I can’t seem to get Event Posts to show up in the admin since we updated WordPress and migrated EE3 to EE4. See screenshot:

What can I do to debug this? Or am I looking in the wrong spot?

Hi there,
It turns out, that in EE4, events are posts. Specifically, they are WordPress custom post-types. The event posts feature in EE3 was kind of a hack at getting post-type-like functionality, and was no longer needed in EE4 since in EE4, events are posts.

So this “feature” won’t create posts automatically, like it says here:
https://eventespresso.com/features/event-posts/
But, instead the events are their own posts?
Also, in the migration process, should I assume that the EE3 event posts have been removed?

The feature is different in EE4 in that instead of having duplicate content the way EE3 did (where you’d have one URL that points to an event, that’s not a post, and another URL that points to a post about that event), you have one canonical URL that is a post, that is about an event.
If you were using the Post post type in EE3, then those will not be removed. If you were using the Event Post custom post option in EE3, then those are not registered in EE4. However, all existing events get migrated to EE4 event custom post types when you migrate.
