Rather hilariously, I just noticed that another plugin, Events Manager, is planning to go the OTHER WAY, moving from a model where events aren’t regular posts to one where they ARE regular posts. Apparently for exactly the kind of flexibility I value in TEC 1.6.
Marcus, presumably the developer, wrote this week in the forums, “this will be possible soon (working on making events posts, so you’ll be able to have ‘private’ events).”
I feel similarly to you, but that’s how they’ve gone with this version. 🙁
The WordPress.org page for the project makes it very clear you should be careful and backup before proceeding, but unfortunately they can’t really warn you through the automatic update process.

In reply to: [The Events Calendar] "All Day Event" Bug in WP3.2 [with Solution]r3volution11, I tried comparing your new code to the original, and the DOS fc command gave up, saying they were too different. I noticed you even removed stuff like some of the EventBrite language. Probably not a big deal, but it just makes me wary until I can audit everything….
Still I want and need a solution like yours, and I thank you for sharing it…
Meanwhile, the save-draft workaround has been doing the job.
Beats me; that’s what I WOULD have done. What’s the practical result for you right now? Can you access new calendar entries at the /category/events URL? What exactly is mismatched?
I mean, if everything’s pointing to and working with the /category/events URL, do you really have a problem?
I’m pretty sure category/events/month is the correct URL in 1.6.5.
I have no idea why it would be missing/changed — did you remove and reinstall 1.6.5?
(I’m just a fellow user.)
Whoa, check it out, my userid got magically changed. Funky.
Thanks… all I was talking about were navigation menu URLs of the form http://example.org/category/activities/ourmeetings/
Right now (with the 1.x version of the plugin) a URL of that form can seamlessly list both TEC Event notices/posts and subsequent newspaper article or photo coverage of those meetings — because they are all checked in the single “OurMeetings” category.
I don’t know how or if that would/could be done in TEC 2.x ?

Isn’t that the ENTIRE POINT and ADVANTAGE of your calendar plugin? That events ARE posts? That’s what gives/gave it so much flexibility, simplicity, and potential!
For example, I love that Events can appear in virtual page listings using regular old WordPress Categories, mixed right in with other posts with that same Category assignment. I also like that a post can be switched seamlessly from a Post to an Event and back again.
Is none of that possible any longer in the 2.0 versions? It seems you have your own separate “Event Categories” now?
