    Hello!

    I’m looking for a more efficient way to manage event entries, as we add hundreds of events each month.

    1. Do you have any recommended workflows or tools for bulk event entry and bulk location entry, such as a CSV import or Google Calendar integration (that supports repeated events?)
    2. Could my developer use your API to populate events from a Google Sheet? If so, could you provide API documentation or guidance?

    I also noticed your recent Changelog mentions custom fields and event object enhancements. Are these fields accessible for custom development? If so, could you provide their names or documentation?

    For context, we use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) on our site. Is there any compatibility or guidance for using ACF with your plugin?

    Thank you for your assistance! Let me know if more information is needed.

    Hi,

    If your events come from Google Calendar you can import them via .ics from the Calendar Dashboard -> Events -> Import

    Or schedule wp cron job if you want to regularly import from your Google Calendar.

    I think importing via .ics is the easiest method.

    Here's a very basic video how you can insert custom fields to the event and display them on the front-end:

    In the video we are using Code Snippets plugin for registering the post meta but this plugin is not a requirement. You can place the register_post_meta code in your child-theme functions.php file for example.
