Cannot Import Events

I am trying to import events from an old WordPress Installation to a new one. Currently, everything on my site is screwed up because I can’t import anything. I keep getting this error where it says I successfully uploaded my .csv file, but the fine was not found.

“File uploaded successfully. – passion-flower-.csv

File not found. Make sure you specified the correct path.”

Why is this happening? I need to import events from the old to the new!

Wordpress version: 4.1
EE version: 3.1.36.6.P with Calendar, Mailchimp, Members and Social Media addons
NEW INSTALLATION ON NEW SERVER
http://paintthenightaway.net/classes/registration/
It’s blank because I can’t import events!

Hi Erin,

The issue you’re seeing may be because the export format doesn’t match the import format. The export/import functions were not designed for copying events from one site to another.

The recommended way to copy event information from one site to another site is to use either a plugin like WP Migrate DB and migrate the entire database -or- if you know how to use phpMyadmin, you can also export the tables that have _events_ in their name, then import those tables onto the new site.

Thanks, my developer used phpMyadmin and it worked great.
