Creating an event from WooCommerce

I don’t know how to do it. But, if you purchase the Pro version it comes with some add-ons that create events (e.g., https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/importing-exporting/import-setup/). Looking at the code for the add-ons may help you to do this.

Thanks @joneiseman, I’ll keep that in mind. For now I’ll dig into the original plugin code and see what I can find. I also added a MySQL logger, I got some insights from the DB operations, but it’s not all clear to me yet.

You’re probably better off not directly adding things to the database since the database schema can change. Instead use the existing class methods to create events and save them to the database. I found an old version of the import code here: https://github.com/webaware/events-manager-import-export

Here’s the file that creates events: https://github.com/webaware/events-manager-import-export/blob/master/includes/class.EM_ImpExpImport.php

Take a look at the function importEventsCSV and you will see how it creates an event and then calls event->save() and event->save_meta() to save the event to the database.

@joneiseman, you’ve been very helpful. I’ll continue per your suggestions. Thanks!
