How to add an event
A step-by-step guide
Adding an event is something done in two parts. First, a ‘product’ has to be created in order for the checkout process to work. Second, we create the Event, where we add the Event information, and link the product to it.
Part One – creating the ‘product’
First, we are going to duplicate an existing ‘product’.
Step 1a – Go to Event Registration.
Step 1b – Click ‘All’ to see all products.
Step 1c – Hover over the 3-dot menu on a product you want to duplicate.
Step 1d – In the 3-dot menu, click ‘Edit’.
Step 1e – Click the ‘duplicate icon’.
You are now immediately in your duplicated product settings page. The next step is to replace old information with the new event information.
Step 2 – Editing the product settings.
Here is a small overview of the product settings page. Note the green areas.
The product settings is a pretty long page, so it has its own menu at the top left hand side. We are only going to change information in these sections:
• Details (the event title)
• Images (the banner designer for the event)
• Marketing (the url and seo for the event)
Step 2a – Replace the product title.
Step 2b – Replace the product image.
Step 2c – Click ‘Edit’ to replace url and SEO with the product title.
Note: You will have to remember/write down/come back to and copy the url. It is needed for the ‘Register for this event’ button. More on this in Part Two!
Part Two – creating the ‘event’
Now, we are going to duplicate an existing ‘event’.
Step 1a – Go to the Event page.
Step 1b – Hover over the 3-dot menu on an event you want to duplicate, then click ‘Settings’.
Step 1c – In ‘Settings’ / ‘Content’, click ‘Duplicate’.
You now have a duplicate draft event in the left-hand menu.
Now that we have duplicated an existing event, the next step is to replace old information with the new event information, both in ‘Event Settings’ and on the public event page.
Editing the ‘Event Settings’.
You access the settings via the 3-dot menu on the draft duplicate event you just created.
Step 2a – Modify the ‘Content’.
Step 2b – Modify the ‘Options’ / ‘Status’.
Step 2c – Modify the ‘Options’ / ‘Tags’.
Step 2d – Modify the ‘Location’.
Save the ‘Event Settings’. This concludes the ‘Event Settings’ portion.
Next is the public event page.
Editing the public event page.
You access the public event page by clicking on the draft page in the left hand menu. When the event page you want to edit has loaded, click ‘Edit’ to go into editing mode.
Step 3a – Modify the public event page.
For text: Select the text and replace it.
For buttons and images: Select the item and in the menu that appears over it, select the pen icon.
