\/p>\n

In the csv file, you have fields like:
\n\u2022 Event Venue Name
\n\u2022 Event Category<\/p>\n

For the Event Venue Name, am I able to enter a venue + address and it will work (i.e. The Hall, 123 Hall St Hallmark 2000)? Or do I have to import events first as a separate step so that when I enter the event venue name, it will pull the address for me?<\/p>\n

Also, for the category part, if I enter a category that doesn’t exist, will it create it for me? Or do I have to create the category first before I can put something in that field?<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
