Dear Support,
\nThe users of my website enter their events through a WPForm and all events land in a Custom Post Type called “Events”. Your calendar comes with a separate place for events which I can fill from the backend without any problem. <\/p>\n

Now, because I like the visual options that the Custom Post Type gives me (to display list of events for a special category only, for example) and it is much easier to change the look and feel of titles and such. I would like the Event Calendar to grab its content from my custom post type, not your event menu point. As I want things to appear when they are posted, I don’t want to create a file which then is uploaded via the Aggregator. I just want to tell your calendar where to grab the events from.<\/p>\n

Is this possible?
\nI can gladly send you screen shots if this would help if I have not been able to make myself clear enough.
\nBest regards,
\nMarianne<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1521836","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nUsing only custom post type events to fill calendar (not a one-time upload) -<\/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\/using-only-custom-post-type-events-to-fill-calendar-not-a-one-time-upload\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Using only custom post type events to fill calendar (not a one-time upload) -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Dear Support, The users of my website enter their events through a WPForm and all events land in a Custom Post Type called “Events”.
