I have no personal experience with this option, but it sounds like a promising way to automate the importation and aggregation of events from a set of external calendars, but it is specific to websites using WordPress: From Google Gemini: AI Overview To aggregate events from calendars on multiple websites using The Events Calendar and Event Aggregator in WordPress, follow these steps: - Install The Events Calendar and Event Aggregator:
- Ensure both The Events Calendar plugin and the Event Aggregator add-on are installed and activated on the WordPress site where you want to display the aggregated calendar.
- If you purchased a premium license for Event Aggregator, input your license key under Events → Settings → Licenses to unlock all import sources and features.
- Access the Import Functionality:
- Navigate to Events → Import in your WordPress dashboard.
- Choose the Import Origin:
- From the "Import Origin" dropdown menu, select the source of the events you want to import. Options include:
- Other URL: For importing events from another WordPress site also using The Events Calendar (requires Event Aggregator on both sites for full functionality, or only on the importing site if the source site only has The Events Calendar).
- iCalendar/ICS File: For importing events from iCalendar feeds or ICS files provided by other calendars (e.g., public Google Calendars, Outlook Calendars).
- Google Calendar, Eventbrite, Meetup: Dedicated options for importing from these specific platforms.
- Configure Import Settings:
- Import Name: Optionally provide a name for your import.
- Import Type: Choose between a "One-time Import" or a "Scheduled Import." For ongoing aggregation, select "Scheduled Import" and set the desired frequency (e.g., daily, weekly).
- Source URL/Details: Provide the specific URL or details required by your chosen import origin (e.g., the "Other URL" of the source WordPress site, the iCal URL of a Google Calendar, the Meetup group URL).
- Refine Options (Optional): Use keywords or other filters to refine the events imported, if available for your chosen origin.
- Preview and Import:
- Click the "Preview" button to see the events that will be imported.
- Review the events and make any necessary adjustments to the settings.
- Click "Import All" (for one-time imports) or "Save Scheduled Import" to finalize the process.
- Manage Imported Events:
- Imported events will appear in your Events list in the WordPress dashboard. You can edit, publish, or delete them as needed.
- Scheduled imports will automatically pull in new events from the source at the defined frequency, keeping your aggregated calendar up-to-date.
