This article covers the step-by-step process of importing from another site using a feed or URL. Separate tutorials explain the process for importing from a <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/k\/importing-data-from-a-csv-file\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CSV file<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/k\/importing-events-from-an-ics-file-with-event-aggregator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICS file<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can import from one of these sources, you&#8217;ll first need to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/product\/event-aggregator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">valid license for Even<\/a>t Aggregator, which you can check in The Events Calendar settings in WordPress under <strong>Events \u2192 Settings \u2192 Licenses<\/strong>. If you have a valid license, you can head to the <strong>Events \u2192 Import<\/strong> screen and see additional calendar sources available in the Import Origin options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"select-source\">Select&nbsp;the import source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the\u00a0Import Origin\u00a0field and select the Meetup source from the dropdown menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-20-at-6.51.23-AM.png\" alt=\"Select the Meetup source from the dropdown to import events from Meetup\" class=\"wp-image-1952531\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-connecting-to-meetup\">Connecting to Meetup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first time you import from Meetup, you&#8217;ll be prompted to enter information that allows Event Aggregator to &#8220;talk&#8221; to Meetup and accurately gather event data. For this option to work, you will need to connect Event Aggregator to Meetup by going to <strong>Events \u2192 Settings \u2192 Integrations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Meetup-EA-screenshot.png\" alt=\"Connect to Meetup under Events Settings &gt; Integrations\" class=\"wp-image-1950691\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"select-type\">Select the import&nbsp;type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kb-ea-import-step3.png\" alt=\"Select the import type\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Will this be a one-time, manual import of events or a repeating&nbsp;import that runs on a schedule? This step allows you to choose the type of import you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you select Scheduled Import, you will need\u00a0to specify how frequently\u00a0(daily, hourly, etc.) Event Aggregator looks for new or updated events and runs an automatic import. The first import will run immediately and then on its set schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"provide-url\">Provide the import URL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2020\/03\/meetup.jpg\" alt=\"Provide the import URL to import events from Meetup\" class=\"wp-image-1946744\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Name your import (optional): You can give your import a custom name. If you don&#8217;t, the name will default to the feed&#8217;s name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provide the URL of the source that your events are being imported from. For example, if you have selected Meetup as the import source, then you will provide the URL of the Meetup group where the events being imported are located\u00a0<em>or\u00a0<\/em>the URL of a specific event. If you are not sure what URL to use, click the icon to read\u00a0detailed instructions for the source you&#8217;re using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preview\">Preview the import<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Click the &#8220;Preview&#8221; button, and Event Aggregator will produce a list of events available to import from the source you provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kb-ea-import-step5.png\" alt=\"kb-ea-import-step5\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This preview shows you all the events available to you in the feed. It allows you to search for specific events, select only the events you want to import, or simply check the content before everything is imported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this step, you can also set the WordPress status of the events when they are imported:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Published:<\/strong> The content will be published to your site right away.<\/li><li><strong>Draft:<\/strong> The content will not be published but will be available for editing after the import.<\/li><li><strong>Pending Review:\u00a0<\/strong>The content will not be published or a draft but labeled as being ready for a WordPress editor or administrator to review before it is published.<\/li><li>Private:\u00a0The content is published to your site right away but only accessible to those logged into the site and with permissions to view the content.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The status you choose will apply to the event and any new organizer or venue created by the import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also assign an Event Category for the imported events. This category will be added in addition to any categories defined by the feed itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"run-import\">Run the import<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-20-at-7.10.46-AM.png\" alt=\"Select the Import All button to import your events from Meetup\" class=\"wp-image-1952532\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve had a chance to preview your content and select what you would like to import, go ahead and click the Import All\/Save Scheduled Import button below the preview panel (the text of the button is different for\u00a0one-time imports and\u00a0scheduled import).
