Hi Derek,
Thanks for reaching out and we’d be happy to help you out! But first, will you please log into your account? We use the Pre-Sales forum for questions about purchasing our plugins those who have already purchased the plugin can log in and gain access to our technical support forums.
If you have not purchased a product license, no worries! We’d still be happy to help you out in the free WordPress.org forum, which we check weekly.
In the meantime, please note that there is no need to create an events page with The Events Calendar–the plugin sets one up for you. 🙂 Please delete the page you created and make sure the calendar’s slug is something different than any other page on the site.
Once the the calendar is up and running, you can take that URL and add it as a custom link in Appearance > Menus.
Cheers!
Geoff
