I 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.

Hi 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+ minutes

Imported 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 minute

Moved all of the above events to trash
Switched to Enfold (not child theme)
Same results as above

Moved all of the above events to trash
Switched to Twenty-Twentyfour theme
Same results as above

I 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.
