I am using Forefront and I need not only a blogs page/recent posts widget but an events page with upcoming events widget in addition to that. Upcoming events would be posted to a second blog-like list but different from blog entries they would be displayed by the event date and not the post date. Is anything like this available in Forefront, as an add-on, or elsewhere?
I’m afraid I’m not aware of any plugins that will do what you’re looking for out of the box. I recently developed something very similar for a client, but it was completely custom.
You may have luck searching for “custom post type wordpress plugins”.
You can email me at support@generatepress.com to discuss if you’d like. My schedule right now is super hectic, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I get a minute.
