Disable the WordPress event plugin.
Use following code in functions.php to find your theme has events function.
if ( post_type_exists( 'events' ) ) {
echo 'the Event post type exists';
}else{
echo 'the Event post type does not exists';
}
-
If you find theme has events custom post type, find where your theme register the custom post type. Most probably it is functions.php. Check functions.php has
register_post_type( 'events', $args );
. $args variable may be has different name. So find where is locatingregister_post_type( 'events',
using IDE or pressing ctrl+f5. -
If you found it in functions.php create a child theme. Just a google search, you can find how to create a child theme even you are not a WordPress developer. It is not hard.
-
Then copied functions.php file to child theme. Then remove the
register_post_type( 'events', $args );
parts from it.
