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.
