   Great plugin thanks.

   I am having a problem with it though. I am filling out the field for the link out, however it is not working at all. Instead, the plugin is choosing a random post to link to instead of the link I am specifying. I’d like the events that appear in my sidebar to link to a page that I specify not necessarily a page on my wp site though.

   I have tried assigning them to other posts, or to no posts at all, but it doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

   I have not come across that at all. Could you post exactly what you did to encounter this problem. You can send me the information through my contact form if you would prefer.

   Hi,

   I sent the info through your contact form. If you need to know anything else or want access to the dev site let me know. It is happening on at least 2 sites. My client's site, and then I tried to replicate the issue on my dev server and same problem happened.

   I just installed your plug in. I am using wordpress 3.2.1.

   I can not find a place to add an event.

   I will be the firs to admit I am likely the least web savy person using the plug in, can you tell me where the add an event area can be found?
   Thanks

   hi swarga, in the backend, take a look at the admin menu on the left, there you can find "Events Calendar", you can add events from there.

   There is no Admin menu on the left and no Events Calender
   I have looked in every section on the left, I have:

   Try visiting the page directly

   The admin page should be at

   /wp-admin/admin.php?page=events-calendar

    Hi, how did you solve your issue with the link out for events? I have the same problem. Thanks.

    File: ec_calendar.class.php
    Lines: 153-160

    Change:
    

    $PostID = isset($event->postID) ? $event->postID : '';
    
                    if ($PostID == '')
                        $titlinked = '<strong>'.$day_names.' '.$startDate.'</strong>: ' . $event->eventTitle;
                    else
                        $titlinked = '<a href="' . get_permalink($PostID) . '">'
                                      . '<strong>' . $day_names . ' ' . $startDate . '</strong>' . __(': ', 'events-calendar')
                                      . $event->eventTitle . '</a>';

    To:
    

    // $PostID = isset($event->postID) ? $event->postID : '';
    
                    // if ($PostID == '')
                        // $titlinked = '<strong>'.$day_names.' '.$startDate.'</strong>: ' . $event->eventTitle;
                    // else
                        // $titlinked = '<a href="' . get_permalink($PostID) . '">'
                                      // . '<strong>' . $day_names . ' ' . $startDate . '</strong>' . __(': ', 'events-calendar')
                                      // . $event->eventTitle . '</a>';
    
                    $linkout = isset($event->eventLinkout) ? $event->eventLinkout : '';
                    if ($linkout == '')
                        $titlinked = '<strong>'.$day_names.' '.$startDate.'</strong>: ' . $event->eventTitle;
                    else
                        $titlinked = '<a href="' . $linkout . '">'
                                      . '<strong>' . $day_names . ' ' . $startDate . '</strong>' . __(': ', 'events-calendar')
                                      . $event->eventTitle . '</a>';
