    Matthew,

    Have you found a way of pushing events created to social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc) once published?

    It doesn’t seem that MF Gig Calendar events “register” as posts so I’ve not been able to figure out a way to push created events out automatically (via plug-ins like WP to Buffer, or Publicize, etc).

    Are you doing anything of the sort, or have any ideas?

    Cheers,

    Luis

    You’re correct. In an effort originally to make this as simple as possible I didn’t even mess with registering and manipulating the events as custom post types. So, no there is no built in way to push the events in that way. There is a RSS feed which I suppose you could use.

    I created this as a simple way to display events as objects on pages and posts – since there were plenty of event plugins out there made with custom post types already. I wanted something simpler.

    Now that I’m getting so many requests for enhancements and additions like yours I’m working on a whole new version that will register the events as post types so you’ll be able to do more WordPressy things with them. Also will help with SEO I’m sure.

    All while trying to maintain the simplicity I was going for in the beginning. Stay tuned…

    Did I say “simple” enough in that message? 😛
