[EventCalendar] Re: Future event links won't display as posts

[Alex Tingle]

Hi David,

There are standard WordPress ways to achieve the desired effect. For
example, I believe that there is a "Future Posts" plug-in.

I'm trying to simplify EventCalendar, so it no longer deals with stuff
like this. There are other plug-ins that do a better job.
