Event calendar

Olympus theme is integrated with The Events Calendar plugin, which allows you to create an events calendar and manage it with ease. 

Once the plugin is installed and activated you're going to want to create some events.

Event creation

• The event is created under Events->Add New tab. 

Just as with a page or post, you can add a title and description to your event. The expected controls for saving it as a draft or publishing it are present, too:

Event Time

Of course, events have specific bits of information associated with them that most pages and posts don’t require – start and end dates, for instance, not to mention venues and organizers.

Fields to set all of these things can be found below the description editor, in an area called the events meta box:

• The Start/End – this is simply when the event starts and finishes. Clicking into either date field will pop up a date picker, where you may select your desired dates from a calendar. Event start and end times may be selected from a drop-down menu, or you may enter your dates and times manually if you prefer. If you already checked the All Day Event box you will not be able to specify a time for your event
• The All Day Event checkbox is useful when the event is taking place on a particular date (or dates) – but you don’t really know when, or else feel that it is good enough to say it takes place “all day” without being more specific

Event location

• If this is your first time using The Events Calendar, you’ll see this list of fields for creating your first event venue.
• Create option from the menu options will display the new venue form fields below, allowing you to create a new venue for your event.

It’s also worth noting that you don’t need to create (or use) a venue. If you prefer not to specify a venue, simply move on to the next section.

Provide a name for the venue and any optional address details – if you like – a contact phone number and website.

Organizers

Here you can provide organizer details and, if you do, you need only provide as much information as you want to.

Event website

The next section in the New Event Admin lets you (again, optionally) provide an event website:

This is particularly useful if you are showcasing events organized by external organizations and they have a dedicated event website.

Event Cost

Once again you can pass on by and leave these alone if you like. If you don’t provide a cost, then no cost details will be shown to visitors. If the event is actually free then simply provide a cost of 0 (zero).

Event options

On the right side panel you can find some event options:

• Sometimes you want to be able to link to an event post (by email, or directly via a menu) but would prefer it isn’t included in the main event views – checking the Hide from Event Listings box accomplishes just that
• You might also happen to have a whole load of events taking place on the same day , that can cause some problems in month view – and so, at least by default, no more than 3 events per day are shown in that view – selecting Sticky in Month View helps you to ensure that this event is one of the ones that do show. The question mark’s help text reads, “When events are sticky in month view, they’ll display first in the list of events shown within a given day block.”
• The Feature Event option allows you to designate your most important events for extra emphasis on your pages. Featured events will be highlighted in event views, archives, and widgets, making it a great choice for special engagements that you’d like to have front and center.

When you have done with settings, hit the  "Publish" button.
