custom post type for beginners

Honestly not sure what to suggest here. I realize we had our plugin recommended for some reason, but that’s not really going to solve what you’re trying to do, as we would only handle the registration aspect of the post type, and nothing else. From the original reply in that linked forum thread, you’re trying to show user-created events on their profile page, with that plugin. We’re not going to have any code/functionality that would help with that part.
