Change Event Location

[nylenaumann]

I was wondering how I could change the location of the event after the event was made. I made a few events and the option to edit the locations do not show up and I need them!
Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Thanks for reaching out to us and giving us a chance to help.

To fully answer your question I would need to know if you are trying to create a new location for the event or if you want to update the previous location. I’ve outlined both methods below to hopefully answer your question.

1) Set a new Event Location

After you create an event you can modify all of it’s details including the location. If you access the WP-Admin screens you should see a menu option labeled “Events”. This will give you a listing of events that you can than search for and find the event you want to edit using the “edit” link.

On the Edit Screen you can scroll down past the event description/content and you will see an area called “The Events Calendar” in this section you will find “Event Location Details” and options to change the Event Location. You will find an option labeled “Use Saved Venue” if you click this you can select “Use New Venue” which will let you create a new location for the event.

2) Modifying existing Location

Within the Events menu of your admin screen you will find an option for “Venues”. Selecting it will give you a list of all your currently created venues/locations. You can search for and select “edit” for the location you want to modify. After you change the information in the “Venue Information” area and save your events will be updated with the new information.

Please let me know if this information was what you were looking for.

Thanks for the advice! It is helpful, however, a suggestion would be to be able to save certain venues and not just a catch all for the venues. Also, it would be nice to just be able to go to the event itself and change the location without having to go in and out, saving locations and using the saved ones. Just a proposal for any future updates!
