Written instructions

  1. Enter title here – enter the name of the event.
  2. Publish date – default is the current date but can be set to a date in the future.
  3. Click your mouse in the large, empty box and start adding the main content you want to be displayed on the event listing page. This is a basic editor that allows you to format text as headings and add images by clicking the blue ‘Add Media’ button above the box.
  4. Add excerpt… This is a short summary of your event, used to entice people to click on the link for more details. 1-3 sentences should suffice. It does not appear on the event listing page, but it does on many others. HTML coding is required for things like bold text and paragraphs so, best to keep it simple if you don’t know how to code.
  5. Select Calendar – select the type of event from the drop-down list.
  6. Select Organizer – select from the list, and if you haven’t listed before, you can add the details by clicking the + button.
  7. Select Venue – select from the list, and if it isn’t there, you can add the details by clicking the + button. Some venues are categorised under Church or Camp.
  8. Select time and Date – You can set it to be an all-day event or start on one date, at a particular time and finish on another day and time. You can also set the event to repeat – with limitations.
  9. Event Featured Image – RECTANGLE (1.6:1 ratio) 480px by 300px works best with our site
