So it appears that our plugin and the calendar plugin have a function named the same.

Only solution is to change one of them to not be conflicting. That is, change name of function and all calling locations. In Simple Press, that will be hundreds of locations. Plus their function is in a deprecated file, so may not even be used. Not familiar with the events plugin though.

Always a potential when including code (ie plugins) from multiple folks.
