I am using the Event Calendar (basic) that is included with Enfold. Up until January 1, 2024 it was working perfectly. However, now when I import new events via CSV, all dates are set to January 1, 1970. I cannot find an Event Calendar forum to ask this question in, so any help would be appreciated. If you can point me to the proper forum, that would be very much appreciated too.
Hey GUMC-Rosier,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Can you reproduce the issue when using a different theme? Please clone the site to a staging environment, then provide the CSV file so that we can check the issue further.
Best regards,
IsmaelHi Ismael,
I have created a clone with UpdraftPlus and have included the information below.
Here are the steps I took in reproducing the problem:
Using Enfold/child theme
Saved from my calendar as an .xls file
Edited and converted to a .csv file containing 12 events from April 1 – 3, 2024
Only included fields event name, start date, end date, start time, end time, venue
Dates in csv show as m/d/yyyy (4/1/2024)
Uploaded, preview shows correct dates
All events uploaded with the start and end dated of January 1, 1970
Took 15+ minutesImported from CSV-file-for-example.csv
Include all fields
10 events, dates ranging from June 16 – September 1, 2022
Dates show as d-m-yyyy in csv
Dates show as yyyy-mm-dd in preview
Preview shows correct date
All events uploaded with start date of January 1, 1970, and correct end date (2022)
Took less than a minuteMoved all of the above events to trash
Switched to Enfold (not child theme)
Same results as aboveMoved all of the above events to trash
Switched to Twenty-Twentyfour theme
Same results as aboveI would say that something is wrong with the way I’ve formatted my csv file. But the file, downloaded directly from The Event Calendar website, does the same thing.
I even went so far as to download a fresh copy, did not open or edit it, and tried importing those events. And the same thing happened again.
I have the csv file from the last successful upload. I moved the 5 most recent events to trash. However, it showed 1 event in trash and 4 events in “ignored.” I permanently deleted those 5 events, and then tried importing from the last successful csv file. They imported instantly and correctly, BUT, it created two identical entries for each event.
Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated. Hopefully it’s some stupid little thing, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what.

Hi,
Thank you for the inquiry.
Importing the sample csv file (CSV-file-for-example) seems to be working as expected. It accurately saves the start and end dates as expected. However, importing the other file is taking quite a while.
We noticed that there are a lot of missing fields or columns in your own CSV file compared to the sample CSV file provided by the plugin. You may need to copy the exact format of the sample CSV file, including the order of the columns, to make sure that the importer can read the data properly.
Best regards,

RikardI usually import the calendar once a month. The real test will be to see if everything works when i update at the end of March.
