Title: Easy Export / Import Last modified: February 16, 2019 --- # Easy Export / Import * Resolved [pasamike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pasamike/) * (@pasamike) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/) * Is there an easy export / import option hiding some where? I have been working on a staging site that I need to take live. In the meantime events have been added and modified. Thanks!

Tables are linked together: wp_posts, wp_postmeta, wp_em_events, wp_em_bookings, wp_em_locations, etc. * Thread Starter [pasamike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pasamike/) * (@pasamike) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11215294) * Wow. Thats a real problem moving forward. I didn’t realize I couldn’t make use of my staging site for multiple changes anymore as using the posts table will override the newer content on pages. Yuck! * Thanks * [Stonehenge Creations](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duisterdenhaag/) * (@duisterdenhaag) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11215361) * You could first try using the native WordPress Importer/Exporter (Dashboard > Tools), but you cannot be selective to only events and locations, for example. * If you’re not afraid of SQL and do not care about the post ID, you can also export all wp_em_ tables and wp_posts and wp_postmeta as SQL format from your test server. On your new server: delete those (empty?) tables and import the old ones. * I did that myself last week when I had to suddenly move from provider. Worked great, but it takes the post ID and metas from the original server. It really clones it. - This reply was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by [Stonehenge Creations](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duisterdenhaag/). * Thread Starter [pasamike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pasamike/) * (@pasamike) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11215409) * I tried export / import in PHPmyAdmin, cloned all _em_ tables listed and imported successfully. But when I open plugin it does not show any event data, like it has to be relinked to the tables? I made sure the tables are named the same in terms of prefix and still nothing. Is there just another step I don’t know about? * [Stonehenge Creations](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duisterdenhaag/) * (@duisterdenhaag) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11215413) * You need to clone wp_posts and wp_postmeta as well, because that is where WordPress actually looks for the info in the Dashboard. It there is nothing in those tables, WP will show nothing. * Thread Starter [pasamike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pasamike/) * (@pasamike) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11215517) * Can I “insert new only?” or do i have to manually merge the table and then import all? I dont mess with sql enough, and Im trying to avoid erasing the posts I do want to keep. * [Stonehenge Creations](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duisterdenhaag/) * (@duisterdenhaag) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11215940) * o, I tried that.. DOesn’t work. It’ll give lots of errors. * Thread Starter [pasamike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pasamike/) * (@pasamike) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11223517) * Okay [@duisterdenhaag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duisterdenhaag/) where is the face palm GIF?? I just realized this problem is showing on all events after Daylight Savings (March 10th). It does show correct on the site if i go to the event page, but do you know of a way to have the ical feed show the actual start time as opposed to an adjusted time for the events on ical feeds and such? * Thanks so much for all your help! Youre awesome. * Plugin Support [angelo_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelo_nwl/) * (@angelo_nwl) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11279183) * another way maybe is looking for ical template at events-manager/templates/templates/ ical.php Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Easy Export / Import’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/events-manager/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3550347) * [Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/reviews/) ## Tags * [events](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/events/) * [export](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/export/) * [Import](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/import/) * 10 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [angelo_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelo_nwl/) * Last activity: [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-export-import/#post-11279183) * Status: resolved
