How can I import events and registrations directly to EE4?

Hi there,

I’m afraid that there is not an import feature for Event Espresso 4. This is something we’d like to add though.

Any walk-around or will I have to do this manually? 🙁

One possible work around would be to import the data into EE3, then after the data is imported and verified in EE3, then you run the migration to EE4.

EE3 has a simple built in Event importer that accepts data from a csv. There’s a template included so you’ll know how to format the data. There’s also an add-on that allows for importing attendees in a similar fashion.

download EE3 legacy
download the EE3 attendee import add-on

This method hasn’t been tested so it’s not proven whether it will actually work, however you could try this on a staging server.
