first – it would be nice to be able to search just the pre-sales section of your forum… I did this question as a search and may have found the answer but it was locked unless I’m already a customer… anyhoo:
I need to know if each event is also a Post, or can also be a Post so that I can display events along with blog posts in the loop, as well as to assign categories as I do with Posts and so forth.
Here is the use case:
The site is a church with ministries & on their home page I’m using the metafizzy Isotope to show a masonry grid of blog posts, inspirational photos, products and events — both recurring ministry events that are free/open to the public as well as show conferences, concerts etc which require tickets.
The idea is to have all of this content shown in the masonry grid with some buttons to allow the site visitor to filter — for example click the category “Events” –> get just the events but then click “all” and see it all again.
You can also click on any ministry and see their blog — which is created by filtering posts where cat_name = the ministry.
2nd question:
How are recurring events handled? Is a new Post (or new data base entry) created for each event in the series? Or does it take the same post and just update the published on date to bring it back up top in the loop?
Thanks
Jason

Hello Jason,
Events do not create blog posts automatically. When adding an event, you can choose to create a post for the event, which will add a post to the blogroll. You can also choose whether to add categories to the event posts.
As far as recurring events; if, when setting them up, you choose to create a post for the event, it will create a blog post for each of the events immediately.
