1 Event = Multi-locations ?

Hello,

Currently Events Manager currently allow only 1 location per event.

We do have a Feature Called “Recurring event” where you could create an Event that have multiple recurrence (ie: Daily, Weekly, Monthly and some other settings). If that event spans on multiple dates, You could then create multiple recurring events for each locations.

Technically speaking an event is a planned occasion at a certain location. So if you are hosting on multiple locations, you are actually/physically organizing multiple events (just on the same day).

I doubt if there is any plugin out there that approaches physical event planning with multiple locations.

Also, having separate events per location will allow you to list event & location specific info in that single event page. Personally, I think that pushing multiple locations into one single event page might be confusing for readers. ??

Also, EM is well-known for its immens flexibility ??
It uses shortcodes to let you easily list just about anything.

So, what you could do, is create all events separately (create one, then clone for the other locations and just adjust the location).

Then, on a separate page you can use the shortcode [events_list] to only list events of a specific date. For example:
<ul>[events_list scope="YYYY-MM-DD"]<li><a href="#_EVENTURL">#_EVENTNAME in #_LOCATIONTOWN</a></li>[/events_list]</ul>

That would output something like:
– Event in Denver <link>
– Event in New York <link>
– Event in Los Angeles <link>

You can link the list items to take the user to the specific event page for that event/location.

This way, because each event is technically separate of the others, you can maintain bookings and other info per event.

Thanks guys, it seems EM really flexible with huge options, however I confess not so easy for a non-developper like me.
Many of these options need to code to deploy them correctly, and i did not find tutorials for WP beginner like me.

Thanks anyway ??

You just need to know very basic HTML to get most things done. If you are maintaining a website, you should really know at least the basics of HTML. ?? No need to really know programming like PHP, but HTML and a bit of css ??

I know HTML Basics and a bit of CSS ?? However i wonder if i can add a “keywords” field on user submit form, keywords that searchbox can retrieve without PHP programming (unless this new field will be automatically indexed by the global searchbox, which would be great).
