Hello @fff654 ,

Currently, we do not have a before-insert (pre-save) hook available to modify the content before it is stored in the database. We will surely like to add in upcoming version.

However, for now, you can use the available after-import hooks to update and clean the content once, immediately after the event is created or updated, which avoids any display-time performance overhead.

During the Eventbrite event import and update process, the plugin triggers the following actions. You can attach your cleanup logic to these hooks so the content is processed once at import/update time, not on every page load.

You can add this in the functions.php file of your child theme.

// Triggered after a new Eventbrite event is imported
add_action( 'iee_after_create_em_eventbrite__event', 'my_cleanup_eventbrite_content', 10, 2 );

// Triggered after an existing Eventbrite event is updated
add_action( 'iee_after_update_em_eventbrite__event', 'my_cleanup_eventbrite_content', 10, 2 );

function my_cleanup_eventbrite_content( $event_id, $centralize_array ) {
    // add your content cleanup/modification code here
}

There is no insert hook so you can modify https://github.com/xylusthemes/import-eventbrite-events/blob/master/includes/class-import-eventbrite-events-iee.php#L109 and add clearing logic here too.

Thanks

Hi Fabrice,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review — we genuinely appreciate the constructive feedback.

First, we sincerely apologize for the frustration you experienced with support. We understand how disappointing it must have been to feel unheard after multiple attempts. After reviewing our system, we found that our replies to your support tickets and email were being blocked on your email provider’s side, which is why you never received them. We’ll attach a screenshot to show that responses were indeed sent, but unfortunately marked as “Messages Blocked”.

We’re really sorry this technical issue led to a poor experience — communication failures like this are the last thing we want for our customers.

Regarding your technical question

You asked if there was a way to filter or clean Eventbrite content before it gets saved to the database. Since content is pulled directly from Eventbrite, it sometimes includes unwanted markup, buttons, inline CSS, or scripts.

To address this, we previously shared the following solution (which you did not receive due to the email issue):

You can modify or clean the imported Eventbrite content at display time using this filter:

You can add this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:

function my_modify_eventbrite_content( $content ) {

// apply only on Eventbrite imported events
if ( get_post_type() == 'eventbrite_events' ) {
    $prepend = '<h1>test content before</h1>';
    $content = $prepend . $content;
    return $content;
}

return $content;

}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'my_modify_eventbrite_content', 1 );

This allows you to remove scripts, unwanted blocks, or customize the content before it is displayed.

We are also reviewing your suggestion to add a pre-import hook so developers can clean content before saving to the database, which is a great idea and already forwarded to our development team for consideration in an upcoming update.

About the Easy Calendar / Filtering Features

We’re happy you liked the calendar feature — thank you for mentioning it!
As for category/tag filtering on the free “Easy Calendar” addon, we agree it would be a valuable addition. Your feedback has been logged for future improvements.

To conclude

Your detailed insights genuinely help us improve. The missing responses were due to an unforeseen email blocking issue, not a lack of effort from our support team. We hope you’ll reconsider your experience, knowing that we did attempt to reply and are committed to improving both the plugin and its workflow.

If you’d like, feel free to contact us again with an alternative email, and we will assist you immediately.

Thank you once again for your candid review and constructive feedback.

Hello @mdrome ,

The Scheduled Imports feature is a customizable action that automatically runs at the time intervals you define, such as Hourly, twice daily, Daily, Weekly, or once a month.

If you’ve scheduled an import from a specific source (e.g., an Eventbrite organizer ID), the system will automatically run in the background at the scheduled time. It will then fetch and import any new events or update existing ones from the source. Here is given detailed video documentation about how to set the schedule import and how it works.

If you have any questions or need help with configuring or managing scheduled imports, feel free to reach out.

Hello @mojowiredesign,
