# Fields names?

 * I am trying to bulk import a list of events by using WP All Import Pro.
 * There were initial teethgin problems as both Simple Event Planner and WP All 
   Import utilise a function in JQuery UI which conflicts. So I have had to delete
   this file from the Simple Event Planner plugin in order for the import to work.
   However, WP All Import auto detect fields required. Is there a list of field 
   names available so that I can import the data?
 * Thanks in advance

 * I typed the post above in a hurry and missed a large amount of it out!
 * WP All Import auto detects fields required based on data already input manually.
   I have created a few of SEP events manually first and then attempted to import
   the rest. However, WP All Import does not detect all the fields required and 
   the ones it does, they don’t seem to import correctly. It does give me the option
   to manually add the fields, but you must know the fields names obviously.
 * Is it possible to see a list of the custom fields used in SEP please?

 * Hello [@lbtdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbtdev/),
 * Sorry for the inconvenience.
 * For importing events, you have to write the custom script as there is a different
   mechanism for saving the event details. We are saving the events custom meta 
   in the XML format that’s why you are facing the issue while importing the events.
 * Here are the fields that are saved in postmeta:
    – event_address – event_start_date_time–
   add_segment – event_meta(XML format)
 * As a glitch, you can also explore the **class-simple-event-planner-meta-box-event-
   options.php** placed in the plugins’ following directory.
    _simple-event-planner/
   includes/meta-boxes_
 * Thanks & Regards,

 * Excellent, thanks for the reply.
 * I am now getting a lot further with the import, however, all are importing with
   a start date of January 1, 1970, but the end date is correct? The format the 
   same: 02-06-2018
 * Example XML I’m importing
 *     ```
       <?xml version="1.0"?>
       <simple_event_planner><event_address>Dublin, Ireland</event_address><loc_lat>49.2827291
       </loc_lat><loc_long>-123.1207375</loc_long><loc_zoom>11</loc_zoom><loc_map></loc_map><start_date>02-06-2018</start_date><end_date>07-06-2018</end_date><event_time>checked</event_time><start_time></start_time><end_time></end_time><timezone_string>UTC+0</timezone_string><event_organiser></event_organiser><organiser_email>{email[1]}</organiser_email><organiser_contact>{phone[1]}</organiser_contact><add_seg>Array</add_seg><event_date>02-06-2018</event_date><event_org></event_org><event_email>{email[1]}</event_email><org_contact>{phone[1]}</org_contact><event_loc></event_loc><event_segment></event_segment></simple_event_planner>
       ```
   
 * Also importing: Title and Description, event_address = Dublin, Ireland, event_start_date_time
   = 02-06-2018

 * Thats odd. The start_date has imported correctly, however it is sowing as 1st
   January 1970 on the front end. If I go into the event in the admin and just click
   save, the correct date is then displayed.

 * Hello [@lbtdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lbtdev/),
 * For the event start date, it seems its date format issue that’s why it set the
   default date.
 * Good to hear that things are working well at your end.
 * Thanks & Regards,

 * I’m trying to use WP All Import as well. When I go to create a new import the
   fields don’t display, all of the sections are closed. What JQuery file needs 
   to be removed from SEP plugin to get the import to run?
 * Are there any plans to make SEP WP ALL Import compatible?
 * Thank you so much,
    Jodi

 * Hello [@jlsouthwick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlsouthwick/),
 * We didn’t test our plugin with the **WP All Import** plugin. Also, we are not
   sure about its compatibility with the SEP.
 * Maybe in near future, we’ll develop our own custom add-on for SEP event import
   and export and stick it on our [marketplace](https://market.presstigers.com).
 * Thanks & Regards,
