Creating new Event Tags through Code

I don’t see a function for adding tags.

Here’s some code to import events from a csv file (in the function importEventsCSV): https://github.com/webaware/events-manager-import-export/blob/master/includes/class.EM_ImpExpImport.php

The code is pretty old so it doesn’t have code to handle tags but it does handle categories. I think tags can be handled is a way similar to categories. Just use EM_Tag instead of EM_Category. When calling wp_insert_term use ‘event-tags’ instead of ‘event-categories’.

Also you wouldn’t call $eventcats = $event->get_categories();.

I see the following code in events-manager/classes/em-event.php:

                    //general taxonomies including event tags
                    $terms = get_the_terms( $this->post_id, $tax_data['name']);
                    $term_slugs = array();
                    if( is_array($terms) ){
                        foreach($terms as $term){
                            if( !empty($term->slug) ) $term_slugs[] = $term->slug; //save of category will soft-fail if slug is empty
                        }
                    }
                    foreach($post_ids as $post_id){
                        wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $term_slugs, $tax_data['name']);
                    }
