I am using the Genesis Framework and TRI.BE's Event Calendar 2.0.1

Event Calendar creates a custom post type. It can be configured to use the default Wordpress categories. Is it possible to configure DCG to display all posts from a specific category regardless of whether they are custom post types or standard post types?

Hi,

Have you tried using the One Category method? Does it ignore the custom post type posts?

The issue appears to be that "Events" are a custom post type.

If I choose custom post type, the Dynamic Content Gallery Metabox is available on the Add/Edit Event page. I can add images and the DCG will display them.

If I choose "One Category", the Dynamic Content Gallery Metabox is available on the Add/Edit Post page.

I have configured the events post to use the standard Wordpress categories, so I have the same categories available for both post types; but, it appears that I can only use either the Event Posts or the standard Posts.

No, unfortunately, the DCG can't query all post types based on a category. I'll see if I can fix this for the next release (version 4.0).
