    Hi
    i run two websites.
    In both i want to have a calendar with exactly the same events and functions.
    Is it possible to synch them?

    Besides that:
    Are there styles or templates available to make the full-calendar look a bit more modern or do i need to style them on my own? (I am an actor and not so god in webstuff)
    I would also pay for them…

    Is there a way to migrate data from EventsCalendar into your Plugin?
    I already have around 400 dates/events on both of my websites and i dont want to loose them but transfering them manualy one by one seems quite a bit of work.
    Can it be done maybe by plugins like “Post type Switcher” or something like that?

    Thanks for helping
    marcus

    Hello,

    For styling of WP FullCalendar, You could check the styling under Dashboard > Settings > WP FullCalendar > jQuery CSS Theme?. There’s should be a dropdown there with all the styling available. (Here’s a screenshot: https://take.ms/eKkO9)

    As for migrating Events, Currently, We don’t have any importer for it. Other users have managed to import events by using 3rd Party plugins that let you import custom post types.

    Hello,

    If you’re using Multi-Site Installation, You may be able to sync them as it would pull on the same database. If it’s from separate WordPress Installation, You would need to do some custom coding to sync them.

    Hello,
    Its not Multi-Site

    You would need to do some custom coding to sync them.

    What kind of custom coding? Can you point me at least in the correct direction?

    Hello,

    By custom coding, I mean making your own custom codes to get it working. Depending on how the two websites are set-up. There’s a lot of possible approach possible.

    1. A quickest way is probably just use an html iframe and show the same calendar to the other site. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_iframe.asp

    2. You could try using the RSS feed of Events manager and use a parser to import or add the results as calendar to the other site. The default RSS link is: example.com//events/feed/

    3. You could use WordPress REST API to get the details and import them to the other Website. https://developer.www.ads-software.com/rest-api/ Events Manager is a Custom Post Type, So you might need to check the REST API options on custom post types

    You might need to hire a Developer in case you’re not familiar with any PHP coding or using WordPress filters. Currently We’re very limited in terms of custom coding.
