What it does is that it creates a new post type (next to pages, portfolio items and posts), called "events". They are very similar to regular posts. The difference is that I can include a start date and end date in the future (something I cannot do with posts, because then they won't be publish), as well as an event location and some other specific event metadata.
I was assuming I could now choose "events" from the functionality tab within the posts widget (see screenshot). You can't see the dropdown menu in the screenshot, but it still shows three options: posts, portfolio and product. No events.
Can you help me with that? Basically what I want to do is display events on the portfolio page, that have a future start date and ending date, location and organizer name. Maybe you know a better plugin for that, it really doesn't have to be the events-as-posts plugin. I just thought this one was straightforward.
I would really appreciate any ideas.

By default Bifrost does not support Custom Post Types. If you need further help on this one, we can help you(even that further customization is not covered by the support). We'll add the event type in the posts element.

Hi and thanks for your reply. I would appreciate a lot if you can help me.
Anyway to be honest, I am not 100% sure if the event type posts will do the trick. Because the single event items are in a certain layout hat I can't change and also they have no option for redirecting to a different page.
Maybe there is a better way to accomplish my need, which is to have a page showing future events, which in turn are single items – akin to the portfolio or blog system.
For example, is there any way to add custom meta information fields to the blog/portfolio page? And is there any way to make posts show a future date, so they can serve as events?
Do you know how other people handle event entries using your themes?
I am not very sure about the Events in Bifrost theme or in any other theme of ours. If you can have a look into the showcase of Bifrost, maybe you can find any that is using similar layout or similar post type.
Dear Neuron Team,
I have installed this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-as-posts/

Now, I would like to display these events on this portfolio page, just as I can display posts or portfolio items: https://akteursplattform-bne.de/fortbildungsangebote/

To add custom meta information, we need to hard code them, there's no other way.
Feel free to ask for anything you need.
