Advanced Importer – Modern Events Calendar Addon
Bring all your events under one roof with Advanced Importer – Modern Events Calendar Addon. Built for MEC (Modern Events Calendar), this premium importer lets you pull events from major platforms, files, and even other MEC-powered sites—so your WordPress calendar stays accurate, organized, and up to date without manual copy-paste.
What Advanced Importer does
- Connects to Facebook, Google Calendar, Meetup, and Eventbrite to fetch events after a quick authentication
- Supports ICS/CSV via file upload or ICS URL for feed-based imports
- Imports from another MEC site using the MEC API (site-to-site migration)
- Migrates from select third-party WordPress event plugins (e.g., Event Organiser, My Calendar, Eventum)
Key features of Advanced Importer – Modern Events Calendar Addon
Multiple sources & accounts
- Add multiple accounts per platform (e.g., several Google calendars or Facebook connections)
- Choose specific calendars, pages, or IDs to target the exact events you want
Import control & targeting
- Set start/end dates and status filters to limit what gets imported

File & feed options
- Import ICS/CSV files directly from your computer
- Use an ICS URL for ongoing syncs (feed-based scheduling and syncing apply to ICS URLs)
Logs & history for peace of mind
