I&#8217;ve already created a custom post type for &#8216;venue&#8217; (destinations) and have several custom post types for &#8216;organizers&#8217; (rec programs, partners, etc.).  My problem is how do I integrate my custom post types with this plugin.  Do I create additional locations (&#8216;venues&#8217;) and run the risk of duplicate slugs?  Do I use abbreviations for my venues and full names for my destinations (Mission Dolores Park for destination, MDP for venue), or do I use the plugins custom post type?  The last has several disadvantages:<\/p>\n<p>the term venue doesn&#8217;t work for our biz practice<br \/>\nthe location of venues is under events, not where my data entry people would expect<br \/>\nthe venue templates would have to be hacked up quite extensively to display all of the associated content<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, I&#8217;m using posts2post to connect my various posts together, which complicates things, to say the least.  For example, I&#8217;ve got a custom post type, employee, linked to destinations.  When viewing a destination, I can link to the &#8216;managers&#8217; for display.  This allows me to only store the employee once.<\/p>\n<p>There are many benefits to using The Event Calendar Pro, and rolling my own seems like a grim prospect.  That being said, I cannot figure out how to use the built in post types and my own.  Any help is greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n<p>Sean Stasio in SF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-11996","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Already have custom post types for location and groups -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/already-have-custom-post-types-for-location-and-groups\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Already have custom post types for location and groups -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I&#8217;ve got a problem and need some help implementing event calendar pro.
