[Plugin: The Events Calendar] How to get events to show on Front Page?

Hey coralbay..

To go back to 1.6.5 is so easy. First you install the plugin called convert post types. Then find it under your Tools tab on the sidebar after you activate it. Convert the “tribe_events” to “post”. Then Deactivate 2.0 events calendar, uninstall. Then click the link to the older versions, download the zip, go to “add plugin” and upload the .zip and activate the plugin. Done

Keeping 2.0 then do this.

Here is the link to the code to paste: Click here

Paste that directly below the first line in functions.php which is this:

<?php wp_enqueue_script(‘jquery’);

coralbay, it is rather easy to do the second option if you are unsure. As long as you paste what I have below that first line it should work. Make sure to change the words demo if you would like it to say events under the labels section, if you don’t it will read demos on your dashboard sidebar instead of events. Run it will demo/demos and you will see what I mean, it will still work. It is specifically the part from ‘name’ to ‘not found in trash’ that you should change the word demo or demos to event or events.

handsomeman, thanks for the easy description. would all be fine if… adispo template was not a custom-made one. i cannot find the function.php file on the server. only in the other themes which are also there, but not on adispo. what else?

Oh that makes more sense, hmm… then I would take the route of using the Convert Post Types plugin.

does that convert post types route work with 2.0? you’re so kind to answer all my questions…

Hey Coral Bay. It does work with 2.0. In fact 2.0 events plugin must still be enabled for it to work properly. If you disable the events calender plugi before running post types it won’t be able to find any posts to covert.

Its a very easy plugin to use. Much kudos to handsome man for telling us. Without it I would have been up all night adding 301 redirects to the thousands of permalinks destroyed by the implementation of 2.0.

Unless you want google to drop you from the search results do this quickly

Yup mykkal is spot on , let us know if you have any questions before you do but it is extremely easy.
