Events.csv Import Not Working

I have a simple events.csv file viewable here: http://www.abamedicine.com/events.csv with only one event.

When I import this file it says the import is successful, that the Event has been added, but it is nowhere to be seen.

I’m using EE 3.

So between no Duplicate Events option and without being able to import events, I guess I’ll have to manually add over 100 events?

This is extremely frustrating. Thank you for any help.

Hi there,

Looking at your CSV your date formats are incorrect.

If you go to Event Espresso -> Event Overview -> Import Events, just above where you download the template CSV you’ll see this:

Dates should be formatted YYYY-MM-DD (2009-07-04).

Your dates are 5/27/2016 so that is MM/DD/YYYY

Are you using MS Excel to create the CSV? If so you will find that Excel changes the formats of the dates you use when you save the file and it is not something you can disable. You will need to use another spreadsheet program sure as Open Office.
