Pages​

The Pages tab gives you greater control over your event content. Some of the things you may wish to adjust in this section:

  • Your events and locations can either display as a Post or a Page. Displaying as a Post will have data such as post date and post author displayed with it. If you don't wish to display this information select to display as a Page.
  • Change your archive pages. These are the default pages that are created when you activate Events Manager.
  • Enable/disable event search.

Formats/Layouts​

You can adjust the layouts and formats of your different pages. This lets you decide how your event pages are displayed. You will need basic HTML knowledge to edit the display.

Booking Options​

The booking options control how people register for your event. You can enable cancellations, allow guest bookings or require pre-approval.

You can also set the pricing options here. You should ensure that your currency and your currency formatting are set correctly. You can also add a tax rate to your tickets.
