This plug-in allows to import events from a CSV file into Event Organiser. You can also export events from 
Event Organiser into a CSV file.
Please note that this plug-in still in beta. I welcome feedback, issues and pull-requests.
<h4>Aim</h4>
To allow users to export / import events in CSV format between various calendar applications, and to do this flexiably 
so as to limit the number of requirements on the CSV file before it can be read correctly. To allow users to move events 
between installations of Event Organiser while preserving data that is not suported by iCal.
In the vein of flexibility columns do not have to be in any prescribed order: you tell the plug-in which columns pertain to what (start date, end date etc) 
after importing the file.
<h4>How to use this plug-in</h4>
Once installed, go to Tools > Import Events. Here you can export a CSV file or select a file to import one. To import an file:
<ul>
<li>Select browse and select the file, click “Upload file and import”</li>
<li>All being well you should now see a preview of the CSV file, along with a drop-down option at the base of each column. If the preview looks wrong, try 
selecting a different delimiter type (comma, tab, space) at the top.</li>
<li>If the first row of the CSV file is a header, select the option indicating this. The first row will then be ignored.</li>
<li>At the bottom of each column select what the column represents. The options are (not all are required):
<ul>
<li>Title</li>
<li>Start (formatted in Y-m-d format, and also indicating time only if the event is not all-day) </li>
<li>End (formatted as above)</li>
<li>Recur until (if the event recurs, the date of its last occurrence)</li>
<li>Recurrence Schedule (if the event recurs, how it repeats: once|daily|weekly|monthly|yearly|custom).</li>
<li>Recurrence Frequency (if the event recurs, an integer indicating with what frequency)</li>
<li>Schedule Meta (See documentation for <a href="http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_insert_event.html" rel="nofollow ugc">eo_insert_post()</a>, e.g. “MO,TU,THR” (weekly), “BYDAY=2MO” or “BYMONTHDAY=16” (monthly)</li>
<li>Content (HTML post content)</li>
<li>Venue (Venue slug)</li>
<li>Categories (comma seperated list of category slugs) </li>
<li>Tags (comma seperated list of tag slugs)</li>
<li>[Any custom event taxonomies registered] (comma seperated list of slugs)</li>
<li>Include dates (comma seperated list of Y-m-d dates to include from the event’s schedule)</li>
<li>Exclude dates (as above, but added to the event’s schedule)</li>
<li>Post Meta (an option will appear to provide the meta-key)</li>
<li>Click import.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Importing new venues, categories and tags</h4>
By default the plug-in will only import venues, categories and tags that already exist. 
To allow the plug-in to create new venues, categories and tags you can add the following 
code (to a seperate plug-in or your theme’s <code>functions.php</code>).
<pre><code> function my_set_import_imports( $args, $file ){
 $args['import_new_event-category'] = true; //create category if it doesn't exist
 $args['import_new_event-venue'] = true; //create venue if it doesn't exist.
 $args['import_new_event-tag'] = true; //create tag if it doesn't exist. 

 return $args;
 }
 add_filter( 'eventorganiser_csv_import_args', 'my_set_import_imports', 10, 2 );
</code></pre>
Please note the limitations on importing venues discussed below.
<h4>Limitations</h4>
Current limitations apply. See the examples folder for an archetypal CSV file
<ul>
<li>All dates are read using PHP’s DateTime. While various formats are supported, Y-m-d (e.g. 2013-12-31) formats are strongly recommended</li>
<li>Starts dates must be provided in Y-m-d (e.g. 2013-12-31) for all day events and also include a time-component (e.g. 2013-12-31 11:30pm) for non-all-day events. There is no 
prescribed format for the time but 24-hour time is recommended. You do not need to specify seconds.</li>
<li>Include/exclude dates should be given as comma-seperated list of dates in Y-m-d format.</li>
<li>Categories and tags must be given as comma-seperated list of names</li>
<li>It does not support venue meta-data (yet)</li>
</ul>
Please note that in theory all dates (other than the start date) can be given in any format, however, to 
ensure dates are interpreted correctly it is strongly recommended to give dates in Y-m-d (or Y-m-d H:i for non-all day events) format. The start 
date must be in that format so that the importer can differentriate between all-day and non-all-day events.
<h4>Future Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>An “import preview” or “dry-run” so users can view how events will be imported.</li>
<li>Support venue meta data</li>
<li>Support category colours</li>
<li>Add filters for developers</li>
<li>Add support for UID to prevent importing an event twice (perhaps, update the event?)</li>
<li>Add support ‘maps’ for importing from other applications (where format of exported CSV file is prescribed).</li>
<li>Support generic date formatting (try to ‘guess’ / ask for format )</li>
</ul>

<h3>How Does WordPress User Import Export Plugin Work?</h3>
This WordPress user import export plugin uses CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files as input. You must create a import user CSV file and enter the user details in a structured format. (refer to this <a href="https://www.webtoffee.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Users_SampleCSV.csv" rel="nofollow ugc"> sample CSV)</a> This is to match each field of the user CSV import file to the appropriate user fields in WordPress.
For example, the user_email field gets mapped to the User Email. Otherwise, the admin needs to manually map the user CSV import fields.
📌 Note – For the WordPress user import and export plugin to work correctly, you must map the headers of all the columns correctly and ensure that all of the fields you enter are in the correct format.
You can create the import user CSV from scratch or export the user CSV using the same plugin. Use any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, or Google Spreadsheets, to create and edit your CSV file. <a href="https://www.webtoffee.com/how-to-save-csv-excel-file-as-utf-8-encoded/" rel="nofollow ugc"> Save this file in UTF-8 encoding with extension .csv. </a>
After entering all details about users in a spreadsheet, you can bulk import users to WordPress. With this user export plugin, you can also export and download user details as a CSV file.
