Events

The following information describes what is necessary to create and edit events.

Creating an event

1. Log into the admin dashboard
2. Click Events on the main left toolbar

   This will present the complete list of all events

3. Click Add New at the top of the page
4. Give your Event a title
5. Enter the body information in the large, white text editor

   There are typical word processor options here as well (ie: bold, italic,etc.)

Time & Date

6. Set the dates and times for the event from the dropdown menus

Location

This is where we set the venue information for the event. It is worth putting some detail into this area because venues are reusable. What this means is that when a future event is created, any previously defined venues can be reused without having to re-enter all the same information. Additionally, search engines and users alike benefit from details entered here.

7. Enter venue details or select existing venue

Organizers

If a primary point of contact exists for the event, enter their information here 8. Enter primary contact information

Event website

9. Enter url of primary event website (if applicable)

   Dont forget http://
   (ie: http://eventwebsite.com)

10. Add a featured image

    In many cases, you will want to add a corresponding image to represent the post you are creating. This is the iamge that will represent the post in archives, lists (where applicable), and other areas where only titles and thumbnails exist. This will also be the main header image in many cases when you select a particular post from a list and arrive at the ‘individual page’ for that post.
