Hi Julie
Sorry if it wasn’t clear. Yes I checked the box that includes events in the mail blog loop. HoweverI can only choose one default post category in the main WP settings and none of these categories show up in the Events category options. So there seems to be a wall between the two sets of categories.
When I tried to set up the the same category as the blog in the events categories, it comes up as a second version.
Look forward to hearing from you.
