The last three updates to this add-on still haven't fixed the issue with dates being imported incorrectly. The import requires the date format to be dd/mm/yyyy and thats how it shows in the admin area after the event is imported, but on the front end of the site the date is wrong. To correct this all dates need to be re-entered manually in the format of yyyy/mm/dd.

How is this still not fixed? Can you at least give me the code I need to modify to fix it myself? At this point I have to go through and enter all the dates manually, which for 100+ different events per month that's a lot of work.

Any updates on this?

If anyone else has found a fix for the CSV import that would be awesome.

Do you have any kind of timeframe for this fix?

Couper, sincerely apologize for the delay in fixing this issue. Just relased version 0.8 with fixed date issue. Let me know if you have any other questionsl

Have the most recent version of EO + CSV-Addon installed. Still does not work. The importer recognizes the dates correct after pressing the import button, but when you go to „All Events“ the events do not have any dates.

This is frustrating. I have spent the last 5 hours changing date formats on csv lists with no success :/

Awesome! Just tested this and it's working great. I hope you keep adding fields to this. With the new feature of having no end date I would suggest making the end date/time optional on the import.

Thanks
