Events are a custom post type for managing your organization’s events with date/time, location, and external links. Events can be displayed as upcoming or past events on archive pages.
The Events Screen
Navigate to Events in the WordPress admin sidebar to see all your events. The screen works like the standard Posts screen — you can edit, delete, or view individual events using the links under each title. Use Quick Edit for fast inline changes, or Bulk Actions to update multiple items at once.
Organizing with Categories
Events have their own category taxonomy. Go to Events → Categories to create and manage categories. Assign categories when editing individual events to keep your content organized.
Displaying Events on a Page
To create a page that lists your events:
- Go to Pages → Add New.
- Give the page a title (e.g., “Events”).
- In the Page Attributes panel, select the Events template.
- Save the page — the archive options will appear below the editor.
Archive Options
- Event Type — Choose to display Upcoming Events or Past Events.
- Number of Columns — Choose 1, 2, 3, or 4 column layout.
- Posts per Page — Set how many events to display per page (1–100, default: 9).
