Hi Geoff, that’s pretty much what I’m doing already. When WordPress finds a tribe_event with a matching post_tag it decides to ignore the post_type argument – this is not an issue with any other custom post_type.
Ach! Yes I worked that out in the time it took you to reply. My REAL issue is the one I’ve just explained above. Sorry for cross posting but I thought I’d better get Events Calendar Pro correctly installed before I explained my real problem.
