[EventCalendar] Missing posts calendar or otherwise

Hi Peter,
Thanks for replying.

I have been tinkering with the WP and found a fundamental mistake -  
the reason posts were missing is because I had neglected to select a  
posts page after having deleted my initial one to start afresh! Sorry  
about that.

However, the problem has not been solved.

EC now does not display on the posts page, although the posts  
(including events posts) are now shown.

Is it possible to have EC displayed on the posts page?
I have contained the static text and EC within a table and used CSS  
to position things correctly. I have removed the table with no effect  
(still no calendar).

The first example you gave has an element of what I'm after - event  
posts displayed in order on a page which also contains regular posts  
(i.e. the WP posts page), but I would like them to be displayed in  
the form of a calendar (month with numbered days).

My 'news' page is - http://www.jubadoleao.com/jdl/?page_id=76 (the  
URL in my previous support request was perhaps a little misleading as  
it is for the homepage of the site).

What I would like to have is the following -
a static (non-index) page which contains a list of posts of differing  
categories (my WP posts page). - [not working]

On the top left-hand side of this page I would like the EC plugin to  
be displayed as a calendar (month with numbered days) and below it a  
short list of calendar events; visitors should be able to select the  
highlighted events on days of the month or short list entries and be  
taken to the individual post page for those events. - [working]

I would also like the calendar events to feature as part of the WP  
posts page along with the regular post categories (those not part of  
the calendar) - [not working].

I hope this is clear, please forgive me any incorrect terminology!

I understand that the problem may not actually be to do with EC, but  
I can't see what else it might be, as the posts page was working well  
before I added EC.
NB. the page containing my posts/ WP 'posts page' is NOT my main/  
front/ home/index page, rather a static page entitled 'news'.
Thanks,
Garret
