    Hi Kriesi,

    We have purchased a plugin called “Pro Event Calendar” wich runs in the Enfold theme.
    http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-pro-event-calendar/2485867

    I have a problem / question. This is what I sent to the author of that plugin:

    An event is not a post, and a post is not an event. Is there some way that an event becomes a post as well? Reason: we have a news section (blog) and this event calendar. The added events only show in the calender, so it is not marked as being news.

    The answer I got from the autor is:
    You would need to change your news post query to include the custom post type “pec-events”

    So there is my problem, is this possible in the Enfold theme?
    And if so, what would be the way to approach this?

    I read it like this:
    1. there is a news post (my post / message I type)
    2. that post is queried somehow (where is that?)
    3. there needs to be added a custom post type called “pec-events” (how?)
    4. include that custom post type in the news post query

    I am lost.

    Thanks in advance!

    Update: the author of said pluging adds this;

    ==
    I meant that it’s a feature that should be added in your theme, right where the news list query is, maybe you would need to ask to your theme developer / provider. Or use a plugin where you can choose different post types to display posts from.
    ==

    Is this option available in the theme? If not, any suggestion?
    Thanks again.

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks for the reply, but I don’t get the connection between both tickets.
    It may seem the same but it is not I believe,…

    I do not ask for a plain solution because I know this beyond the limits of your support but maybe you can point me into a direction, where I may be able to read more about is. The internet is big but I cant seem to find a proper beginning myself.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    We would be glad to help you with this customization, but at the moment there is no easy way to do this by using a small custom code snippet, so I am afraid its out of the scope of our support.

    But please feel free to request such feature at our feature request system: https://kriesi.at/support/enfold-feature-requests/

    This system allows us to keep track of user suggestions and lets you vote on the feature you would like to see the most. I am afraid though there is no guarantee that a feature will get implemented. If that’s something you really need you can always try to hire a developer for the task :)

    Best regards,
    Andy

    Okay, I understand that this goes beyond your support, and you are right!

    But can you then tell me please in wich file the news post query is located and what that part of code may look like?
    With that information I believe I can dig further.

    Thanks in advance and again no probs whatsoever because your support is always 110%.
