Adding Additional Fields of Information When Creating Events – The Events Calendar – Video & Article
Learn how to add additional fields to display more information about events on individual event pages.
What happens when you have a piece of information, like a room number or maybe a co-organizer that you’d like to display in its own area on an event page? Our events system offers you a large area to display information pertaining to the event, but maybe you want it in its own distinct area. You can do that with Additional Fields.
- From your dashboard, hover over Events and then click on Settings.
- Click on the Additional Fields tab.
- Add a new field and select what type of field it needs to be.
- A text field will be a small, single line of text.
- A text area will be a large, paragraph-sized text area.
- A URL is a link to a webpage.
- There are also radio button options, checkboxes, or drop-downs.
- Set the field label.
- Save changes.
- Edit an event or create a new one.
- Under Additional Event Fields, you’ll see your newly-added field.
- Fill in the content for your new field and Publish/Update the event.
Alternatively, additional information that you’d like to add to an event can just be added in the description of the event.
