    Hi. A while back I rolled back to The Events Calendar vs 1.6.5 since I didn’t like the fact that the posts were now separated from the events calendar. Is that still the same? I am also wondering whether I am missing out on some good stuff by not upgrading – now to 3.03. 1.6.5 seems to do everything that I really need. I like the widget on the side bar that says what is coming up when and you can link to the post for more info with a Google Map etc so is there a huge advantage in changing to 3.03 which would involve creating events eparate to posts?

    They are still separate post types and will probably remain so for all forseeable future releases, but read on ?? …

    You are! There is a fresh new look and feel and a very flexibile and powerful new templating system. Also, and this may be pertinent to your first question, we now have a setting to integrate events into the main blog loop.

    The free version is, of course, free – so you could always take it for a spin in a testing site/locally and see if it works for you ??

    Thanks Barry, I threw caution to the wind and updated on my Perth Morris site. The fact that you can integrate the event into the main blog loop solves the ptoblem that prevented me from upgrading in the first place – it is a pain to do the same thing twice but now you don’t have to. Cheers

    Great to hear – thanks Steven ??
