Two issues:
first, we exported our events, and somehow our “Open Events” disappeared. How can we get the events and the registrants back.

second, the export file that we exported does not match the “Events template” header row. Our row when exported has the following fields “Event Id Name Venue Start Date Start Time DoW Reg Begins Status Attendees”.

The row from the events template has “0 event_name event_desc address address2 city state country zip phone display_desc event_identifier start_date end_date start_time end_time reg_limit event_cost allow_multiple additional_limit send_mail is_active conf_mail registration_start registration_end categories”

I tried to import ours, but it shoes dates of “December of 1970”, event after formatting the dates in the yyyy-mm-dd format.

Please advice on both issues.

Thanks so much,
Ron

Hi,

The “export” in Event Espresso 3 is intended to be used as a reporting tool. For example the file can be opened in a spreadsheet. It’s not intended to be used with the import tool.

If you want to copy Event Espresso 3 data from one site to another site, you could take a backup of the database and import the tables prefixed with wp_events_ .
