<p>Automatically import events from Meetup.com into The Events Calendar.</p>
<p>To get started, make sure that you have The Events Calendar plugin (by Modern Tribe) installed. This plugin will not do anything without it!</p>
<p>This plugin relies on WP Cron to run the import on a schedule, so it will not work if you have disabled WP Cron (sometimes this is done in wp-config.php).</p>
<p>After you have both plugins installed, you need to configure a couple of settings. First navigate to Events -> Import in your Dashboard. From there you can input your <a href="https://secure.meetup.com/meetup_api/key/" rel="nofollow ugc">Meetup.com API Key</a> and choose the post status that should be used for imports.</p>
<p>Next, click on the “Meetup.com” tab. From there you can fill in the URL for a Meetup group, select the Event Categories you want it to be mapped to, and hit “Add Recurring Import”. This will schedule a script to run twice a day to import the upcoming events from that group into The Events Calendar. You can add as many groups as you’d like.</p>
<p><em>This is an early release of this plugin, so it’s a little barebones. Help make it better by contributing yourself – see below!</em></p>
<h4>Contributing</h4>
<p>You can contribute to development of the plugin on <a href="https://github.com/dabernathy89/meetup-importer-for-the-events-calendar/" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>. Please don’t use the repo for technical support. Pull requests will be welcomed for bug fixes and other improvements. Let me know before you start developing a new feature so that we can discuss it.</p>
<p>This plugin is built using the <code>generator-plugin-wp</code> Yo generator built by WebDevStudios.</p>
