So, I’ve I know web dev fundamentals with JS, Node, and MySQL, but I haven’t worked much on complex serious websites, and I’m a newbie to WordPress. Like, newbie enough that I only *just* learned that WP saves all posts and pages as database entires and don’t know much about how their database is set up.
I’m working with a friend to transition this website from using EventBrite to using SeeTickets. It looks like EventBrite had a lot of stuff to handle imports and event calendars, having a separate tab on the sidebar just for its imported events.
My friend already did some setup stuff with See Tickets where they’re using AllImport to import the list of events (which so far seems to match the events list EventBrite was getting.)
After fumbling with import settings I realized that all the imports were coming in as normal blog posts and clogging up the blog. I played with some settings and have imported the events as “Events”. I think I can see that they’re showing up in the database. They’re not longer showing up in the blog or under the “posts” tab, but I don’t know what to do from here!
The website already has the MyCalendar plugin, and it shows a list of a completely different category of event (the space has shows and classes, which are displayed on separate pages). I *assume* these events are also all just saved on on the wp_posts table and the plugins have shit set up to show them under the MyCalendar tab and not under the Posts tab. I figure maybe I can get AllImport to import the See Tickets event to MyCalendar, and then just separate things by category when I need to, but I really don’t know what I’m doing here, and I haven’t been able to find my way yet looking at the various plugins’ documentation.
Can anyone here steer me in the right direction?

You likely imported them as a custom post type called events. Is there a link to events in the left nav in the wp admin dashboard? They wouldn’t be listed under the regular posts tab. Also, the blog likely only shows regular posts and not any custom post types
