This should bring you to the event editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event editor hopefully won&#8217;t contain too many surprises: it is intentionally almost identical &#8211; at least at first glance &#8211; to the regular page and post editor used by WordPress itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as with a page or post, you can add a title and description to your event. The expected controls for saving it as a draft or publishing it are present, too:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-29-at-2.23.06-PM.png\" alt=\"This image is showing the user interface for creating a new event in the WordPress classic editor, allowing the user to add information such as the event title, text, tags, and categories.\" class=\"wp-image-1951003\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Event in the Classic Editor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-6.32.38-AM.png\" alt=\"This image is showing the user interface for creating a new event in the WordPress Block editor, allowing the user to add information such as the event title, text, tags, and categories.\" class=\"wp-image-1952755\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Event in the Block Editor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you&#8217;re familiar with WordPress, you should feel right at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-event-time\">Event Time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, events have specific bits of information associated with them that most pages and posts don&#8217;t require &#8211; start and end dates, for instance, not to mention venues and organizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fields to set all of these things can be found below the description editor, in an area called the <em>events meta box<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-29-at-2.24.13-PM.png\" alt=\"This image is showing the time and date of an event taking place on September 29, 2021, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm in the America\/New York time zone.\" class=\"wp-image-1951004\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Event Time and Date in the Classic Editor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-09-at-6.34.15-AM.png\" alt=\"This image is a calendar for the months of May and June 2022, showing the days of the week and the dates for each day in the WordPress Block Editor\" class=\"wp-image-1952756\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Event Time and Date in the Block Editor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at each of the settings in this area in turn.

Clicking into either date field will pop up a date picker, where you may select your desired dates from a calendar. Event start and end times may be selected from a drop-down menu, or you may enter your dates and times manually if you prefer. If you already checked the <em>All Day Event<\/em> box you will not be able to specify a time for your event<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>All Day Event <\/strong>checkbox is useful when the event is taking place on a particular date (or dates) &#8211; but you don&#8217;t really know when, or else feel that it is good enough to say it takes place &#8220;all day&#8221; without being more specific<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The above covers creating a singular, non-recurring event.
