Overview
Event organizers often manage listings across multiple platforms and websites. This plugin brings those events into a Modern Events Calendar calendar, with sources including Google Calendar, Facebook, Meetup, Eventbrite, ICS and CSV files, and other MEC sites. Multiple accounts can be connected for each supported platform, making it possible to gather listings from more than one account.
Choose events by status and date range, preview available listings with their start and end times, and assign imported events to MEC categories. Imports can run on a schedule, while import history and process logs help you review past activity and monitor each import. The plugin also supports transferring events between WordPress sites that have MEC installed.
Features
- Connect multiple accounts: Connect and manage multiple accounts for each supported platform to collect events from different sources in one MEC calendar.
- Filter events before import: Set event status and start or end dates as criteria, so you can choose which available listings to bring into your calendar.
- Transfer events between sites: Import events from another WordPress site with MEC installed, supporting event management across multiple websites.
- Schedule event imports: Set imports to run on a planned schedule, reducing the need to start each import manually.
- Map events to categories: Assign imported events to specific categories in MEC to keep calendar listings organized.
- Import from files or URLs: Bring in event data from ICS or CSV files using an external URL or a local file.
- Review import activity: Check a centralized history of past imports and view detailed logs during processing to follow progress.
Best for
- Modern Events Calendar site owners
