How to add or edit an event

Most events are added automatically, but you can add or edit any event yourself.

1) In WordPress, go to LocalCalendar > Add New Event. To edit an event, go to LocalCalendar > LocalCalendar Events and click its title.

2) Add the event title and description.

3) Set a featured image. If an event has no image, the default image from Settings > LocalCalendar > General is used.

4) In the right-hand panel, choose an Event Category and add any Event Tags, the Event Venue and the Event Organizer.

5) Under Events Details, set the start and end date and time.

6) For a repeating event, choose a Repeat Frequency: Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly.

7) Add the Source Link, for example the venue's or organizer's event page.

8) Click Publish (or Update).

Good to know

• To feature an event at the top of the calendar, add the featured tag. See "How to feature sponsored events".
• The Submitter box shows the email of the reader who submitted the event, if there was one.
• If you use Leaky Paywall, the Leaky Paywall Visibility box works the same as on a normal post.
• To remove an event, move it to the Trash. To stop the same event being imported again, add it to the blocklist. See "How to block unwanted events".
