Please follow *all* of the following guidelines when adding events to the calendar:

  • Access the admin interface through this link: https://omnicommons.org/calendar/wordpress/wp-admin
  • In the sidebar, note the Events menu
  • If this is a one-time event, choose 'Add Event'
  • If this is a recurring event, choose 'Recurring Event' -> 'Add Recurring Event'
  • Create an Event Title that will fit nicely on the calendar with other events
  • Add a *descriptive* description, include external links if they exist
  • Optional: Add Tags for the event, one at a time, in the right-hand sidebar
  • Choose an Event Category below the Tags widget, depending on who is hosting the event. If the event is not sponsored by an Omni member-group, choose 'others' events'. If the event is a general Omni event, choose 'omni events'. If the event is a working group meeting, choose 'omni working group meeting'.
  • Make sure to add the date and time info (widget area below Description)
  • Add a Location from the dropdown menu. Check the floorplan here if you aren't sure which room is called what. If the location is outside of Omni, you can add the location in the sidebar: Events -> Locations -> Add New Location
  • Upload a Featured Image, such as a flyer, if you wish. It will appear as a thumbnail when folks mouse over the event on the calendar.
  • Publish the Event and you're good to go! When publishing from the calendar, 'Social Broadcast' is on by default, so the event will be published on the @omnicommons Twitter feed as well as our Facebook page.
