How to export WordPress native events

  • I have over 100 events in plain, vanilla, native WordPress events. I’m not talking about Events Calendar events, Events Manager events, or anything else. Just plain WordPress default events – they appear when I click on the Events menu item in WP Admin with the thumb tack next to it.

    How do I export those events so I can import them into a different event system – in my case, we will be using Events Calendar as our event manager, so that’s where my 100+ events have to end up.

    What’s the expeditious way to do it without buying more software? Thank you.

  • Hi!

    As far as I know, WordPress does not handle a kind of post called Event. I guess probably your theme or plugin is defining them as a custom post type.

    Can you confirm this by disabling all your plugins or changing to a default theme?

    Then, with more information, we can help more.

    Yes, I believe you are correct; thank you for your correction.

    If we assume they are posts with a post_type of “event”, how do I export them so I can import them into Events Calendar?

    I haven’t disabled plugins or changed themes because neither will change the state of the event-type posts in the database.
