However, TEC Events on the whole use their own styling and not the themes because most themes are setup to show posts &#8211; naturally. Therefore, as I have a ton of dated posts already in my WP database, why can&#8217;t I point it to the posts instead of Events IF it exists? If it doesn&#8217;t exist then point to Events (where I can fill in basic details until I publish a matching POST!
