All you’d need to do is call the wp_insert_post() function to author a new post when you fill in event details. My plugin provides all the fields you ask for so you’d just have to put them in two places by passing them to the function.

Details on how to use this function is provided here:

From your post I deduce that you don’t want to delete such a post after the event is over which simplifies the solution to my calendar and an alteration as described above.

Should you so wish you could also cause the edit event function in my calendar to fire off to wp_insert_post() too such that modifications to the event would be reflected in the post, but obviously this is not essential, at least initially while you get things working.

What data exactly are you looking to put into these posts? And you’re looking for the posts to disappear after a certain period of time?

My calendar plugin does all of these things with the exception of creating posts. Seeing as you can create posts yourself I’d give it a shot and see how you get on with it

For those above who were trying to get my calendar plugin working, there is now a new version out which fixes the 404 problems and negates the need to spread files around your WordPress install.

My calendar plugin has a sidebar widget with upcoming events. Events can also have clickable links.

Johnny, where do you have your blog installed relative to your domain?

Allowing authors to post events is coming in the next version due to demand.

The mouse-over doesn’t work on IE6 anyway so I think the issue you are seeing is unrelated. IE6 is an outdated and soon to be unsupported browser. You should upgrade to IE6.

This is not possible in the current version but will be when the next version is released in the not too distant future.

Two things you should try;

1) Check that the .htaccess file is not being over-written by WordPress. If it is, or you sustpect it is, set its permissions so that no user can write to it and this should stop happening.

2) What browser are you using? Sometimes when using IE you can end up with a permanent 404 error, even though content is being sent, the browser just shows 404. Browsers such as Firefox do not exhibit this problem. Do you see the issue in all browsers?

3) If the above doesn’t work you might have a different setup for your blog. Post up a URL to your blog here and a copy of your .htaccess file and I’ll try to help with your specific configuration.

Your .htaccess file looks strange; it contains more variables along the URL than are used in my Calendar plugin. Have you tried to modify it in any way?

Assuming you haven’t my advice would be to remove the two RewriteRule lines that you have underneath the RewriteBase line and leave the rest. Then you should find my plugin comes to life on https://swbtc.net/calendar

If you have somehow got a modified version, please use the version from here instead

That’s a helpful post alexdunae, thanks ??

If your server runs Linux it is also well worth chmod’ing your .htaccess file such that it cannot be modified by anyone once you are happy with its contents. This will stop you accidentally over-writing changes you have made to it for Calendar or any other plugin or application.

You definitely have calendar installed, I can see it here

You need to do three things

– Sort the style on wp-calendar.php to get it to work better with what you have
– Remove any page with the slug “calendar”
– make sure your .htaccess file is setup correctly (if it is already though then the first two steps will fix your calendar)

If you need anymore help, just ask.
