Hi guys. I’m interested in adding Events Calendar to our site and purchasing the Facebook integration option too, subject to one thing being possible. We already have a custom post type called ‘Groups’ with ~125 entries. This is quite a central part of how our site operates. I need to know whether the Events Calendar plugin can connect to this custom post type and use these groups instead of ‘organizers’? Ideally the ‘organizer’ link in an event would go through to the relevant group’s page.<\/p>\n

Shipping the existing Groups post type to Organizers isn’t a viable solution unfortunately as various other parts of the site rely on Groups, as mentioned previously.<\/p>\n

For reference the Groups can be found at http:\/\/www.leedsforchange.org.uk\/groups\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1238569","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLink Events Calendar to existing 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\/link-events-calendar-to-existing-groups\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Link Events Calendar to existing groups? -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi guys.
