The event posts can be used to create calendar events with a detailed description. The title is the event name. Each event has a mandatory start date field and an optional end date for longer events. The detailed text field allows shortcodes but no further formatting other than linebreaks. Each post can display a different thumbnail image to visually highlight the type of event. If none is provided, it will use the image from the general settings. A second, larger image can be shown to the right of the detailed description. In the final layout, all entries are ordered by the start date.
Add an event
The video shows how to enter a few dummy events. The first entry doesn’t set any images. The second one picks a different thumbnail image. The third FAQ picks a different thumbnail image as well as the additional image for the text area. Finally, you see the list of entered events. Sorting by the start date column rearranges the posts in the order they will later show up.
Layout samples
The custom events posts can be displayed in several layouts. Below are four sample layouts: Slider, accordion, unordered list, and flat.
