 * Howdy Camuel,
 * [Does this tutorial help address your issue](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/tec-with-jetpack/)?
   If not, let us know what’s missing so we can add to it. We certainly want to 
   make the two as compatible as we can. Please let us know if that worked.
 * Cheers!

 * Thanks for getting back to me Brook. I’m afraid the link you sent doesn’t contain
   a solution. I just posted a new Event and you can see that the Markdown hyperlinks
   aren’t working at all…

 * It’s fine on pages and posts, just not events. Any ideas?

 * Hi camuel,
 * Do you happen to know offhand whether Jetpack Markdown is compatible with custom
   post types–or is it only compatible with standard posts? That would go a long
   way to help explain what’s happening here.
 * Cheers!

 * Interesting Geoff. Thank you for the pointer. I just Googled that and found a
   post with instructions:
 * [http://jetpack.me/support/markdown/](http://jetpack.me/support/markdown/)
 * It says:
 * You’ll need to replace “product” by your Custom Post Type name.
 * So what would the ‘Custom Post Type’ name be for the Events Calendar custom posts?
 * We’re getting closer!

 * Just looking through this and I’m getting a bit out of my depth…
 * > There are 2 options to add Markdown support to a specific Custom Post Type 
   > on your site:
   > You can add Markdown support to an existing post type thanks to the add_post_type_support()
   > function. To do so, add the following code to a functionality plugin:
   >  add_action(‘
   > init’, ‘my_custom_init’); function my_custom_init() { add_post_type_support(‘
   > product’, ‘wpcom-markdown’ ); } You’ll need to replace “product” by your Custom
   > Post Type name.
 * Where would I add this code? Would I have to edit the code of the Events Calendar
   plugin? If so, can someone talk me through this please?
 * Thank you

 * Here’s number 2 from the web page linked to above:
 * You can add Markdown support when registering the post type, like so:
 * > // Register Custom Post Type
   >  function custom_post_type() {
   >  $labels = array(
   >  ‘name’ => _x( ‘Products’, ‘Post Type General Name’, ‘text_domain’),);
   > $args = array( ‘label’ => __( ‘product’, ‘text_domain’ ), ‘supports’ => array(‘
   > title’, ‘editor’, ‘publicize’, ‘wpcom-markdown’ ), ); register_post_type( ‘
   > product’, $args );
   > }
   >  // Hook into the ‘init’ action add_action( ‘init’, ‘custom_post_type’, 0);

 * Hey [@camuel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/camuel/),
 * That code can and should be added to your theme’s _functions.php_ file.
 * I hope this information helps!
