Events to feed into blog / be recognized as posts

[tribalance]

Hi,
I am trying to get the events from my site to feed into the blog and recent news area of my site, but am not having any luck.

My theme (The 7 – http://themeforest.net/item/the7-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/5556590)doesn’t recognize the Events as categories in anything except their Post Carousel feature.

Is there a way to work around this? I would like all posts and events to be treated the same way.

Hello tribalance,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

As an initial step, have you tried the option within the plugin setting to include the events within your main blog loop https://cloudup.com/cwes5x9mBA1?

If that doesn’t work, it is most likely due to your theme using custom page templates to create the blog pages. If this is the case, you’ll need to do a little customization to your theme to include the events posts within the loop of your blog. To do this, find where the arguments for the custom query are being defined within the template and change the argument for the “post_type”. The updated argument for this should look like:

'post_type' => array( 'post', 'tribe_events' )

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Yes, I have tried the initial step of including the events within the main blog loop. So, it must be my theme settings…
I think I’ll post on their forum to find out where I can find the “post_type” code so that I am not hunting around 🙂
Thanks for your help and quick reply!

Hello tribalance,

Thanks for following up with us!

No problem! They should be able to get you sorted out with where to go specifically within your theme. The key thing to remember on our side is that the additional post type that you’ll want included within that loop is the “tribe_events” post type.

I’ll go ahead and close this ticket. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to open a new one.

Thanks!
