Brian, this seems like an unacceptable answer to paying customers, especially since it sounds like the Events Calendar is not using WordPress coding best practices for plugin compatibility by bypassing the standard WordPress API and Loops. We have also been struggling with this problem for a while and desperately need a solution.
I would like to know if Modern Tribe would at least be willing to work together with OnTheGo Systems to solve this problem. OnTheGo Systems stated in Douglas’ forum post that they would be willing to do so.
