We could not change the memory limit, but your answer gave us another idea: could we have a server timeout?

So I split the csv in 2 parts of about 3500 participants each and uploaded one after the other. That worked.

Thanks!

Ups, I produced a typo in my post above and your csv reminded me:

This is wrong:
“but just use “start” and “end” as column headings for the start and end dates of the event.”

Instead of “start” and “end” it is “dtstart” and “dtend”

Sorry for that (I’m tired)

I can confirm that the column locations are not relevant.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

It works. What a relieve….

For everybody else who needs to import from csv with this importer here’s one hint:
In the headline of your csv don’t use the words “event_start_date” and “event_end_date” (as a look into the database would suggest), but just use “start” and “end” as column headings for the start and end dates of the event.

Also use “summary” for the event’s title.

For the location it is different: here you use the same names as in the database (I am using a plugin called “Database Peek” to look them up).
For example a column in your csv called “location_town” will map correctly to the location_town in the database.)

Hi Phil,

this importer was mentioned by Marcus:

He did not say if he tested it, though.
