Slug (optional)
This is the last part of the page URL. WP feeds the event name here, but you can modify it if you'd like. One reason to modify the slug is to make it shorter if your event name has more than 4 words in it. Make sure you choose a slug that is specific enough to not be duplicated or confused with another event. For instance, if your event is an info session, the slug "/info-session/" is very broad and is likely to already be in use. Try adding a dept. or center specific identifier, which could be an acronym, to make the slug more unique, such as "/ftmba-info-session/" or "/accounting-info-session/".
Tags (do not use)
Do not use any tags. Use only categories with events.

We now recommend unpublishing your events once they have passed. Unpublishing means that you can still access the content for the event when logged into WP, but the event will no longer be displayed on our website or in the calendar listing. Why is this important? Published events that have passed can still be found via Google search. This can cause confusion and frustration for our audience, especially when an old event page is easier to find than the new, upcoming event page. |
