The Events Manager and headway

you need to add custom post type ‘event’ in your “headway-seo”.

e.g.
wp plugin ‘WordPress SEO’ works fine on EM

in theory it should work automatically , but you may want to ask headway whether their SEO function works with custom post types, or how to activate our CPTs to work with their plugin.

It works in custom post types…

It just does not appear when I go to “add an event”.

angelo_nwl .. I don’t want to add a plugin as the funcionality is already built into headway… so I am not sure what you mean when you say

“add custom post type ‘event’ in your “headway-seo”.”

Could you clarify?

I think was angelo_nwl meant was if there’s an option to add the name of a custom post type to Headway SEO panel, you could add ‘event’.

Ok Headway say the following:

Showing Headway SEO Options for Custom Posts

If you add custom post types by editing the functions.php file and you want the Headway SEO meta box to appear when editing your custom posts, add “headway-seo” to the supported parameters:

‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘author’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘excerpt’, ‘comments’, ‘headway-seo’)

I get this, but where do I put this in for the “Events Manager”.

Ok I added the following to the functions file of headway in a child theme.

add_action('init', 'my_custom_init');
function my_custom_init() {
   add_post_type_support( 'event', 'headway-seo' );
}

This loads the SEO panel when I am adding an event using the event manager now.

Just so people have an answer.

thanks for posting that, it’ll probalby help someone in the future
