Creating Events

Events are the core content type. Each event represents a vendor event (craft fair, trade show, pop-up market, etc.) that vendors can review.

How to Create an Event

1. Go to Vendor Events > Add New Event in the WordPress admin.
2. Enter the Event Title — this appears on the single event page, archive cards, and in shortcode output.
3. Add content in the Editor — describe the event, include details like hours, vendor setup info, etc.
4. Set a Featured Image — this becomes the hero banner on the single event page and the card thumbnail in the archive grid.

Event Details Meta Box

Below the editor, the Event Details meta box has three fields:

• Location — A text field for the event location (e.g., “Portland, OR” or “Convention Center, Booth Hall A”). Displays on event cards and the single event page with a pin icon.
• Event Date — A date picker for the event date. Displays on event cards and the single event page with a calendar icon.
• Organizer Email — An email field for the event organizer’s email address. Used by the Pro email notification system to notify the organizer when a review is approved. Optional.

Event Types

In the sidebar, assign one or more Event Types (e.g., Craft Fair, Trade Show). These appear as filter buttons on the archive page and as badges on event cards.

Event URLs

Events use the slug /vendor-events/. A single event URL looks like /vendor-events/spring-craft-fair-2026/. The archive URL is /vendor-events/.
