   I've installed Event Calendar and the sidebar widget. Entering Events as Posts works great and the both the Calendar and Upcoming Events sidebar widgets display fine.

   But I can't figure out how to display a Calendar Page. Do I need to add something to the Weaver template files, or use shortcodes on a page, or something else? Others make it sound like the Calendar page is automatic but I can't figure out how to make it happen.

   Also, how do I get the Event category listing to be ordered by the event date (currently orders by Publish date)?

   The only way I can get the event listing in the order you specify abnd not the post date is to filter the loop using query posts:
   

   global $query_string;
   query_posts( $query_string . "&order=ASC" );

   1. set up a custom field called date (I used the plugin more fields) using the format yyyy/mm/dd

   2. Order by this in query posts i.e.
   

   global $query_string;
   query_posts( $query_string . "&meta_key=event_date&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC" );
