The MEC Advanced Importer Addon is an official extension of Modern Events Calendar (MEC), developed by Webnus, that expands the event import capabilities of the main plugin. It is designed for event organizers, agencies, schools, and WordPress site administrators who need to consolidate events from multiple external sources into a single centralized calendar.
This addon allows you to connect your WordPress site with popular platforms such as Facebook, Google Calendar, Meetup, and Eventbrite, as well as import events from CSV and ICS (iCal) files via URL or direct upload. The setup is simple: just authenticate the accounts for each platform with a few clicks and define the import parameters.
Its most notable features include connecting multiple accounts per platform, scheduling automatic and recurring imports, filtering events by status (public or private), assigning specific categories to imported events, and defining a date range to limit which events are incorporated. It also allows transferring events between different WordPress sites that have MEC installed, which is especially useful for multi-site projects.
The addon offers an import history panel where you can review all operations performed, as well as detailed process logs showing the status of each imported event. Additionally, it includes support for four additional third-party plugins, further expanding the available integration options.
With the Advanced Importer, organizers can automate the synchronization of their calendars, eliminate manual data entry, and keep information always up to date. It is the ideal solution for those who manage large volumes of events and need a reliable, flexible tool that saves time in the daily management of their calendar.
