 * Nope gave up on it. Ended up using Sermon Manager and All-In-One Calendar by 
   Time.ly for events.

 * Same issue here. Is there a good plugin for staff members and groups?

 * It looks like the problem happens because both your theme and this plugin are
   using the same third party library for displaying meta boxes in the WP admin.
   One or both of the authors should rename the third party functions to avoid clashes.

 * If you want a temporary, yet extremely hacky fix, you could add the lines
 *     ```
       if ( class_exists( 'cmb_Meta_Box' ) )
       	return;
       ```
   
 * to the top of the `init.php` file (right after the opening <?php tag)

 * Plugins and themes need to be doing proper checks for existing libraries before
   including them. See here: [https://github.com/jaredatch/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress/issues/294](https://github.com/jaredatch/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress/issues/294)

 * Hi Justin!
 * Thanks for your input! I’ve tried that fix yet it didn’t work. Is there any other
   feedback that you could offer??

 * Ok, I’ve never actually used this plugin, so I can’t give you any other solid
   advice. I recommend opening a support thread at their site ([http://www.wpforchurch.com/forums/](http://www.wpforchurch.com/forums/))
   if you haven’t with a link back to this thread. If they need advice for fixing
   the issue, they can feel free to contact me at this thread.

 * This should be resolved in the next version of Church Pack.
