How to import posts as events?

maybe this can help or give you an idea – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-importing-events?replies=16

Are you trying to make posts events (i.e. import), or just display them both in the same list?

If the latter, then you may want to look at making custom WP_Query calls https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Query

our plugin wouldn’t look up normal WP posts using our shortcodes etc.

I’m trying to import all the posts in a particular category, not mix events and posts in the same list. At this moment I’m importing them manually one by one but there are 100+ posts so some kind of automation will certainly be welcome.

Thanks,

You’d need to create a script that grabs your posts, and with that information create EM_Event objects that can be saved.
