How to add Events
These are the instructions to add or amend an event on the Killruddery website.
To create a new event:
- Click on the Events tab in the left sidebar
- Then click on Add Event.
- Enter the title of the event where it says Enter title here.
- Then you can write your post in the WYSIWYG box below the title.
- To insert an image, click on the Upload/Insert link just above the edit box. Then just follow the onscreen instructions to locate and upload your image (or drag and drop it). Once the image is added, scroll to the bottom of the settings and select:
- Alignment: Right
- Size: Medium
- Then Click the Insert into Post button at the bottom.
- Note: To make the top of the image align with the top of the post you need to customise it slightly:
- Back on the main edit page, click on the image in the WYSIWYG box.
- Then click the slide icon.
- Click on Advanced Settings tab at the top of the pop up box.
- Where it says Styles, enter in the following blue text: margin-top: -70px;
- To add the date and time of an event, use the When area at the top of the right sidebar.
- Then, you need to assign the post a category. This will help use navigate event types at a later stage (if we wish to divide them into different sections). You can see the categories list area on the right sidebar. You can select as many as you like for an individual event.
- To see a preview of how your event will look, click on the Preview button on the right side.
- By default, all events are sent to the Killruddery Facebook Page when published. If you do not want to do that, you need to check the Do not add link to Facebook box just above the blue Publish button.
- If you are happy how the post looks, click on the blue Publish button on the right.
To edit an existing event:
- Click on the Events tab in the left sidebar
- You will then see the list of published events.
- Simply click on the post title and you will be taken to the original post edit screen.
