Initial setup#

After activation, you will see a new Events menu in your WordPress admin with these items: Overview, All Events, Event Categories, Venues, Organizers, Speakers, Speaker Categories, Attendees, Check-in, Waitlist, Settings, and Import.

Before creating events, review a few settings.

Configure plugin settings#

Go to Events > Settings. The tabs are General, Display, Tickets, Check-in, PDF Tickets, Google Maps, Emails, and Advanced. The ones to check first:

General

  • Default Timezone for new events
  • Events Archive Page if you want a custom page instead of the default archive

Display

  • Show Past Events in archives and calendars
  • Which sections appear on single event pages (location, speakers, share buttons, Add to Calendar)

Tickets

  • Ticket Code Prefix and Code Length for ticket codes
  • Attendee Information: collect name and email for each ticket holder at checkout

Google Maps

  • Google Maps API Key if you want venue maps on event pages

The event URL base is set on Settings > Permalinks under Event Permalinks. The default is event.

See Settings for every option.

  2. Enter an event title and description
  3. In the Event Settings box, set Start Date & Time
