Post events page as regular blog post

    Dear events manager community,

    I am almost sure that the issue I have was already addressed here in the past. Unfortunately, I must have searched for the wrong “buzz words” because I couldn’t find anything appropriate. Please excuse therefore my question:

    Currently, events manager displays a list of upcoming events in a widget on the right side of the start page. If you click on a particular event, then its event page is being displayed. What I want to do is displaying this event page as a regular “article” on the start page of the blog. Let’s say such an article should always be automatically displayed two weeks before the event. The “article” should behave like all other articles on the start page, i.e. if I add a regular blog post after the two week reminder was displayed, then the reminder should become blog post no. 2 while the newly added post becomes no. 1. I hope I could make clear what I want.

    If someone can tell me how you call this, then I can maybe find the right forum posts.

    Thank you all!

    Best,
    mykro

  • EM User here…

    I won’t say it’s impossible, but it is very tricky and pretty hard to accomplish… Even if you do include the custom post type ‘event’ to be included in the front-page posts loop (Google search for that), you would have to deal with published date vs event start date.

    EM did include a filter that changes the event published date to the event start date, but I have removed that on my blogs as that will tell Google the wrong info and cause SEO penalties. Still then with that filter, your event will only appear on the front page on the actual start date. So that is another reason to remove the filter. ??

    I guess the easiest thing to do, it so simply create a post pointing to the event. With a redirect set, if a visitor clicks on the “post excerpt” they will be redirected to the event.
