Firstly, you will want to log into Wordpress with your own user ID.

Once in Wordpress, scroll to and click the "weekly events" tab in the left hand side panel.

From here, you want to press "Add New" next to the title "Weekly events" at the top of the page, this will add a new event. You will need to give the new event a title and a brief description on what is happening at this event in the blank box below the title.
​
You can attach what is known as a "Bookable Offer" this is essentially an activity that is created in Eleanor, if you wish to add this, press "Attach new offer" and select the correct activity from the dropdown list that appears.

The "Excerpt" is where we include the time and location of the event. The code we use for the correct display is;

<strong>When:</strong> Put time here

<strong>Where:</strong> Put location here

Next, "Repeat on Weekdays" you want to select the days the event is happening.

You also want to select the active from and active to dates (eg. if it's a continuous event you can leave this section as it is, however if it only happens on the 10th May 2023 you would select 9th May 2023 as the "active from" date and 11th May 2023 as the "active to" date - the reason why you select the day before and the day after the event is to ensure the event shows correctly in the app.

Moving onto "Repeat every X weeks" this means how often monthly the event happens, (eg. 1 is every week, 4 is once monthly.) Next is event category, this is which category it falls under (eg. entertainment, restaurant theme night etc.)

"Disable Booking" should be checked if you do not want guests to book, and unchecked if they should be able to book the activity themselves.

On the panel to the right, under "Post Attributes - Order" you need to write the time that the event starts in 24 hour format. Then scrolling down, under "Featured Image" you can select an image that the guest will see when looking at the activity.

Once this is done, scroll up and hit "Publish" this will make the post Public.

Watch the step by step video on how this is done below.
