The solution is to edit the default templates to fit in with your theme (you can use your theme’s own templates as a guideline). Occasionally, they simply don’t work well with a given theme – the event content might not appear right, or the sidebar might seem displaced. Unfortunately its impossible for the default templates to work with every theme. By selecting one (or multiple) days (in month mode) or times (in week/day mode) you can create an event that spans the selected period. You can also add events in the Calendar view in a manner similiar to Google Calendar. The chief difference between events and post is the ‘Event Details’ metabox which sets the date and venue data related to the event. To create a event, select the ‘Add New’ submenu from ‘Events’ menu.
Default templates can be over-ridden by including the appropriately named template files in your theme folder.
