Events do not appear "with the site's other posts."

[Brian]

Hi,

I am running Events Calendar Pro on a WordPress site using the Newspaper theme. The site is nearly ready for launch at nevadagreentimescom, and I’ve been able to solve all calendar problems in the knowledge base and forums except 2:

I would like to feature select events alongside posts in a grid filtered by category. I have checked the box to show events with the site’s other posts, but the events do not appear as a distinct category or among the posts, so I’m curious to know where the events appear “with” the posts? I tried using tags to no avail.

The second issue is that I do not want wigetized sidebar to appear on the calendar welcome page but cannot discover how to remove it … I fear the solution is simple but I cannot seem to solve it in the wiki.

thank you,
Brian Bahouth

Hi, Brian.

In our forums we keep our threads focused on just one issue at a time to ensure we fully answer each of your questions/issues. Please keep this in mind for the future and start a new thread for your additional questions from this thread. Thanks for your understanding.

1)

By default, our events be assigned to Post Tags (shared between Posts and Events post types) or to Event Categories (not shared with Posts post type).

If you check the box at wp-admin > Events > General tab > “Include events in main blog loop” option, then your events should display in your blog loop, just like the option describes.

If that doesn’t work as it should, please switch to Twenty Seventeen theme and see if it then does work as described.

Anything beyond this level of integration with Posts or Tags would be in the realm of custom development (such as displaying events in a grid view), which we do not support, per our Scope of Support / Terms.

If there’s a code snippet you’d like me to put some eyes on or something else I can help you with, please update this ticket or create a new ticket if it’s a separate issue.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

2)

You might try playing with this setting: wp-admin > Events > Settings > Display tab > “Events template” option — to see if changing it makes things work better for you.

If that doesn’t work, I’d suggest asking your theme author how-to for the tribe_events custom post type archive view.

If you need additional assistance from us on this second question, please start a new, separate thread with your full question. Thanks!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
The Events Calendar Support Team
