I wouldn’t know how to begin, unless there is a noob guide somewhere 🙂 Is there one?

I was just making the suggestion for you guys to add it to your plugin because it would be pretty essential for most events, and doesn’t seem like it would be very hard to create.
Thanks for your reply!

hmmm this seems like a tough problem no one can crack. If anyone can solve how to make posts show up on the Events page (without using a plugin with ugly formatting like I am using now) I will send them $20 via paypal to show my appreciation. Send me an email to [email protected] and we can arrange to talk on an instant messenger, or skype, or I have a teamspeak server we could talk on. I think that would be easier then chatting back and forth on here.

thanks for your responce, but I need to keep Events displayed as posts or else it does not show who posted the event. Also that link seemed like the people were having trouble getting the sidebar to show. I did however try inserting some of those codes on my events page but it did not work.

Is there some code I can put in to retrieve my blog posts to show on the main events page? I want my posts to show up under the Events table on my homepage where it shows the list of events. http://msflights.net/

maybe a code like?

<?php
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
	<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
	<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>

all the codes I have tried don’t work. You would think there is a simple code you could add to my events template that would retrieve the posts.
Here is my events page template code if that helps.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Events Blog
*/
?>

<?php get_header() ?>

	<div id="content">
		<div class="padder">

		<?php do_action( 'bp_before_blog_page' ) ?>

		<div class="page" id="blog-page" role="main">

			<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

				<h2 class="pagetitle"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

				<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

					<div class="entry">

						<?php the_content( __( '<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page →</p>', 'buddypress' ) ); ?>

						<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><p>' . __( 'Pages: ', 'buddypress' ), 'after' => '</p></div>', 'next_or_number' => 'number' ) ); ?>
						<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit this page.', 'buddypress' ), '<p class="edit-link">', '</p>'); ?>

					</div>

				</div>

			<?php comments_template(); ?>

			<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

		</div><!-- .page -->

		<?php do_action( 'bp_after_blog_page' ) ?>

		</div><!-- .padder -->
	</div><!-- #content -->

	<?php get_sidebar() ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

No I haven’t, would I place single-event.php directly in my child theme folder or does it go under other folders?

Also which file would I use as a template for single-event.php? I couldn’t find any files that are named single-event.php under Events Manager. Also does it matter if Events Manager is set to pages or posts when creating single-event.php?

oh ok, I was under the impression that the “Paste from Word” option under the Visual section of editing a page was to copy the Formatting such as bold/text/size/font directly from word. That’s what a Lynda WordPress video tutorial uses it for.

I read an article that said to post the code before

`<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

but I still get the issue where it makes the entire page blank, any help would be much appreciated 🙂

yes I have, maybe I’m using the wrong code, but I tried:

<?php query_posts(‘cat=2’); ?>

When I try and tie my posts to the Event manager page it either just turns blank or doesn’t show up at all.

Is there another code I could use?

Thanks!
