Website Calendar

We are using The Events Calendar plugin for our website calendar.

I put up the events, so we should have something for the WCU New Member Orientation. However, we should include more details about the events so new members or the public can better understand them.

I am going to link to the Events Calendar Knowledgebase and DevDocs through this because they will better describe features than I can. If you have questions about using the Events Calendar, please look through those sources before asking here. We can contact their support if we still cannot figure something out.

Event Pages

Creating Events Knowledgebase
Each calendar event has a page, and recurring events can have the same page each time - see our General Meeting Event page as an example.

Here is what needs to be filled out for every event:

Venue Pages

Creating Venues Knowledgebase
Venue pages can include an address, map, image, and a list of upcoming events at that location. This page is an example. I made a page for the Odd Fellows Lodge, where we usually meet, to serve as a template for future locations.

I am putting these misc settings here so everyone is aware they were changed from the default.
