 * I don’t know if this is what you mean but I’ve just found this out:
 * If you create a new contact form called e.g. “NewContactForm”, it will create
   a new CPT called “NewContactForm” in the WP Dashboard menu. Every new post you
   create using this form will be filed with the “NewContactForm” posts.
 * Even if you delete all the posts in “NewContactForm”, the CPT will remain visible
   in the menu.
 * **However**, if you go to Contact -> Contact Forms and delete the form “NewContactForm”,
   the CPT is deleted from the dashboard menu. Hope this helps.

 * Can I make insert the multi geometry polygon shapes using Leaflet Map shortcode
   instead of importing the KML?
 * e.g. something like
    [leaflet-map polygon-fill=”#00CC9966″ polygon-shape=”-0.334018,51.55671-
   0.334456,51.556808 -0.335615,51.557121 -0.336091,51.557232 -0.336437,51.557299-

 * I don’t want to have to create a new KML for each shape. Can the co-ordinates
   be put directly into Leaflet Map via shortcode?

 * (I posted the wrong shortcode above, apologies!)
 * Thanks, I tried that before but it wasn’t working – I replaced ../ with / and
   now the KML outlines show up.
 * The <title> and <description> popups in the KML aren’t showing on clicking the
   polygons, please let me know if there’s a way to get them. Or is there a way 
   to put the multigeometry shapes and popups straight into Leaflet Map without 
   needing to use the KML file?

 * Thanks Jordan, but that may not work given that the events-recurring posts are
   not valid posts to begin with, and these are all links that apparently need to
   be automatically excluded.

 * The ‘events-recurring’ link appears in search results using the EM search shortcode
   widget.
 * (I assumed that it would show the event with the start and end dates/times and
   possibly the type of recurrence.)
 * Given that they shouldn’t appear, how can these ‘events-recurring’ links be removed
   from search results/activity lists etc.?

 * It was the standard shortcode as listed on the Time.ly website. However, as only
   one calendar could appear on the page at a time – which I only noticed this morning–
   I’ve gone back to using EM.

 * So this is one way of doing it:
    [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/shortcodes/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/shortcodes/)–
   see calendar shortcodes at bottom
 * From this I found that [events_calendar full=1] gives you a calendar for the 
   present month with the event titles with prev/next arrow links, which I put in
   a test page. These links have URLs with the required data such that
 * [http://[domain]/test-month/?category=1,2,3&mo=10&yr=2017](http://[domain]/test-month/?category=1,2,3&mo=10&yr=2017)
 * gives you a calendar for October 2017 for the category IDs 1, 2 and 3.
 * Please could you let me know:
    1. Add category references to this in order to change the link colours (e.g.
        for
       all/more than one category
    2. If it is possible to use similar query strings for the category page (i.e.
        
       to restrict category events shown by month)

 * I want to be able to provide a link to a single category page which will list
   all the events in the chosen category for a given month.

 * Further to this: can a monthly view be accessed via URL?
 * e.g. something using a GET query string in the URL:
    myevents.com/category/concerts?
   m=2017-09

 * That’s fine, I’ll create a form element with two dropdowns and GET submission,
   one with child/sibling categories, and one with the coming months, and the submit
   button to call a page listing all events that fit the query.
 * e.g. events.com/category/jazz?month=December
 * From a category page, please could you tell me what array/object/class the child/
   sibling categories could be found in, and what the format of the URL should be.

 * Hi Harish, thanks for the response.
 * Can it be set so that, when someone clicks the name on the list, it automatically
   downloads the file instead of taking the user to another page with a download
   link on it? That’s what we’re after.
