Events not showing after import with WP allimport

Hi @hpmunich, this is a known issue on our plugin. WP All Import does not work for The Events Calendar users that have upgraded to version 6.x AND migrated their event data.

We are in contact with the team behind WP All Import. A permanent fix will require a new add-on on their end. You are encouraged to let them know and reach out to them and that should help to make sure it is on their priority list.

For now, the only workaround is to use version 6.x but don’t migrate the event data for now. As always, to be safe, we’d recommend conducting tests and updates on a Staging Server.

Apologies for the inconvenience. Hang in there.

thanks for your answer.

but how can i avoid migrating??

is started from zero and then imported the event data from an external api

Hi @hpmunich

Thanks for your message.

To avoid migrating to the new Event Data System you’ll need to:

• Downgrade The Events Calendar to 5.16.4. You can download the old versions here.
• Disable the Auto Update feature for The Events Calendar

However, in doing so, you won’t have access to any of the new features, including improved performance. We’ll continue to support unmigrated sites for now, but many future features will also rely on your events being migrated to the new system.

If you already migrated to the new Event Data System, please follow these steps to revert the migration:

1. Install the free Code Snippets plugin.
2. In your dashboard, go to Snippets > Add New and copy the snippet below.
3. Select Only run once.
4. Save and Activate the snippet.

add_action( 'init', function () {
  // Will attempt to force a revert of tables and metadata
  tribe( \TEC\Events\Custom_Tables\V1\Migration\Process_Worker::class )->undo_event_migration( ['started_timestamp' => 1] );
} );

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have further questions or concerns.

Hi @hpmunich

I hope you are well. I wanted to follow up if you’re still encountering some issues with your imports.

Since you started from zero events, then you could try installing The Events Calendar v5.16.4, and import your events using WP all import.

Once the events are imported, you can now update The Events Calendar to the latest version and migrate to the New Event Data System.

As always, please test it first on the staging version of your live site before applying it to your live site.

Let me know how it goes.
