Moving off Modern Events Calendar: what's in your database and what breaks

Modern Events Calendar Lite was permanently closed on wordpress.org on May 11, 2022, due to guideline violations, though many sites still use developer updates. Users migrating data must understand its storage format to avoid incorrect dates. Similarly, WP Event Manager, used on 20,000 sites, stores events as event_listing posts. For accurate migration, users should utilize _event_start_date and _event_end_date fields, which combine date and time in local time, rather than separate time fields.
