Using "post categories" for Calendar

[yhavusha]

Hi there,
Thank you for a great product!
I have a few questions:
1. I’m using “BetterMag” theme. Title of the pages (main calendar, category and event pages) doesn’t show on the theme location.
2. Is there a way to use the build in post categories on wordpress insted of the calendar event categories?

Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi there, Yossi! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. We’re stoked you’re enjoying the plugin so far. 🙂

Great questions. Let’s see if we can tackle them one at a time.

1. I’m using “BetterMag” theme. Title of the pages (main calendar, category and event pages) doesn’t show on the theme location.

Are you using the Default Events Template? You can check this by heading into Events > Settings > Display. Go ahead and select it if it isn’t already and save the changes to see if that makes a difference.

The standard events template is its own template, but some themes will override it, which causes some conflicts. In those cases, it’s often best to try to contact the theme author to see if why the theme is doing that.

2. Is there a way to use the build in post categories on wordpress insted of the calendar event categories?

Good question, but unfortunately, this one is outside of our control. The events themselves are just custom post types, and the event categories are a custom taxonomy we created to support them. Perhaps tags would work instead? Unlike categories, these rely on the default WordPress structure for tagging posts.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know and thanks again for your support. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
