websitesupport@ajli.orgThis article will walk you through how to sync an event automatically to the public site in WordPress (works only for Member Essentials Plus and Public Site Deluxe versions)
Take note, it is recommended to only sync your Public Events on the Public Site. Keep your Member Events in the Member Portal only.
Required access:
You will need the Registration Administrator access level or full Administrator access.
How to get there:
- Go to Admin > Member Management
- Select Registration Tool Manager
Steps to be taken:
- First, make sure the the WordPress Sync is enabled for the registration tool by clicking on Setup.
- Scroll to the bottom and find Advanced - WordPress Sync. Set Sync Events to WordPress to Yes. This will enable the setting for all events created in this tool.
- Follow the steps in this article to create/edit an event if you already haven't done so: Creating & Editing Individual Events/Shifts in a Registration Calendar
- Click Manage next to the Registration Tool you want to add events/shifts and choose the event by clicking on the Edit icon
- When you create or edit your event, on the bottom, find Advanced > Enable this event on the public site? and choose Yes.
- The refresh rate will take about 15 minutes and up to 1 hour for newly created events to sync over
- Open a new tab on your browser and enter your Public Site URL (ex) https://anycity.jl.org
- Refresh the browser after some time to see your events show up under League Events
- Take note, setting this field to "No" after an event has synced will not delete the event from your WordPress site and will need to be done manually.
Event Photo
- If you decide to include a photo for the event, the recommended dimensions are 1140 x 680, which will be scaled and cropped to fit on the event page of the Public Site.
Removing an Event that was Synced
Take note, if you set Enable this event on the public site? to "No", after an event has synced, it will not delete the event from your WordPress site.
It will have to be removed manually by someone who has access to update your WordPress site. Contact websitesupport@ajli.org for access.
