I Just wanted to try one more time. My last comment was deleted. Maybe it was to long? Or should I not include code in the comment?

Anyway. I have “Events are normal posts” selected in the EC 3.0 options, but contrary to what I expected from the documentation, I am seeing FUTURE dated event posts on my home page. It seems like I should only be seeing event posts dated up until the current date. My home page is http://sonicarts.public-information.org

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? They would be much appreciated.

P.S. Thanks Heather for your help on my question RE: multiple event categories. It works great.

Is it possible to customize the format to display the list as:

Or even this if possible:

January 2005 Saturday 14 – Free Ski Day (8:00am) Saturday 14 – Big Club Meeting (7:00pm)

February 2005 Sunday 05 – Test Post

I tried playing with the custom format but could not come anywhere close to achieving this.

My question, to anyone in the know, is it possible to show only “todays” events in the sidebar? I realise this may be a total newbie dumbass question but I haven’t been able to answer it for myself after trawling the forums till my eyes bleed…

I am confused about something else.

My “Event” category is Syllabus, and I have “Show events as blog entries” set to “Events are normal posts.” I am using Wordpress 1.5.2, with a modified Kubirck template.

I have changed two files,

one in classes.php that changes $q['order']=’DESC’; to $q['order']=’ASC’;
