Add event locations or venues to your events
Sometimes the location is an attraction to attend; might as well flaunt it by setting up and reusing venue profiles for multiple events or displaying all the events for a given venue.
After creating a Venue profile, you can use a shortcode in an event description to display the venue profile information such as the address, description and photo.
The venue manager in Event Espresso 4 is another Custom Post Type (CPT), which means that the data is available for automatic formatting and querying as with regular posts and pages.
Once a venue record is created, that information is available throughout the Event Espresso admin and the front-end of your website to inform registrants of the location of your event.
The venue record has many of the standard WordPress settings such as tags, categories, discussion settings, comments, etc., but also:
- Venue Capacity
- Venue Website
- Venue Phone Number
- Physical Location (address)
- Virtual Location
- Google Map
Each of these fields provides the necessary information for attendees and is made available for developers to display in your theme.
Venue Listings
Event Espresso is packaged with a Venue archive page which lists all the published venues. The venue single archive page lists the details about a single venue.
The style and layout of your venue pages will depend upon your theme’s design.
