#1 Create the General Public Version of the Event

(which will NOT have a registration link if this is a Member event, but we want the public to know what they are missing, so they may be motivated to JOIN)

1. Click “Events” in the dashboard (Located on the left of the dashboard)
2. Find an event that already exists, that is in the “General” category, and hover over it
3. Click “Clone” to duplicate it
4. Then look for that post in the list. It will have the word “Draft” at the end of it because it will be in draft mode.
5. Open it in the editor and change all the content inside it
6. Fill in Title and then edit the “slug” field (underneath the title field) at the end of the url so that it matches the title with dashes between each word
7. Fill in description of the event into the paragraph/body field
8. Be sure to leave the bottom section that has the shortcodes for the 2 buttons. These buttons lead members to the Solution Center where they can register, and lead nonmembers to the JOIN page so they can become a member.
9. Scroll down until you see the time and date field. Choose the time and date for the event.
10. If the date is re-occurring, click add more events below and choose the best option for you, whether weekly or monthly, etc.
11. Underneath is the location section. Click Create or find a venue, if appropriate. Search the name of the venue first, if it’s not there, press enter once you’ve typed the full name and put in the address to create a new venue.
12. Go to the bottom right side and Insert a Featured Image (bottom right of window) (Important)
13. Scroll back up and check that the event is truly in the “General” Category, which is for non-members

   3. Click “Clone” to duplicate it
   4. Then look for that post in the list. It will have the word “Draft” at the end of it because it will be in draft mode.
   5. Open it in the editor and change all the content inside it- you should basically just be copy/pasting the same content you just now put into the General version of the event
   6. Change the title Title to your new title and edit the “slug” field (underneath the title field) at the end of the url so that it matches the title you just wrote, but with the word -members at the end

There are too many things to possibly tell you about editing static pages, but it is pretty intuitive, so here are just a few tips

• Here is a good tutorial for editing inside the page builder of your website. You will find most of the info you need here.
• In general, pages are laid out with Rows… that have 1-6 COLUMNS in them… and inside the columns there are module elements of various kinds.
• In general, you hover over an element and click on the pencil icon to edit and element.
• In general…. to add a new row, section or element to a page DUPLICATE AN EXISTING SECTION and then edit what is inside. That way you will get all the formatting and structure correct. If you wing it and create from scratch, you have to do a lot more work, so DUPLICATE if at all possible.
