 * Hello,
    I downloaded the events import example csv file and tried to import it.
   When I imported, there was an error saying the following: ===================
   =========================== Import Events array(16) { [0]=> string(5) “title”[
   1]=> string(10) “start date” [2]=> string(8) “end date” [3]=> string(4) “time”[
   4]=> string(8) “location” [5]=> string(15) “details Cycling” [6]=> string(6) “
   1/1/15” [7]=> string(0) “” [8]=> string(8) “17:00:00” [9]=> string(7) “at home”[
   10]=> string(28) “This is a test entry. Hiking” [11]=> string(6) “2/2/20” [12]
   => string(10) “04.10.2020” [13]=> string(8) “10:00:00” [14]=> string(16) “in 
   the mountains” [15]=> string(28) “TestTest? 2nd test entry.” } array(6) { [0]
   => string(5) “title” [1]=> string(10) “start date” [2]=> string(8) “end date”[
   3]=> string(4) “time” [4]=> string(8) “location” [5]=> string(7) “details” } 
   Sorry, there has been an error.
 * There was an error when reading this CSV file.
    =============================
   =================
 * Please help.
    Thanks in advance

 * Ok, I’ll checked this.
    There is still a wrong date format included in the example
   file. Please try to change the end date of hiking to a valid date format e.g.
   insert 2020-02-04 instead of 04.10.2020. Then it should be working.
 * I will fix this in the next version and probably also improve the error message
   if a wrong date format is given.
