Howdy Camuel,
Does this tutorial help address your issue? If not, let us know what’s missing so we can add to it. We certainly want to make the two as compatible as we can. Please let us know if that worked.
Cheers!

Thanks for getting back to me Brook. I’m afraid the link you sent doesn’t contain a solution. I just posted a new Event and you can see that the Markdown hyperlinks aren’t working at all…

It’s fine on pages and posts, just not events. Any ideas?
Hi camuel,
Do you happen to know offhand whether Jetpack Markdown is compatible with custom post types–or is it only compatible with standard posts? That would go a long way to help explain what’s happening here.
Cheers!

Interesting Geoff. Thank you for the pointer. I just Googled that and found a post with instructions:
http://jetpack.me/support/markdown/
It says:
You’ll need to replace “product” by your Custom Post Type name.
So what would the ‘Custom Post Type’ name be for the Events Calendar custom posts?
We’re getting closer!

Just looking through this and I’m getting a bit out of my depth…
There are 2 options to add Markdown support to a specific Custom Post Type on your site:
You can add Markdown support to an existing post type thanks to the add_post_type_support() function. To do so, add the following code to a functionality plugin:
add_action(‘init’, ‘my_custom_init’);
function my_custom_init() {
add_post_type_support( ‘product’, ‘wpcom-markdown’ );
}
You’ll need to replace “product” by your Custom Post Type name.
Where would I add this code? Would I have to edit the code of the Events Calendar plugin? If so, can someone talk me through this please?
Thank you

Here’s number 2 from the web page linked to above:
You can add Markdown support when registering the post type, like so:
// Register Custom Post Type
function custom_post_type() {
$labels = array(
‘name’ => _x( ‘Products’, ‘Post Type General Name’, ‘text_domain’ ),
);
$args = array(
‘label’ => __( ‘product’, ‘text_domain’ ),
‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘publicize’, ‘wpcom-markdown’ ),
);
register_post_type( ‘product’, $args );
}
// Hook into the ‘init’ action
add_action( ‘init’, ‘custom_post_type’, 0 );
Hey @camuel,
That code can and should be added to your theme’s functions.php file.
I hope this information helps!
