How do I add events to my website?

Q: How do I add events to my website?

Open your website, then Content, Events Calendar , and click Add event. One record holds the title, venue, city, country, the event's own time zone, its date (or its start and end times), an RSVP or tickets link, a stream link for while it is live, a replay link for after, a note, an image, and an optional related film, product, or auction. Set Status to Published for it to show; a Draft never appears on the website. Choosing a film under Related Film makes the event one of that film's screenings. Every Events block and Live Now block on your pages reads these records, so changing a date here changes it everywhere at once. Choose Yes under Date Only for a festival window or an announcement day: a date-only event is never shown as live. Give an event a start time when something goes on the air or on stage at a set moment. Canceling an event keeps it listed with a Canceled label until its date has passed; Unpublish or Delete removes it.

Art & Film · Full walkthrough

Enter a screening once.

A screening event can appear on the film page and in the website calendar from the same record.

Before you start

Choose the film and have the screening’s venue, local date and time, time zone and ticket link ready. Use one event record so the film page and calendar agree.

Step 1

Create the screening as an event

Open Events Calendar and add the screening. Enter the local start date, time, Time Zone and venue, then the tickets link. Keep Draft until you have confirmed the organizer’s details; do not enter a second event just for the film page.

Open Events Calendar and add the screening as an event. Give it a clear title and enter its date and time zone.

Review the venue information against the screening organiser’s details.

Step 2

Associate it with the correct film

Choose the title under Related Film and save. Check Tags: Festival-tagged events are treated as festival / awards entries rather than ordinary screenings. Use the screening classification that matches the presentation you want, then publish the reviewed event.

Choose the film under Related Film and add the venue and tickets link. This relationship lets the event appear with the film’s screenings.

Check that you selected the correct film, particularly if several titles have similar names.

Step 3

Configure and check the screenings list

Configure the film’s Events block to show Screenings, such as coming up and past or the next three. Set See All Link and Host A Screening Button if useful. Open a screening’s details, ticket destination and narrow presentation to verify the result.

Host A Screening can use the film’s booking contact or the site’s Contact page. Check that destination before showing the invitation. Film association, tags, event status and block filters all affect which events appear; a missing screening is not fixed by making a duplicate record.

Review the film’s screenings list and the website calendar. Open the screening’s details and follow the ticket link.

If a screening changes, update the original event record and review both presentations again. Avoid entering a second copy for the calendar.

If you get stuck

The screening is missing from the film page

Check Related Film on the event and the screenings presentation on that film’s page.
