[EventCalendar] Urgent: permalinks for events show date posted

Sat Mar 3 13:49:17 UTC 2007

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reply :)

'Therefore they show up in archives on their posting date - unless you
suppress that
behaviour with "Keep Events Separate".'

So are you saying that if I use 'Keep Events Separate' they should not show
up in my archives page? If so, I'm afraid they do show on my archives page
as date posted. I also noted that in admin of WP on the dashboard the
'scheduled entries' listing vanishes.

Kind regards
Karl
