    I am having an issue on how to logically build and display certain posts. I currently have 3 catergories – Courses, Research Classes, Events. Here are the current problems:

    • I need to store different information – meta boxes – for each category
    • I need the single posts of each category to be displayed differently

    Is the most appropriate way to create new post types, other than the default “Events”, and build the custom meta boxes for each? My concern is displaying each single post correctly, which I assume I would then use single-$posttype.php, right?

    Tricky… depends really on how different your meta boxes are for each type. Maybe you could use JS to show/hide form fields in one or more meta boxes depending on the type chosen (e.g. via a dropdown or radio field). Then your PHP can process the relevant info depending on your type choice
