How to build an event or conference site with Eventum

Welcome to the world of Eventum. This theme is dedicated to event and conference sites. You can present your event schedule, participants, location and every other details beautifully with Eventum. We’ve prepared some videos to show how you can create a complete event site with Eventum. Let’s see!

After downloading and installing the theme, you can start building the site. We have a video on how to install the theme. You can watch that here. Assuming that you’ve already installed and activated Eventum, now we need to create a page called “Home” and set that as our homepage. Then we will edit that page.

A countdown timer is very important to communicate the event date. It will show how many days are left until the event date. Login to the site and visit dashboard. Open and edit the “Home” page.

You can add images, texts, buttons and more on any page easily. Let’s see how to do it.

Assuming that you can and have already added a menu bar on the top of the site, let’s see how to enhance its functionality. You can add a highlighted ‘Buy Ticket’ button on the top menu easily. At first go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menu. Open the target (top) menu in editing mode. Click ‘Screen Options’ found on the upper right corner of the screen. Mark the ‘CSS Classes’ option to show advanced menu properties. Now create a new custom menu item and add it to the top menu bar.

After adding the menu item to the menu bar, edit this individual item.  Put our custom class ticket-menuinside it. Save changes.

We can add speakers list on the homepage as well as create a dedicated page to list the event speakers. To add a speaker, first go to the dashboard. Create a new speaker by going to New > Speaker. You can also use the left-side Speakers menu option on the dashboard.

To add a schedule, first go to the dashboard. Create a new schedule by going to New > Schedule. You can also use the left-side Schedules menu option on the dashboard.

By default, the speakers’ names may be shown in black fonts. You can make it transparent by adding our custom class into the ‘Speaker Listing’ element. At first open the element’s settings dialogue box. Enter our custom class speaker-transparent inside it and save settings. Update the page.
