Import events via CSV without times

Is there a way to import events via a CSV file without start and end times? We have holidays that we would like to import and currently, we have to go back and manually remove the times on the event.

Thanks!

Hi Julie,

Not currently. Event Espresso actually requires a start and end time for each event. If you go in to the admin and create a new event there it will autofill a start/end time. It sounds like what you’re looking to do is make it so the event times don’t display for events like holidays. Is that correct?

Hi Josh,

That is correct. Is there a workaround to make that work?

Instead of removing the times for the Holiday events you can set the event to not be open for registration (that’s assuming that they are not actual events that offer registration) or use CSS for the holiday events to hide the event times. Each event has its own unique ID in the HTML that Event Espresso generates.

So for example, if the event that has an ID of 16 is an event that you do not want to display times for, you’d add this to your custom stylesheet:

#espresso-event-id-16 .event_time {
display:none;
}

If your WP theme does not have a custom stylesheet option you can use the Edit CSS option that’s included with the Jetpack plugin or the standalone my custom CSS plugin.
