Frequently Asked Questions

Does this addon work without WP Event Aggregator?
No. WP Event Aggregator is required as the base plugin that handles the actual event importing.

Does this work with ACF Free?
Yes, it works with both ACF Free and ACF Pro. Some advanced field types (like relationship fields) require ACF Pro.

Can I use my own custom post type?
Yes — that’s the primary purpose of this addon. Any post type registered through ACF’s custom post type UI can be selected.

Does it support ACF relationship fields?
Yes. When you map a source field (e.g., Organizer Name) to an ACF relationship field, the plugin automatically finds or creates the related post and links it.
